water babies

This weekend we visited our neighborhood pool for the first and second times this season. Caroline took to the water immediately, and Kate required a little more time to feel at ease. By the end of day 1, though, both girls were jumping in from the side, and felt comfortable floating unassisted (Puddle Jumpers on, of course). Yesterday Kate surprised us both by wanting to jump in without us catching her (and going under)! Our swim lessons are scheduled for next month, so we'll see what happens without the floaties then! Settings: 85mm, ISO 200, f/6.3, 1/1000 sec.

it's the little things: water

It's time for our monthly blog circle again! This month's theme is "water." Such an easy one since we play in the water practically every day! I took these when we were down in Austin at Nick's parents' house a couple of weeks ago. Nick's mom and I took the girls out to the stream behind their house, stripped them down, and let them wade in the water. They had so much fun throwing rocks and splashing in the beautiful last light of day. They could have stayed out there forever!

Follow our blog circle around, and leave some comments for my friends! Next up is Megan Dill. Her work is so inspiring!
