We are so lucky! One of our closest friends here, who happens to live two doors down, got a pool at the end of last summer. It was been such a blessing for us. She invites us over to swim almost every afternoon during the week that the weather is nice and sunny (which isn't always!) and weekends for family swim. Thanks, Sheila! And, if for some reason she isn't around, our neighbor across the street and next door on the other side also have inground pools. It's made a HUGE difference in the boy's swimming abilities. Owen plays almost completely in the deep end where he can dive, tread water endlessly, and loves to do the back stroke and front crawl. Em is finally moving away from the stairs to hang on the side of the pool AND he gets his chin wet! HURRAH! Sheila wouldn't let me take a pic of her, so I took one of her cutie pie 2 year old, Carson, instead.

ohhh!!! so jealous. the pity of jersey city - too many big buildings! i have heard that some buildings have pools and i need to work on those friendships. looks so fun.
i just checked the entry again and needed to tell you how BEAUTIFUL your boys are. i'm sure the third will be every bit as much of a stunner. i want him and ellie to meet very early on. :)
Yeah, we could have really used another friend in the neighborhood with a pool when we visited last summer! I guess we got along just fine with the slip 'n slide and buckets of water down the gutters, but there's nothing like a pool! Those will be great summer memories to have!
