Todays picture of the day is of Jacob at the pool, sorta. I’m not sure what Jacob is doing climbing out of the pool in the shot, but it seemed like a fun image to use for today’s picture of the day. He’s seems to really enjoy having lessons every day and its improving his swimming.

Today we headed out to pick up Violets outfits and shoes for her dance class. She was so very excited, it was next to impossible to get her to stand still for the picture.

Today the kids and I headed to the Lakeshore Mardi Gras, for some rides and fun. There weren’t many rides, but the kids really enjoyed it. While there we saw Nana and Papa, Violet even roped Papa to go on a ride with her.
POD: Hair cut
After talking about it for what feels like weeks, we finally took Jacob to get his hair cut. We decided to try a new place, and we were rewarded with a hair dresser who was patient and engaging with Jacob. What impressed me was that the people at a fancy hair salon was better at dealing with …
