Swimming, Whirling, Fishing

Toward the end of the summer we went to visit my parents in B'ham (partly to escape the wood floor refinishing going on at our house--more on that later.) The most exciting feature of this trip was staying at their new house for the first time. Earlier this summer they sold their condo in S. FL (finally! thank you to everyone who prayed for that) and bought this lovely home in a neighborhood they've had their eye on since moving to Birmingham almost two years ago. I wish I could remember Kate's funny comment about how every house they live is different on the outside but the same on the inside--meaning their belongings appear in each place. Sure enough, all those familiar toys were out and ready for playing when we got there. I'm not sure where we spent more time: over at the pool, in the back yard, or down by the lake, but a great time was had by all.
