Team Up Thursday
Thursday, June 3, 2010 at 07:23AM 
It's not hard to take pics of Summer here in S. Texas. But I'd say it's pretty weird that both Megan and I chose signs of Summer to photograph when our theme this weeks was "signs". The girls got in the pool weeks ago but nothing tells us Summer is coming like the girls getting the pool itch.
Another sign that Summer is coming- school is out today! I don't know who is happier, them or me. It turned out to be a great year for both. Natalya made straight A's all year and was commended on both her reading and math TAKS tests. I surely saw her growing up in many ways this year. She actually gave me the first, "Mom, don't bother me I'm with my friends" look about a month ago. Sheesh. Vienne cried every day as we dropped her off from the beginning of school into December . Towards the end of the school year, she just came home and would say, "Momma, I said I missed you today but I didn't cry." She still wants me around. I think she'll always be my baby. She's reading now and yesterday read a sign as we were driving and said, "Momma can I really read now!"
Pics tomorrow of Vienne's dance recital. Trust me, they're cute.

Melody - perfect shots and sooo well captured - I want to jump out of my clothes and jump into the pool - I am on my way downstairs to have something similar to eat....
sooooooooo agile - so full of life both photos - fantastic. always a pleasure to pop around and get inspirations from both of you . Girls you are great!!!!
That is quite a coincidence. I am not sure that I would have even thought of that one. Both are perfect signs of summer. I could use a dip in that pool right about now.
mine is just wishful thinking -- it's just non-stop rain here in oregon:(.
Great Team Up Thursday...
Am a partner with Kerstin...and loving this
mmmm...summer all around. smores and the pool are perfect signs in my book! i love that you both interpreted it so similarly.
HAPPY LAST DAY OF SCHOOL, too! Hope you all have a great summer...
LOVE your theme - and I'm looking forward to summer (some day) - it's still 50 degrees here (high). Smores and swimming are my ALL TIME FAVORITES for summer time - nicely done team!
After seeing your 'signs', I am even more ready for summer! Isn't it amazing to watch our kids grow and succeed??? Can't wait to see dance pictures!
Amy and I did "green"

Pool photos are so much fun! It's cool how you guys are mentally on the same plane.
Here is P is for...
Yeah for signs of summer! They look great together, swimming and smores. :) My kids have been out of school 2 weeks already, it's odd how different all the school districts are about when the start and end. Great combo. Makes me want to take a dip in a pool too.
oooh how sweet melody! it's always nice to have a little one that still likes us to be around:)
that's how my little henry is, and i think/hope, will always be:)
the water looks SO inviting. we recently found out we are moving to TX (arlington area)...
crossing my fingers for a pool:):)
happy summer! xox...jenn
we just made our first trip to the pool a couple days. I must say, I'm a bit envious of your pool right in the backyard. sure can use that coolness during these sticky days! Congrats on a great year for both girls, and YAY for summer!
You both are so creative. I would have never even went in this direction for signs. Great week!
You two must be kindred souls. You are so neat together. Great summer shots. Here is out entry-a little late but yesterday was crazy!! http://www.flickr.com/photos/16671850@N02/4669721347/in/pool-1339664@N21
