Twisting by the Pool

A much longer post detailing our trip to the Finger Lakes is forthcoming. In the meantime, to kick off the summer season, here are some pictures of the girl enjoying various water sports. . .

Here's Esme going for an evening swim at her friend Phoebe's house. Shortly after this picture was taken she toppled over and into the water. This was quite a shock and tears ensued. Better here than at the big pool.




Speaking of the big pool. Upon returning from our trip we headed right over to the community pool. Esme thoroughly enjoyed herself in what I would consider one of the best equipped kiddy pools around...




Later that day we decided to inflate our little kiddy pool. It's quite small, just big enough for Esme and one very tiny friend. Good thing because, as any who has seen our yard can attest, that's about all we have the space for.

Strawberry Fields Forever



We stopped by our CSA this weekend to do a little strawberry picking... 6 quarts worth! Esme decided that despite being a summer baby, she's not one for the heat. Soon after this picture was taken we had to take refuge in the shade which offered little relief. Just the same, Esme was a much happier camper...

Pretty Sneaky, Aunt Sasha



Funny thing. As I was dressing Esme this morning I came upon something unexpected in her dresser: a Red Sox tee. How did that get there? Well, the only Red Sox fan I know is Sasha. In fact, didn't Sasha just go to a Red Sox game? Hmm...

Anyway, many thanks to Aunt Sasha for baby-sitting this Saturday. Esme had a great time. And so did Mommy and Daddy.
