Snuggles, Swimming and Such

We made another quick visit to snuggle on Reed a little, and to bring the girls back with us for the fourth.  I can't say that he has really grown very much.  He probably weighs around 8 pounds now, but he is still tiny.  I think that snuggly newborn stage is the greatest of all!  You blink your eye and they're grown!!

Pop is in heaven with his buddies!

 Reed has two great big sisters!!

Anyone want to wager how spoiled this one's going to be by his Pop?

Precious!!

At the beginning of the summer, Maddie enjoyed the pool, but wouldn't put her face in the water.  Now, she has exceeded all of our expectations!  Today she mastered going to the bottom of the deep end getting rings!!

She also offers free rides to turtles!!

As I've said many times before, "God Bless Maybelle".  Her pedigree leaves lots to be desired, but she's  an angel with the girls.  

Back to swimming, as Lillian watches over as lifeguard, Maddie conquered the slide.  She had first said that she would only do this with Uncle C, or when she turns 6!!  Today she let Pop catch her a few times, and then told him to go to the shallow end!  She's a pro now!!  They celebrated the accomplishment with a popsicle and a little snuggle!

My summer is flying by this year!!  I wouldn't trade a second of it though for all the wonderful memories we've made!!
