summer fun







Thanks to our friends who own a very nice home in a great neighborhood with an even greater pool, we spent lots of time swimming this summer. Chris spent most of the summer studying for his National Dental Boards, so we were anxious for the test to be over with and done. On August 15th he took the 8 hour test, and PASSED! Once we got the letter with the good news, we didn't waste anytime and took the kids swimming! It took Jonah just once in the water to decide that he had no fear and he swims on his own with his "water-wings". He does more jumping-in than he does swimming. Mia enjoys the water, but her mom doesn't like to waste the swim diapers for the 3 minutes that she stays in the water. So, she just gets a little dip from time to time. It was a great past time for a very humid climate. Thanks Jones family for the use of your pool!

Hey no problem, we are just glad someone got to use it. Next summer we will have to have lots of pool parties, we can hardly wait to spend an entire summer at home!! You guys are great friends and we are so glad that you haven't ditched us like all of our other friends (that's right we are talking to you- Nasals, Painters, & Woods!!), well at least not yet anyway!!
