It finally happened. The cherished swing swung for the last time...well, snapped, is more like it. Truth be told, the swing had been very "squeaky" of late...and with Troy's added weight (plus winter clothing) we knew the end would be near. So, during one of our daily swings (while singing songs to drown out the squeaks) one of the ropes broke (insert gasps here). Since the other rope was still intact...and Troy was fitting "snugly" in the swing...he simply bobbled to the side a bit until I caught him. In fact, he seemed to enjoy it!! The only reason I had taken a picture, moments before the incident, was to show Auntie C that Troy had picked out one of Jude's hats to wear that day...kismet.

We have so many fond memories of the swing. You couldn't walk by the swing without Troy begging to go on it! When I was looking for a picture of Troy's first swing...I was shocked at how little he looked (or maybe how BIG he looks now!).
