Just Keep Swimming...

As usual... nice summer days in July we are at the pool. Here are some pictures of what we can be found doing...

Floating on tummies

playing with toys

blowing bubbles

I got Frank this super cute towel of a martian in Toy Story... I thought what a perfect photo-op

but as usual...

He did not agree with me... too close to nap time and a kiddo not wanting to leave the pool will only give you...

THIS! Ohhh well... still cute regardless!

Air Force Museum

With Friday being a rainy day we headed over to Wright Patterson Air Force Base to check out the Air Force Museum. It had been a while since we had gone... but as usual... it is such a fun place to visit! Frank did a great job exploring and checking out the airplanes with his friends Wyatt and Elliott.
Wen we got there he immediately started shouting airplane! airplane!

Frank as an -astronaut- maybe he will grow into it....

His buddy Wyatt was a pro as an astronaut

Frank was very serious at checking out all the aerospace information

Learning by inquiry I suppose

He even learned how to "fly" a plane

Life is Back Again

We are back from a bit of a blog hiatus....


Updates:
Mommy- I have been teaching two days a week at Sinclair while on my "summer" break. I am also taking a class this summer to add to my teaching license... So perhaps this is why I have been a bit busy and unable to update. I am also taking a trip to Costa Rica at the end of July with a teacher friend... so I am quite excited for that!

Daddy- Daddy Frank is in his last MS3 year rotation... he is doing his OB/GYN rotation... he has already delivered at least 5 babies all by himself... that should be a handy skill in case of emergency!

Frank5- Frank loves swimming lessons and swimming. He is starting pre-pre school at the Bombeck Family Learning Center at the University of Dayton beginning in August. We are very excited about this opportunity and hope he will enjoy learning as mush as his mommy and daddy :)

Potty Update

Potty time about a month later... it is getting better we still have accidents... it is what it is... but pretty god a majority of the time... Frank loves the M&M rewards or -emm-men-knees- as frank calls them...


he loves to count his reward... we will save them... line them up... count them in english... then spanish (thanks dora)... then group them by color and tell me the colors... a bit OCD? perhaps...

guarding his prize... hoping Hershey does not get them!

Boys will be boys...

Frank is an only child... he is his own man and likes his -solitude-... so many times little girls come up to him and desperately try to play with him... he typically completely ignores them... he is not rude or shoves them... just ignores them.... this little girl was so upset he would not be her friend she was crying... I feel he will regret this in about 10 years...

4th of July!

We always love the 4th of July at the Westerville Parade! This year, like last, we joined the Moon/Mahovlic family to watch the parade. Daddy was working 6-6 but was able to join us for fireworks later that night. We had prime area to play and watch the parade. Frank was very excited to see a fire truck! He kept saying it over and over again all morning because I told him we would see a fire truck in the parade... we also saw a police car... ambulance... train... and airplane!

Playing with the toys before the parade

So much fun with cars

Anderson-mania!

We were lucky enough to get a quick visit from the Anderson's as they passed through town. I think it is safe to say Frank was a bit overwhelmed by all the kiddos invading his space... ohh the life of an only child... but it was a nice visit nonetheless.
