the cool of the pool

i love this picture of my boy and me! he looks so old in this pic!

it was 101 degrees today (YUK)! lincoln and i set up our little pool and he spent at least and hour in it. this is a really cute pic of him, even though his belly's all dirty.

this is Lexi's first bathing suit. i think it's pretty dang cute! she looooved splashing in the pool, but of course i couldn't get any pics of that because i was trying to keep her from diving in to the water.

cute girl.

we've finally decided for sure what lincoln is going to be doing in the fall as far as school goes. he will be 5 on august 24, so technically he could start kindergarten. we made the decision that he wasn't quite ready to start kindergarten and, since making that decision, have been kind of stumped about what he will do. he'll be too old to go to pre-k at a public school, since he'll be 5 before sept 1. and we feel like he needs to be going to school full-time instead of yet another tues/thurs school... so we have enrolled him into a private kindergarten at a church, in which he will be one of only about 15 students. i was told by the secretary at the school that there will be several other kids there with late summer birthdays, who will be in the private kindergarten for the same reason as lincoln. even though free school would be much betterm, i'm pretty excited about it. lincoln is not quite sure how to feel about going to school 5 days a week, but i'm sure he'll love it in no time.
lexi is still not saying anything... everything is da-dee. of course, scott thinks she's saying "daddy", but i'm not quite convinced. EVERYTHING is "da-dee".
