Little Fish!
I have always enjoyed the water and swimming in the summer and that is why I thought it was so important for the boys to learn how to swim. Its a life lesson that I think everybody should know how to do. So, back a few months ago when we first went to Murray Callan Swim School I was so excited for the boys to get into the water and learn to swim. But, in the 9 weeks that they have gone to classes with Jen I've been amazed at how far they have come. Jack has almost perfected the freestyle and Nick is so cute in the water doing his "alligator tail with his digs".
Swim lessons have been so much more for the boys then just learning to swim. They have learned to love the water and feel totally comfortable in it. I love Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays when I can sit poolside and watch my boys doing something that they love.
I wanted to share some videos of the boys swimming. I hope you enjoy watching them!
My little fish!!!
Until next time.............love from San Diego

A Very Sad Goodbye
After 8 years, two deployments to Iraq, 3 MSG Dets and life in the fleet Marine Corps Nick is hanging up his uniform and going home.
I really can't put into words how much this man we call Uncle Nick means to us. He is not related to any of us other then threw the blood of the USMC but he is a part of this family and we are going to miss him terribly.
Nick came into our lives two years ago when we moved to Berlin. Nick was Kevin's "go to guy" always with the det in Berlin and their working relationship was always strong. But, over the year we formed a more personal bond with Nick. Then it was time for Nick to leave Germany and we thought that was hard. But, we were all thrilled when we learned that we would all be together in California.
For the last 12 months we have done everything together as a family. We have visited all the SoCal attractions -- Sea World, the SD Zoo, WAP, the beach, Legoland, and of course Disneyland. We have laughed so hard our sides hurt, we have cried, we have talked, we have played, we have celebrated, and now we say goodbye.
We are going to miss our Uncle Nick more then words can say. We will miss his big heart, his smile, his kindness, his voice, his hugs, his iPhone, his support, his stories, his big truck, his friendship, his love.
Life here will be so different now that he is gone. But, because he is family we will see him again (he promised that last night when he left). However, it won't be on the regular basis that it has been for a year and we are all going to miss that very much.
Last night was so very hard, we cried, we said our goodbyes and now Uncle Nick has California in his rear view mirror.
WE LOVE YOU UNCLE NICK and
love and lots of tears from San Diego

The First Half of Our Summer!!!
My parents enjoying the annual Pitman 4th of July parade with their grandsons!!!
When we got home to California we decided it was time to move Nick out of his crib and into his big boy toddler bed. I was a little worried how he was going to do now that he could "move around freely" but he has done wonderful!!! From the very beginning he goes to bed at night and stays there. He is such a big boy!!!!
Grammy and Pops made their first visit to California this summer!! Oh my gosh we loved having them here and showing them all the things we love to do here in San Diego!!! Pops was here for a week and Grammy for two and again our time flew by. We missed them terribly when they returned home and can't wait for the next time they come to visit!!!
Finally that brings me to this week. We just returned from our vacation to Disneyland!!! We had a great time on our 3 day stay and enjoyed our time together!!!!
Now we are back in San Diego and back to "normal" life. We can be found in the swimming pool Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays. Baseball practice on Monday and Wednesday nights and at our weekly games on Saturday mornings!!! And hopefully at the beach when we have nothing else to do!! :)
