PICTURES OF THE NEW POOL

We're so excited that the pool is finally done! Although, we think Oliver is a little more excited than we are. He loves going in the pool every day and particularly enjoys the waterfalls. Next time I'll get some good photos of Oliver swimming.

THE POOL TAKES SHAPE!

The gunite was shot on Friday... looking good! Contractor says we'll be swimming by this time next month!

STEEL FRAMING COMPLETE ON THE POOL

Next step... the gunite on Friday!

POOL PROGRESS, PART 1 -- THE WELCOME COMMITTEE

They broke ground on the pool today, and Oliver was SO excited when all the trucks and tractors showed up on the street this morning, that he jumped into his motorized car to race down the front lawn to greet them... all the while yelping with excitement. I managed to get a couple pictures of that before I had to run down the hill after him. Even better was when they rolled up the driveway before our very eyes! "If I'm dreaming, DON'T wake me!"

POOL PART 2 -- IF I'M DREAMING, DON'T WAKE ME.

Once the big welcome party was complete, Mommy and Oliver watched as they broke ground on the pool.... as you can see it was VERY exciting. Who needs a pool? Can't these guys just come and play every day with their toys?

OUR SATURDAY

Well, we've had a VERY exciting day today. First, Oliver and Daddy mowed the lawn, then the pool was framed out in the backyard (they start digging next week), and finally Oliver apparently decided to take his diaper off for his nap. He thought it was hilarious... note the huge "wet spot" on his sheet underneath the diaper as well as on his t-shirt. Hmmmmm.... is this a new hobby?
