Swim 'Fenn'

We recently signed Fenn up for his very first swimming lesson. We're excited about this and can't wait to see how Fenn does in the class because he has loved the water since he was born. We're hoping we have a natural swimmer on our hands. The class is taught by Mr. Ed of Adventure Swim School here in Knoxville. Mr. Ed has a pretty extensive resume and is well-known for his teaching methods. Fenn's class begins on Saturday, April 25th and meets each Saturday for 5 weeks. Dan will be the one getting in the pool with Fenn, while mommy photographs and videos everything from the side of the pool. Hopefully, the birth of Piperbean #2 won't interfere with the classes. We don't think it will because it is not likely my OB doctor will schedule my induction for a weekend. So the only way it could interfere would be if I went into labor on my own over a weekend. Anyway, after the baby is born, this will be a good opportunity for Dan to do something special away from the house with Fenn. And really there will only be 1 or 2 more classes remaining after the bean's arrival. This is the Parent/Tot I class and then we'll sign him up for the Parent/Tot II class this summer. We want to get in as many lessons this year as possible.

On the topic of Piperbean #2... Check out the baby countdown in the right-hand column over there. Can you believe we only have less than 90 days to go?!?! {As of the day of this post, we have 12 weeks to go!} We still have so much to do to get ready for our new bean's arrival. We're getting closer on a name for him. Pretty soon, I'll probably post a "Baby Name Poll" so everyone can vote for their favorite. We're not necessarily going to pick the name with the most votes. But it will be interesting to see what everyone thinks.
