June

Abby loves her swimming pool so much. She loves to kick and splash and crawl in and out of it again and again and again. Joe was working on some landscaping and Abby was getting very bored...so we set up her pool under a shade tree and she supervised Joe's hard work in the sun!

Here she is singing a song...presumably an "Ode to the Pool"
Abby and I have actually started taking swimming lessons at the F.L. Junior High pool through community ed. She totally loves playing in the water and playing with the other kids in her class...but she seems to sort of want to do her own activities, not necesarily follow the instructions provided.

Joe points at me...I point at him.

whatever.

Also of note, my peony that I bought from some lady for $3 a few years ago actually BLOOMED. It was goregous! To think...it started it's life in a cool whip bowl...wow!

We have been trying to spend some time out on the water as a family...but Abby has developed an intense dislike for her lifejacket. (I mean she REALLY hates the nasty little thing and can throw a complete FIT!) We will be very pleased when she grows into the next size jacket, as it will hopefully be much more comfortable for her! (And will allow us to spend more boat time together!)

For Father's Day we went up to the Tuma cabin...here are Abby and Millie riding together in the backseat. (This is Joe's "proof" that we need a new, bigger truck. Look how peeved Millie looks,)

And up at the cabin, Abby again wanted to swim in her pool!!

Some snaps of Abby and Joe clowning around on Father's Day!

She is so fun!
