There have been a few times in my life where I truly lived for being in the pool during the summer. One was when I was in swim lessons at the Greencastle pool, and my mom would let us go later in the day to "practice" what we were learning. Another was when I was a camp counselor in Illinois and I spent all of my free time in the pool that was at the camp or poolside. In both instances, I ended the summer looking very brown and with super blonde hair. For a long time now, I haven't had very easy access or time to go to the pool. I went for the second day in a row today! My sister-in-law and brother-in-law's home has a nice above ground pool and today was warm enough to really enjoy it with our son. I convinced my husband to go and we really had a great time. My son likes splashing in the water and it seems that he naturally knows to kick his legs. It is great to have family nearby that have something like this. One day Clay and I hope to be able to be a center for activities that our family can do and we can return and pay forward the favor.
We also got some of our stuff unpacked and sorted today. I called up Clay's cousin's daughter, who lives right down the road, and asked her if she would watch our son while we organized. We spent about two hours just sorting our clothes out of boxes and going through piles of paper. I still have an entire room of the home that is boxes and it will likely stay that way until we move. I am making due with what we have, and unless it is absolutely necessary for me to get out a blender (for example), we will keep that stuff boxed up.
