swing, swing, swing on a hot summer day...
one of the things we've been "meaning to do" for several months is to hang ethan's swing in the backyard... so he had yet to experience the thrill of a swing until last weekend. the girls and i went to a beautiful park on a beautiful mild tennessee saturday evening. the day before had been 100+ degrees, but a much needed rain cooled saturday off quite nicely. after sitting and talking on the back porch in our pjs all day, we took subway sandwiches to the park and watched ethan enjoy his first swing! he absolutely loved it! from a critical photography perspective, some of these shots are not the greatest because my cute little subject was constantly swinging back and forth...and i still am not an expert at using all the settings on our new camera. but from a mommy's perspective, i think i captured some great moments. :) so ignore the blur, and imagine ethan's giggles!! and yes, that is lipstick on both of his cheeks.. what do you expect when you're the only baby around a bunch of girls??
i also took a little video... but youtube really lowers the quality of it- i hate that! you can still hear his giggles and see his fat little legs kicking toward the end. 
not sure what to think at first!
what a rush!
he's loving it now!
"anybody gonna come swing with me?"
"hey mom! are ya sure you and caroline can fit on that?"
here's more pictures that i had to include... daddy promises we can hang ethan's swing soon!

What sweet pictures!
I love how you refer to your baby by name, the technolgy that God has allowed today makes it so great for Mommy's, Daddy's, and Big Brother's to bond with Caroline in the womb. When Hannah Grace was only minutes old, Samuel came into the room and began talking to her and calling her by name and she at once turned her head to him. It was such a sweet moment. It is great to read you blog, you seem to be such a wonderful Mommy!
(Thanks for helping me reminisce)
Okay I've taken lots of swinging pictures since having kids, but never one with me swinging with them. I LOVE THE PICTURE OF YOU SWINGING ALONGSIDE ETHAN. That is just too cute with your expressions and all. Thanks for sharing. So, you know what this means. You've got to go to the park with me soon so you can take a picture of me swinging like that with my kids. :)
