The Pool Friends

Noah and I have been going to the Clear Creek Colony pool with our friends Grace, John Barrett and Sadie. Grace is a friend of mine from Sunday School at Calvary. She and her husband Clint teach the class. Grace and Clint our also Auburn graduates so we bonded with them immediately! When we started in the class there was only one couple expecting the first child of the class. Grace and Clint were second with John Barrett and now there are seventeen children under the age of three. Round two is in full swing. Grace makes motherhood look effortless and beautiful. I enjoy our friendship very much! Taking the kids to the pool this summer has been great fun. Grace makes it all look easy and I am learning from her laid back example. I look forward to Noah being a little older so he can play more with Sadie and John Barrett.
This is Sadie. She is full of energy and never meets a stranger. She had more fun at the pool eating dirt from a flower pot than swimming with us!
This is John Barrett. He is a little camera shy. He is such a sweet and respectful two year old. I hope Noah turns out like JB.
And this of course is Noah all wrapped up and protected from the sun!
