Making Up for Lost Time

Ian, Orion, James, and their parents are down for the weekend, and it has been the perfect excuse for catching up on our pool time. We’ve had two days full of water gun fights with cousins, and the boys have loved every minute of it. Can you tell?James is out… PEACE!

We Are Never Gonna Get There

We tried to go to the islands again today. It was blue skies, sunny, not too much wind. It was perfect… until we got out front. It was so foggy, we figured out quickly it was time to turn around. DMR was out and about, although they were hard to see.We made it back under blue skies and headed home.We spent the rest of the day in the pool. It wasn’t quite the islands, but it’ll certainly do.

They are BACK

Momma Watch This!

Christian was still hunting, but Jackson stayed with me today. Now isn’t that better? Both of them will be here tomorrow and all will be right in my world.

Still Here

Most of my out of town family is on their way home and things seem to be getting back to normal after the funeral. It was so good to see everyone, and so much fun to hang out with my little brother and sister so much, and have lunch with my aunt and cousin. I still haven’t picked up my camera much, but we did sneak in a swim and some snaps. Now doesn’t that make it feel like summer?

Pool Party

We had family over Sunday for a cook-out, swimming, and yes, even some cupcakes to celebrate Jackson one more time. I forgot about my camera, as I often do when we have family stuff, until we got in the pool. How could I resist underwater pictures of this little devil, I mean angel, lol. And a couple of all the cousins there… Look at that boy’s enormous foot. I think he’s in size 6 these days. I bet I’ll be able to wear his shoes next summer! Not that I will, I’m just sayin’.

Underwater in Destin

Many days of the last couple weeks were spent in the pool. I happen to have a few pics. One day our friends came to swim with us. Thomas didn’t have his goggles on, so his eyes were closed in all of them. Chlorine burns! Katherine was surrounded by boys, as she always is with her two brothers. Isn’t it nice to see some pink around here? See how in focus she is? It’s because girls are much more cooperative than boys when it comes to pictures. Johnathon did a little underwater yoga… I love it! The pool is so much more fun in Destin than at home, especially with friends.

That Time Again

Can anyone remember what my favorite thing is about summer? Is the picture too much of a hint? Underwater pictures, and they are BACK!!! Looks like Christian has to show me a peace sign, even underwater. It’s the age, right? Please tell me it is…There’s not much I can do about my smurfy looking children. The entire inside of the pool is blue. I tried to compensate, but blue children it is. Flash helps a little, but creates it’s own problems. William and Christian, they are 10, so PEACE! Jackson is only 5, so anything goes. Oh, how I love underwater pictures. I’ve always loved the pool, and this is just one more reason. Welcome to our summer!

The Problem, The Solution

Charlie and David came over today and went swimming with us. I love these kids, and they can’t get enough of each other. I had to break out the camera. As much as I love this underwater picture taking, and you know I love it, I have problems editing the pictures. Everybody always looks a little smurfy. I hate to get rid of the blue cast on everyone, because, well, it’s hard, and besides, that’s what we look like underwater, but blue skin is just not healthy looking. I had a thought. I’ve been working on a bunch of black and whites lately, and figured I’d give that a try.Okay, color casts gone, but so are all those fun summer colors. Guess I didn’t solve squat!

Back to Normal

Now that I’m feeling almost human again, we are back to swimming every day. Deedy came over today and swam with us. Why is swimming more fun when there are people there to go with you?Christian spent most of the time trying to master the underwater surf/skate board.Jackson spent most of the time squirting everyone in the head. When there aren’t any other kids around, we become playmates. There’s no lounging around on the side, and we must participate in volleyball games, races, water gun fights and underwater surfing. Deedy had no problem with that. It’s good to be almost human again and able to do some of those things and it’s really good to get back to normal.
