I am so pissed right now. I just spent the last 20+ minutes updating about our trip and lost it because I was using a window that I left open since a couple of days ago. AAAAAAARGH.
I seriously do not know when I will have time to do that again. 
Bummer. See Current Photos for totally awesome video of the kids. That is all.
We are finally getting settled back into the house after our big trip to Ontario and Quebec. Pictures and videos are being uploaded as I write this!
I’m going to try to catch up a bit:
April 24th Marshall had his first swimming lesson! We heard about a swimming instructor who does private lessons for some of our friends’ kids, so we decided to give it a try. He wore his lifejacket to the hotel pool, and Angela, the instructor, was a bit agressive and dragged him around the pool and he cried and cried for Daddy who was totally at a loss of what to do. Finally we asked her to tell Rick some things to do with him and they eased him into it. By the end of the lesson, he loved her. He’s had a few more lessons since and always asks if Angela’s coming whenever we go swimming anywhere now! Her hourly rate is very reasonable, and the schedule is flexible, so it works really well for us. We usually book his lesson for right before or after one of his friends.
April 27th Marshall had his first dentist appointment. He went with me to my appointment the week before and saw the xrays of my teeth and hung around watching and went back and forth to the waiting room a bit with Daddy and Ella. Then he went on the 27th, same day Rick had an appointment. It seemed to be going pretty well. We sat there and talked with the assistant who showed him all the tools and the light and talked about what they do with them etc. Then the dentist came in. Marshall didn’t want to try out the patient chair. He had to sit on my lap facing me and lay back onto the dentist’s lap. She just counted his teeth and although he cried the whole time, he was ok as soon as he sat up and realized it wasn’t that bad. He was very proud to be sporting a goody bag afterwards, with a toothbrush, and stickers etc.
