Harley's Gift (and kids in the pool)

Harley likes to bring us gifts. Her latest was a little bird. I hate to hurt her feelings but I am not going to put a dead bird up on the nick nack shelf, even if she brought in the whole bird this time.
Harley, brought the bird into the hallway and proudly set it down so that I could scream. Then she took a few steps back and laid down with a smile on her face. Proud of her bird gift.
It's been a year, maybe two, since my parents had their pool up and running. This year Leesha and some of her friends scrubbed it clean and my dad got the chemicals, filters, motors and whatever it is that is needed to get the pool going. Before it was filled all the way the kids went swimming. It was great because the water was low enough that they could stand up and the water was below their necks. They had a blast! Too bad they had to fill it up in order for the filters and such to work right. It built up their confidence and hopefully calmed some of their fears of pools bigger than the bath tub. What am I talking about??!!?? Isaac was jumping off the ladder and pulling on Jim's shorts and having a great time. Naissa still wanted to wear the swim vest and was more cautious...so it is her that I said those previous things about.

What's a blog without a picture of Isaac playing baseball?
It's his favorite thing to do in the world.
