A start to the holidays

The holidays began with a terrific trip to Delaware to spend time with family, and for Anton to meet many family members for the first time.  He got acquainted with Pop-Pop (Steve's Dad), his uncle Curt, and his cousin Lauren.  We enjoyed good food, a great trip to the Delaware Museum of Natural History, and some hilarious games of Apples to Apples.

Karl had his first YMCA swim meet of the year on December 6th.  He swam hard, improving his 5 meeter freestyle time by 2 seconds since the summer, and his backstroke by 6 seconds!  Several meets are yet to come for the winter season.  That's Karl swimming hard in lane 2.

Our babe is growing fast and is such a happy and social little guy.  Anton rolled over from tummy to back for the first time on Saturday, December 6th.  He couldn't reproduce his new trick that day, and it seemed as though he wasn't quite sure what happened, or how it happened.  He managed to do it again once the following day.  He squeals in delight while playing...here are some of his latest sounds.
