We were in the car the other day and Zoe was making a lot of noise - singing, talking, etc.: she was just chattering away. Ellie finally had enough and said, "Zoe, put a lid on my ears!"

Just keep swimming!

This spring Dave and I decided to build a pool in our backyard. We'd put down sod and landscaped it all last spring soon after we moved in, but the yard is really small and it was hard for us all to play in the yard without crashing into plants along the wall or sending balls and frisbees into the neighbors' yards. The kids are at a great age for a pool and we figure it was now or never to do it! Here was one of the initial rough designs, which, other than the grass, is a fairly good representation of the finished product:

But then, this isn’t about me… it’s all about the kids, right? And that is probably really why Shari asked me to write the blog-I spent quality time with the kids last Friday. Shari needed me to watch the kids while she went to a photo shoot and since it was on her way, I told her to drop the kids off at my house. My friend Nancy stopped over as she had been wanting to meet the kids and we proceeded to draw and watch cartoons. The kids, Aidan especially, were shy at first when Nancy stopped by, but it didn’t take long and they were happy to have her there- crawling all over her and telling her life stories. As we were busily writing our names, drawing houses and cars, ...
