Sittin' poolside

A beautiful day :: perfect to get out our pool and go schwimmin' {as Ella would say}.

So there we were, on this beautiful day, hanging out by our {half deflated} pool... now wait just one second.

Phew. That's better. Same girl, same spot, new bikini and hat.

And a whole new year of fun.

If you need to reach us, we'll be hanging by our posh pool, sipping chilled Powerade. Or sharing snacks with our beloved, currently on a leave of absence from work, sprinkler chasing, canine friend Leroy. We'll be in and out of the mud, tasting puddles (? yuck I know!) and plucking flowers from the gardens. Maybe even an afternoon ride on sweet Alberta, Aunt Leah's beautiful and very kind horse. I'm sure we'll be spotting deer, antelope, and bunnies in the backyard, and on those special days, we'll find Spencer to take us on a work-related adventure. Our possibilities are truly endless.

... ahhh ... happy summer ...
