It couldn't have been more fitting that on Bridget's last day of school our pool was ready for swimming! Last Thursday we celebrated both events and officially got our summer off to a great start!
What I can say about Bridget's first year of preschool? It was simply perfect from all aspects...amazing school, wonderful teachers and the sweetest group of classmates for Bridget. We cannot wait to spend the next couple of years being a part of the school! I couldn't help but shed a few tears saying goodbye to Bridget's teacher, Mrs. Wolff. What a job she had and what a great job she did. In the beginning of the year, Bridget had some tearful mornings and it wasn't easy leaving her. Mrs. Wolff made it easier and I never worried that Bridget wasn't getting the love and attention she needed even when it wasn't coming from me. Bridget just loved her and we will miss her!

She was also happy to be sporting her first braid! (Mommy can't french braid, so a pony braid is as fancy as it's going to get!)
Bridget & Sydney...My sister and Sydney's mommy are childhood friends. Another reason why I love living where I grew up-old friends are everywhere!

And now for that first dip...it was literally just a dip on Thursday evening after dinner, but it was so exciting!
By the weekend we were swimming morning, noon and night. Bathing suits, towels, pool toys and sunscreen and now scattered all over the house. Not only is the pool so great, but the lanai area as well. Even when we're not swimming we have plenty of room outside to hang out and play. I think that we all love the extra outdoor space just as much as the pool! Bridget instantly got braver while swimming in her own pool than she ever has been in the past. She's getting used to getting her face wet and jumping in from the side. We'll be starting swim lessons in a couple of weeks and we hope she'll be swimming on her own very soon.
Ross is handful in the water, plain and simple. I don't even know what else to say about it. Just a handful...
Summer Fun Bucket!
Gotta lather up!
Oh Ross...
