besides anna turning four, hazel turning five months, the strawberry picking and the butterfly growing, these are some pics of what’s been happening around here… hazel is fast outgrowing the bumbo seat. she can almost turn herself completely around in it. and she rocks violently and it slides across the table. and this: test run […]

when we aren’t on vacation…
we’ve been on vacation for a good chunk of the summer so far. well. just the beach and batavia. but it seems like a lot. anyhow… here’s what’s been going on when we haven’t been traveling… we signed up for free weekday bowling with amf. we’ve only been once, with our pals, the pattisalls, but […]
sand, surf, sun.
i have no desire to narrate our trip to the beach. it was supposed to be rainy all week, but each day, i woke up and the weather forecast had magically changed overnight and the weather was great. we went to the beach everyday and the pool on most days. last year, it rained so […]
beating the heat.
our friend heather is a member at a local pool. and she invites us all the time. but, i’ve had such unpredictable pool experiences with the lid kids, i always decline for fear of the unknown. yesterday, after a few days of endless playdates at our own house, i was eager to get the little […]

swimming with william
on monday, we were invited to the community pool of william r. and his parents. so, we went. and it was fun.
(ghetto) pool attire
isaac likes his ghetto deck pool… but, he hates wearing his swim trunks (“they’re all wet!!!”): so, i let him just wear underwear: but, eventually that came off, too (they get wet, too, apparently.): but, i don’t know why it really matters at all, because the only part of his body that really sees much […]
ghetto deck pool
i commissioned derek to purchase a $10 blue plastic wading pool from walmart for our deck. we’re high class now. isaac doesn’t really like full all out swimming, so it’s pretty much perfect for us. i’m not sure how many more things we can cram on the deck. we currently have a pool, a sand/water […]
swimming and the kernel
yesterday, we had our first swim of the new swim season, along with some friends. isaac was a bit unsure at first, but after a few minutes, he was all in. then we went to the kernel for a fun lunch before heading home to crash. the pictures didn’t come out as well as i […]
