Swimming this summer has been so much fun! I think it's because we have actually been able to go a few times. I think Kimi and Jared have enjoyed it too. I love seeing my nieces and their kids and visiting with my sister in laws too. The little kids make me smile because I see their parents in them and it brings back such fun memories. I love reminiscing!
I was impressed with Stacey's little girls. She told them not to go into the pool until she came out and they were so good to obey. They didn't even get close to the water while they were waiting. Sara even talked to me and told me how her mom only had brothers and prayed that she would have daughters and look.....she got us!
Natalie and her cute little ones came up today too. I didn't get in the pool today since Mallory and Kathy were taking me to lunch again for the second half of my birthday. (we decided celebrating twice for each birthday is how we need to do it for now on.) I love the little moments that we have together. I think the little bit of time we have together here and there will keep us close. I want my kids to know their cousins and their cousins kids and I like the idea of them knowing us too!
This summer has been one of my favorite summers for a long time. I feel like I have enjoyed it more and also have been able to enjoy my kids more. I'm thankful for my extended family and for the sacrifice they make of their time to have us over.....Darinda and Randee rock!
