Swimming
Our kids are like fish. They all love the water and could spend the entire summer at the pool. We have been blessed by our friends Jeff and Jennifer Bauman with a membership to a community pool. It has a diving board, two water slides, a kiddie pool, grills, picnic tables, and a snack bar. I have a feeling that is where most of our summer is going to be spent.
We decided to go out there to swim this evening, after torturing the kids all day with errands. They did such a good job of helping us out with all of our weekend chores and running around that we decided to take the evening off and go swim. We left the house about 4:30 with bathing suits, towels and a cooler packed with dinner. Matt grilled hot dogs for us with out any grilling utensils...oops won't forget those again! The kids swam while he cooked then we all sat and ate dinner and went back in the pool for about another hour. It was so much fun!
God has blessed us with some really great friends. We are so thankful to the Baumans for donating the pool pass to our family this summer. We are meeting new people from our church and around the neighborhood every time we go and the kids are making new friends too.
Needless to say the kids went to bed tonight so easy. We didn't hear a peep out of any of them!

I love reading about the family and look forward to each one of your blogs. It gives me mixed emotions. Fist, I am sad we are not closer to enjoy these times together with you, and secondly, I feel closer because you have shared a part of your life with us and we are given a glimpse of what the family is doing daily. Thanks honey....we miss you all. Love, Mom
