Colleen, Michael, Jack, Meghan and Nolan all came over on Sunday for a fun pool day in the sun. We had such a blast and it was great catching up with everyone. It is so funny to see how much kids grow each year and the pool has really provided us an opportunity to measure each kids changes. Jack now completely swims by himself. He was going off the diving board doing partial dives. Partial because he puts his hands in a diving angle, but then jumped in feet first! Meghan is in the water and putting her head under the water. she won't let go of the side, but she will go around the shallow end playing. Well, then there is Nolan. He isn't even one and he was splashing and playing around in his baby float. Mike put him up on the side of the pool and then Nolan would push himself off into Mike's arms. I have attached the video below. So cute.
Tommy had a nice time hanging with Nolan as well. The obsession started when Nolan threw up on his milk causing me to gag and Tommy to rejoice. He licked it off Nolan's finger, shirt and face as if it was chicken sauce. After that, it was love. Nolan would poke Tommy's paws causing Tommy to bark causing Nolan to laugh and do it again. Then came feeding time when Nolan threw off his macoroni and cheese so that Tommy would come around and eat it. Wherever the baby was, Tommy followed.
Hopefully when I am home in July the kids (and Colleen and Mike) will come again. I love my days spent with them and always look forward to their annual trip to Chicago or when I can come visit the home to catch up on life inside the Ritter family and the new events in their lives.
Oh Laura - my favorite. I'm just catching up on your blog - which is always a treat for me. We had just as much fun and always look forward to the next time we hang out with you guys. My life is so blessed because of you and your parents.
