My family LOVES swimming

My family has had a pool ever since I can remember; it is sort of a staple for us. Most summers, all I can remember is just swimming all day. So I HAD to introduce Ethan early so he would fit in!! We have a pool at our apartment here, and he "swam" a lot last year. But I don't think it really counts, because he was just floating around. He loved the pool this year. I couldn't get him to wear water wings, but he kept inching down the stairs into the water and trying to swim with his cousins. I had to keep a really close eye on him because he was being so adventurous:) We stayed in the pool for 2 hours! I think it was a hit.

I have been dying for swimsuit season this year. My friend, Andrea, told me about this great website that sells modest swimwear: http://www.modbecatalog.com/swimwear?gclid=CKTqk6ThyJoCFUpM5QodIj5v2w

I like wearing tankini's, but I have a hard time finding them long enough. This top is super long, and goes clear down to my hips! I got the top on clearance for $18....not bad.

I am happy to be home and glad for some visitors this week. I will miss my family. They are so loving and self-less, and all make me want to be a better person. Ethan got so attached to his cousins, aunts and uncles, and grandparents. I felt so bad bringing him home to our tiny apartment! But he will adjust:)
