Pool sharks...or something like that...

I love every season...you all know that. I wouldn't want to live anywhere where I couldn't celebrate all four. However, those who know me well know that summer is my favorite. I live for waking without an alarm, soaking up the sun, and playing with no curfews. Liam and Makayla are taking after me just fine. I have LOVED this summer. We have played, and played, and played. I wouldn't want it any other way. Adding a pool to the yard was genius...wonder who's idea that was?! In all seriousness, we have enjoyed the new addition and are very thankful that we were able to do this.




Someone remind me...why did we build a pool?????

Who knew that a bucket filled with water would keep children so entertained! :)

Love at first splash!

Believe it or not, Makayla is swimming! I can't believe it. We've been playing in the pool for a few weeks now, and she hasn't shown a lot of interest in putting her head in the water. She's watched some of her friends do it. Little by little, she has been gaining confidence. Monday she says, "Mommy, can I swim to you under the water?" Not thinking she would really do it, I told her to go for it. Well, go for it she did. She hasn't stopped yet. What a fun thing to watch!
