But Blue Means Swim....

After being gone for 5 weeks, Brian was ready to come home, put his feet up and relax. But I had other ideas. Actually, we both agreed it was a great weekend to open the pool, which takes at least a few days. Saturday we began the process. Nolan wanted to swim right away, but we explained the pool had to be blue to swim in it. Andrew came over and helped Brian vacuum, which was a HUGE help and we're so grateful!!! By Saturday night the pool was already blue, which is much quicker progress than last year. So Sunday Nolan was very confused as to why we couldn't swim. In his defense it was a beautiful blue color, but it was still slightly cloudy and Brian had to tweak the chemicals. But Nolan keeps asking to swim."Waiting a few days" is torture for a 2 year old! But we got lots done inside and out this weekend and I am very excited!! The pool should be ready for swimming in the next couple days, whoo hoo!! We managed to fit in lots of giggles, tickles, and playing in the mix, so even though it was a "work" weekend, it was wonderful to be together as a family again!!

Splashing Daddy is tough, time for a break!

Hi! Thanks for your comment on my blog. :) (And your previous ones, too). We love hearing from people who are blessed by our story.

Nolan is so cute!!

This is probably a dumb question, but do you know the Kitsteiners? They're at the same base and she keeps a blog, too (maybe that is how you found mine...).
