Yikes! I've neglected the blog. I've neglected other blogs. I've been sucked into the Instagram vortex. It's so... instant! and lovely.
Meanwhile, I've missed all the blogs I so love to read and follow yet... yet... I've been consciously trying to spend more day light hours with the kiddo. And trying to enjoy summer. Going to work is like wading through mud lately. Hard to get through the day without wanting to just be outside and enjoy the sun and summer freedom.
I haven't even picked up my Pentax but I did take a few shots of Keira. Lately, I catch glimpses of her that remind me that she isn't a baby anymore. There are moments when her face is serious and she's deep in thought. Her face is longer and losing some more of that lovely baby fat in her cheeks. She's also getting taller (though still not as tall as her best friends). Sigh. Look at that face. I love that she's growing but I also sometimes want to squeeze her back into age 5.
A few weeks ago, we bit the bullet and bought a pool. Not some fancy, humungous in-ground pool. Just a regular, smallish above ground one. We decided on a cedar wood pool and it's lovely! Since this is Quebec and summer days are short, we also got a thermo pump so that the water stays warm. And oh how we've been loving it! Keira even wants to swim before heading out to summer day camp in the mornings. Someone is definitely happy! I love being with her in there, in the evenings and then coming back in and relaxing. It also kicks my occasional bouts of insomnia in the butt! ah...
