Elsie's First Swim Lesson












































I don't know if it was more entertaining seeing Elsie's chubby belly in her swim suit or seeing David clapping along to "we're going to the pool today, pool today, pool today..." Then again, I also got to see Elsie learn to fall into the pool, kick her legs, and float on her back and David learn the "pancake song," "ring around the ocean," and "all the little fishes..." (while blowing bubbles.) He looks forward to downloading these numbers onto his Ipod.

Just a Swingin'

While the Cats Were Away....





Beth and David spent three nights away from Elsie when they went to New York to attend the CCCCs conference. It was very hard to leave their little girl and extremely disappointing to spend their first night away stuck in Cincinnati with airline frustrations. Luckily, Elsie was happy at home being spoiled by Grammy Pat and Aunt Andrea for two nights and then GranAnn and Pop Roy for one. Elsie did squeal with delight when Mom and Dad returned and enjoyed celebrating Dad's 35th birthday! In his wise old age, David believes Elsie has inherited his good looks, charm, and sense of humor; Beth hopes she has inherited her humility.
