Peaceful Easy Feeling

This blog post is quite overdue; after a peaceful mostly relaxing weekend this week has been quite full. 

Friday night I had a great time going out with a few ladies from my street.  It is really good to get to know our neighbors better because we had such a great neighborhood in Atlanta we are hoping for the same here.  What we did forget is that takes time and effort to build.  I know this sounds obvious; but making friends is work! 

Ed let B and I sleep in a bit on Saturday while he and C watched TV then we took probably our last trip to the pool for the season.  I don't know if I ever mentioned that our neighborhood pool is at the "Elks Club" and now Ed is a Elk.  Yep you read that right....most folks join for the pool as we did.  It has been a blast and finally C is getting used to the water and actually loves it.  By the time we left Saturday they both were sliding down the slide to Ed catching them in the water.  It was lots of fun to watch.


B enjoying his first "Push Up" shortly after this photo the whole thing fell out of the container onto the groud.  Not a good scene!

C's favorite food: Mexican!

Monday night we kept the fun rolling with a trip to see our local baseball team "The Salem Red Sox".  Some friends of ours had a box seat for the evening so we had fun adding to the numbers there and obviously enjoying some cotton candy....note the blue tongues.




In parting news....we have babies!!!  Baby koi that is.  The funny thing about this koi pond is #1 I would have never asked for a koi pond; who wants another danger in your yard with two little ones and #2 I don't really like fish and #3 the second week we lived in our house Abbie dog made this her swimming pool and we were all convinced the fish were dead.  So these fish have 3 strikes against them and yet they have reproduced.  We have gone from having 3 koi to now having 12!!!!  This picture isn't the greatest but it does give you an idea of our other pets' habitat!
