Maya's about to have a break from daycare, and is a week into a new swim class. For those jonesing for a few fresh pics, here she is modeling her awesome pink cowgirl boots. Rock on.

This morning was the first swim lesson for Maya at our neighborhood pool. A healthy crowd, an overwrought sense of Olympics fever, and a generally excited Maya (less so when she actually got into the pool). But just as things were beginning to gel, the recent hot weather that left last night devolved into thunder and unseen lightning. "Everyone out of the pool!" End o' lesson. Thankfully this class goes on for the next two weeks. And the forecast indicates actual highs in the 70s over the next few days with no hint of hailstorms. Then hot by week's end. As things get rolling, I'll take some more pics. Hope this taste is cool to the touch nonetheless. Rock on.
