perfect july

Aaaah.




The little pool was perfect today, nice and warm, but not miserably hot. It was sunny, but not to the extent it hurt our eyes.




I brought Maria along to help lifeguard b.g. One baby at the pool, I can manage. Two? No.


But then she got tired.


These two are enjoying a moment of reflection. She plugged his snorkel, and then he hit her over the head with a kickboard.

Whee.

Let's think about being nicer.



Okay, and this guy:


I was dipping p.g.'s toes in the water, and he was roaming around with Maria on his tail. Then I felt little arms around the back of my neck, and his face against my shoulder.

I said, "I love you, Buddy."

And in my ear I heard, "I luff do, Gamma."

Oh. My.

Mmm, mmm, mmm. love, Val
