Fun in the Sun

We have spent most of this week just hanging out at my mom's apartment and playing in the pool for a few hours nearly every afternoon. The boys just love being outside in the water! They've always been fearless but they've taken it to new levels recently. They literally jump into the pool to swim with their aunties and Nana. And Cullen likes to dunk his face right in the middle of playing with his water toys. He will suddenly just bend down and dip his face into the water. Then he comes up laughing! And both boys, especially Cullen, have started flinging their entire bodies down into the water in the kid's pool and trying to 'swim' by themselves. The first time Cullen did this, my heart stopped. I was only an arm's length away so I pulled him up and, of course, he was laughing hysterically. Then he kept trying to do it again and again. I have to watch them like a hawk in the pool! I guess their fearlessness around water is both a blessing and a curse. I'm glad they're not afraid of it, but I do wish they wouldn't enjoy diving into the water by themselves so much. I think we'll definitely be taking them for swim lessons next spring! Here are some pictures from the week:

Just chillin' in the pool

They are fascinated with this hand rail, they like to squeeze through it over and over and over...

An old favorite, the swings!

This might be my new favorite pic of Jackson

I often laugh at the things that seem like a good idea to Jack and Cullen

Jumping in!

Daddy comes tomorrow and we couldn't be more excited! This is the longest we've ever been apart and it feels like like forever. I miss my husband so much! I can tell the boys miss him a lot too, I can't wait to see the looks on their faces when they first see him!
