Springtime

A mild winter leading into a warm spring means that the backyard pool made its first appearance last weekend.

Excitement was high, but I’m not sure the boys spent even a total of 5 minutes actually in the pool.  It’s really just a backyard accessory that give them a free pass to run around in bathing suits and get as dirty as they want.  It’s a rite of summer, like popsicles and snow cones.  We just couldn’t make it to the actual summer, so I guess it’s technically a rite of spring.

I’m savoring this shot of Tate’s sweet hair.  I took him yesterday for a short summer haircut, so for now its good-bye wavy locks.  He’s adorable both ways, although currently unrecognizable.
