We are swimming! (EVERY day!)

My parents are all settled in here in College Station. They have a beautiful home in a great neighborhood, just down the street from us and in the same subdivision as Jerra's Kindergarten. They will be picking her up in the fall from school and keeping her for a couple hours in the afternoons. They are also across the street from one of her friends' grandparents house, so that will provide for lots of play dates!

As soon as they moved in they decided that they needed a pool! We didn't argue. And since it has been finished, Jerra has been in it swimming - every-single-day! She will be part fish by the time the summer is over. She has been going to various Vacation Bible Schools in the morning and swimming over there every afternoon. Jorja is getting very good at swimming too - she puts her head under water, is learning how to float on her back and has no fear when it comes to jumping in. I am sure she will be swimming on her own fairly soon. And Bradyn just loves sitting on the 'shelf', throwing the toys into the pool and splashing away.
Geoff is in the process of building them a HUGE deck right now, they have already purchased new patio furniture, and dad has installed an outdoor tv. I think every weekend for the next 4 weeks is booked with swimming parties! Jeff, April and Hailey are coming in town in July as well - looking forward to their visit! With temperatures hitting 100 this week, I am sure we will be spending a lot of time around the pool this summer!
