Memorial Day Fun

I hope you all are enjoying this lovely Memorial Day weekend. We've had many hot sunny days in a row and the girls have enjoyed many days of swimming.

This was on Friday...
By Saturday she was swimming around with no vest on at all! Can't believe we have two swimmers now. Another big milestone for us as parents :)

Matt and Ella swam up to the edge of the pool so I could get a picture (mostly to document Matt's hairiness)...

And then this guy joined them....

It was pretty hilarious because they weren't expecting it and the dog was right on the edge angling down towards the water. Matt was trying to stay really still so they didn't knock him off while also turning the tube so the dog was facing the deck and could jump off. Eventually he just climbed over Ella to get back to dry land. Imagine how much she enjoyed that!

We really had a wonderful weekend - plenty of time just the four of us and plenty of time with friends. Now it's Tuesday morning and back to the grind with school and work...but we're counting down the days until school's out!

I wish - I should have included in the post that it's our friend's who live 5 minutes away and very generous in letting us use it!

Tell me, are any of these milestones as parents a bit bittersweet?

Those girls are just growing up so quickly!

That water looks so cool and refreshing. Do you read by the pool? :) Now, that's a milestone I'll welcome back with open arms!

Happy there is a lot of reading that goes on by the pool - Matt makes fun of me for bringing two books at a time...you never know when you'll finish one and be ready to start a new one!
