I had the realization today, again, that I am a mom. I took Ethan to the pool today with my friends Lauren and her boy Aidan and Marie and her girl Naomi. On my way over to meet them it occurred to me that this was the first of probably THOUSANDS of trips to the pool that I will make with my children over the next 15 years. Having to get Ethan all ready and put sunscreen on him made me realize that I am moving on to be a mother of older children, not just babies and that is crazy. Exciting though. My mother's mom took them to the beach nearly everyday during the summer, my mom took us to the pool almost everyday (sometimes twice a day!) and I can't imagine doing anything different. Maybe I am still a kid at heart but I LOVE the pool. Nothing makes summer more enjoyable that going to the pool and now that I have Ethan I have a good excuse to go play in the water. Maybe that's what made me have that realization of motherhood today. Ha, funny that I associate motherhood with pool trips, but it makes sense to me!

LOVING the fountain
He walked into the pool holding my hand but then he didn't want to hold still-he just wanted to go on his stomach! Yay!! I have a little fish!
Ethan and Aidan are twinners! Lauren and I have the same great taste and just happened to buy them the same outfit.
