Beating the Heat

Though the calendar says September it feels more like July to me.  The humidity and heat seam to last forever and it's these hot and humid days that make me so grateful for the option to go swimming.  The way we beat the heat around here is to either stay indoors or, the more fun option, go swimming!   

We have had so much fun hanging out with friends at the pool all throughout the day and sometimes we have even let the kids stay up late to swim 'till the sun goes down.  So many fun memories this summer in the water.  Gwendolyn is in love with the pool and just all water activities.  Neal and Tyler have often gone for a quick swim after dinner, while Gwen and I stay home, and it's so fun to hear the excitement in Neal's voice as he tells me about their time at the pool with just him and daddy.  

The big accomplishment this summer was Neal learning to swim!   He can almost make it across the width of the pool all by himself.  He has turned into quite the little fish this summer.

So if you come visit us, at least for the next few weeks, bring your swim suit 'cause we are practically living at the pool.
