And I Was a Skeptic...

I've seen these "Bumbos" everywhere and wondered who would actually spend the money for one...until I was given one to try today! I've been trying to figure out how to do the next few months with a currently 4 month old, over 18 pound baby that can't yet sit up. I'm carrying her a lot, and have been debating a new baby carrier to try to help...but at least for today...this has become a total lifesaver! (If I can just keep Nathan from sitting in it or using it as a helmet we'll be golden!)

Jumping Back In...

Nathan--refusing to get out of the water long enough for a picture

Lookin' Good

Ready for some serious fun!

As our summer winds down...I'm anxious to get back to "documenting". But, the sheer quantity of pictures from our "summer memory-making" is pretty overwhelming. So, in order to get back going without getting too bogged down...here are some pictures taken just this last week.

We have a pool in the neighborhood of the condo we're now renting. We've had just totally loved having it...this last month especially. Nathan has become a real swimmer, Joshua has discovered it's at least as fun to make conversation with the people sitting on the chairs as to swim, and Elizabeth has amazed me by thoroughly enjoying the whole experience herself! We're looking forward to school starting, but this is definitely a part of summer we are really going to miss!
