first dip in the pool this summer

it's nearly mid july, yet we're just using the pool for the first time this summer! so sad, it's just been hard to get back to normal again. at least it only took one time for nj to warm up to the pool this year. the first summer, he loved the pool and water. last summer, it took us several tries just to lure him close to the water at all. thanks to auntie tine for sitting with him to splash his feet and to uncle scott for carrying him in, holding onto him, and making sure he was safe and had fun. they already had their kids to watch in the pool too, they're so good to him. it made me so happy to see him having fun in the water and to spend time with friends relaxing. what a day to remember.
