Swimming

Emma went to the pool today for the first time. It was bittersweet, as I remembered last year...not only were we with our neighbors, Martha, Keith and Guen, but Steven and I were looking forward to taking our own baby (who was in my belly at the time) to the pool this summer. (We didn't find out about his deployment until later.) It's a good thing Emma has so many aunts to help us forget what we are missing...and they all came along for the ride.

Ugh..not the hat, Mom!

Emma had a good time. She did NOT like her hat. We ended up putting sunscreen on her head instead. She also seemed to prefer the big pool over the baby pool. I think she had the most fun 'swimming,' aka, kicking while Mom pulled her around.  Here is a short video that Aunt Faith took on her phone....there is no audio, but just imagine me saying, "kick, kick, kick."
