Bath Time

Nathan and Ella enjoying all the bubbles!

Happy Birthday Grandpa Beckering

Nathan was just sad he wasn't there in person to give you a Birthday hug and Ella thinks a pacifier is kind of a cool thing to suck on. She would have it in her mouth the whole day if we let her! Love you Grandpa Beckering!

A night of swimming at Zeeland Recreation

Nathan, Tim, and Ella in the pool

Malachi was a fish

Here is Eric and Sam having fun at the pool

Tuesday night we met up with Eric, Jessica, Malachi, and Sam and went swimming at the Zeeland Recreation Center. We thought it would be fun to get the babies used to the water for the upcoming summer. At first Ella didn't know if she would like it, but she was splashing and laughing at the end. Nathan thought it was fun if we put him on the side and pretended to let him jump off into the water. It was a nice way to get out and the babies slept in the next morning after a big night of swimming. It was great to catch up with Eric and Jessica again. We plan to do it more often. On a side note, we would covet your prayers for my Grandpa Lance who is in the hospital in Minnesota with a bowel obstruction. He is not the greatest surgical candidate and we pray that the problem will resolve on it's own time.

Nathan dancing for Grandpa Beckering's Birthday

Nathan and Ella have fallen in love with a CD from the library and we probably listen to it at least 2-3 times a day. They know the songs and love to dance, sway their heads, or tap their feet to the music. Tonight Nathan really got into it and even gave us hand gestures. Ella was a little more subdued and preferred to push her belly in and out! We dedicate this dance to Grandpa Beckering for his Birthday tomorrow. We love you Grandpa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
