I Swim!

Julian has an affinity for the water! He loves wearing his new swim belt in the pool. The swim belt is an interesting implement and swimming aid because as the swimmer gains confidence you remove the blocks from the belt gradually, without them noticing. Hopefully, by next summer Julian will be a more accomplished swimmer and will be belt free! But as for now, Julian is enjoying scooting around the pool. Enjoy the video!

So Cal is where my mind stays!

In late June, we headed over to San Diego with our good friends "the Melick's" for a long and relaxing weekend. This was the first time that we had been back to So Cal since we returned to Tucson in the winter of '08. We were able to savor wonderful dining, get in some shopping, enjoy water time via the beach and pool, and visit Sea World. The weather was absolutely perfect (70 degrees) and gave us all a much needed hiatus from the heat! Julian relished the time spent in the water and on the beach, but especially the time spent with Cole and Shane. We will definitely have to go back in the very near future!
