Good times at the pool...

We are fortunate to still have some good friends/old neighbors at our old apartments, and we've been able to visit the pool there a few times.

Unfortunately, they do not allow tubes or floaties of any sort, so Daddy's neck and shoulders get quite a workout with our little fish!

Thankfully, Miss Mary doesn't mind hanging out in the hot weather to lend a hand with the kids as well, and Jack appreciated a new lap to sit in for awhile!

Alas! Our little girl has gotten her beautiful locks trimmed! They were REALLY ratty lately, what with all the swimming and sweating, and well, Daddy-watching-her-so-hair-goes-unbrushed-regularly :o) so we both decided it was time for a cut. Mommy and Kate went together for a girls' morning out. Kate did awesome. She was able to sit and watch me for a little while, then her Turkish stylist (oh yeah, this wasn't any ol' Kids Kuts, we hit the salon for her mane, haha!) went to town, setting her up on a booster seat and using the blow dryer and everything! It looked so nice afterwards and she was very excited about it. Ironically we hit the pool just hours later, so the 'do didn't last, but she sure was pretty!

Oh, and she got a new two-piece suit (the back-ups from last year were just WAY too snug so we splurged on a sale at Target!) and I think she is trying to show off her new suit in this picture rather than her hair!
