Despite the twin crippling effects of my bad back and my slow computer, the 4th of July came and went. I managed to drag myself out with the boyz to a block party in a friend’s neighborhood, and since I sat poolside, I got this rare photo of them swimming. Brady has taken to the water without fear, even jumping in with nobody waiting to catch him. Kyle still doesn’t like to put his face in the water.
Also please note Kyle’s haircut. Stewart did it himself with the new razor he got for his birthday. Better than blowing $15 at the barber shop every four weeks!
Antics in the Houses continue as expected. No to remains unbroken or intact in any way. Solar system drawings, paintings, and models proliferate and decorate our walls. Laundry mounts. Business as usual.
What a great picture! Brady’s face is not so round! I can hardly wait to see him and Kyle.
Our kids are exactly the same at the pool. Erin will jump in and doesn’t mind anymore when I let her head go under – sputters a bit and still looks surprised but climbs out and runs around for more anyway. Luke will blow bubbles and thinks he knows how to swim but still will not jump in. We’ll see how he does at lessons (which he’s been begging for for months!) next week.
