Adiah wanted a picture of the water ripples.
Trying to stay warm.


The Cunningham house has been a little bit boring for the past week with two exceptions, fireworks at the bay and our new little pool. Well, almost fireworks. Friday night we went out to CC Bay to watch the fireworks that were eventually cancelled due to high winds. Go figure, it was windy in Corpus Christi. Well, we had fun anyway. We sat on the cement steps at the water while the girls ran around for a bit and then snuggled and talked the rest of the time. I can get a lot more info from Adiah when it's one on one. It's nice to be reminded of how sweet they are and how fast they are truly growing. We don't spend time like that together enough anymore. Everyday seems so rushed and hectic. But, to tell you the truth I don't know what we are doing to make it so hectic. Life is pretty easy when I really think about it but I think the constant lessons and reminders that fill our days seem to make them seem more difficult. Consistency, consistency, consistency. :0)

We have been talking about this pool for so long and finally Saturday we went and bought it. No it's not huge or deep but it's wet and I can float in it. Yea!!! The girls are so excited! Jason has spent the last two nights getting it ready to use. I was fortunate enough to get to empty the forty pound bags of salt into it today. Ok, I have no upper body strength and it was torture but, well worth it. Hopefully, it will be in working order and ready for some splashing by tomorrow night.

Ava has her last soccer game tomorrow night. This season has been a lot of fun for her and I am sad that it is over. Saturday she will get her trophy and that is something she is really looking forward to. I don't know what it is about those little gold trophies but she really loves them. She has been known to sleep with them at times.

Adiah's arm is appears to be healing well. She is still not able to straighten it all the way but it gets a little straighter everyday. She is not enjoying the lack of activity but I don't think it will bother her too much once she is able to jump into the pool and swim. That is definitely something she can do.
