Back in the Pool

Danny & Inna

For some reason we couldn't quite understand, Danny has been afraid of the pool this past year limiting himself to the step and making sure he was far enough out of reach that we couldn't yank him into the water with us. This of course hampered our attempts to get him to learn to swim. Well gratefully yesterday he got over those fears and has been loving his ability to noodle swim his way around the pool. Hopefully we'll have him swimming unaided by the time Labor Day rolls around.

Is it May *already*?

Oh my word. I cannot believe we are in May already! Where are the long dragging days of yesteryear? All the plans to take pictures of our 2010 have been spoiled by the realities and routines of every day life; with a few laughs here and and a couple of tears there.

To break the monotony of it all, the three of us are gearing up for a week away in Curacao in June. Just at the right time to celebrate both mom's and son's birthdays. It seems all we want to do is really sit on the beach in the sun with a cocktail chilling under the shade of its umbrella.
