Pool Time!

The day has finaly came where I was able to take Arianna swimming. I was so upset that I couldn't take her last year. Her surgery was last May and had some issues with the incision so they told me NO swimming. But today....we FINALLY went swimming.





Gotta eat my hot dog first...



More milk please!!




Not liking her floaty too much.




The pool was pretty cold so that probably didn't help.

My mom was taking pictures and when I got home I saw this short video. Don't think she realized she did it either. Our pool experience was short lived...but a wonderful experience. I cherish moments like this. I can't wait for so many more!

Yeah for swimming. I'm sure it won't be long before she's begging you to go swimming everyday. What a wonderful fun memory. and...I love the fish tank!

Oh yes. I'll too jealous that you are some place that its warm enough to swim . Our spring days have been way too cold lately . We're lucky to hit the lower 50's and the rain .

Glad to see that you have one less doctor to deal with .

I can't wait to get Vaeh in the water. She just loves to kick her feet in the tub, so hopefully she'll like the pool, too! What a cutie pie in that swimming suit. I just think little girls are the absolute cutest in suits! Give her big hugs from Vaeh (& all of us, too!).

Oh, now that looks FUN!!! You and Kathy both get to enjoy such nice weather! But...I will not be feeling so jealous when it is like 150 degrees there :)

Glad you finally got to bring her in the water...what fun!

Love ya!

LOVE the swimsuit!!!
She's too cute!
I can't wait to put Isaac in the pool...I don't think he's going to like it very much though!
We had turtles and a big tank like that...I know Arianna loves watching it swim around!

Sorry for no comments...I was out of town over the weekend. Arianna is such a cutie! I love the attitude picture. I am so happy that you were able to get in the pool. My kids are starting swimming lessons in June. The fish tank is awesome....what fun!!

Hi Vanessa, thanks for the note on our Carepage. Sounds like things are going reasonably well for your daughter. She's beautiful!

I got all nostalgic looking at your photos from the heart walk. I grew up in Tucson -- moved when I was 16. I've only been back to visit a couple times, but I loved it out there. Our favorite heart surgeon moved out to Phoenix last year and I half-way thought about following him for Luke's surgeries. If his defect had been different, we might have.

Anyway, I just wanted to say hi!

She is such a cutie. I'm so glad that you got to take her swimming finally! Pretty soon that's all she's going to want to do is be in the pool.

I love the swimsuit pics...so adorable!
