here is danny at swimming lessons. as you’ll note, he is not in the pool. and why is because i can’t really take his picture and him be in the pool at the same time. see how that works? different agencies would have some things to say about that, i feel. what with him being utterly unable to swim and all that. so, you’ll not see him swimming here, but you will see him in his swimming trunks holding a truck, with a pool behind him. we have but one swimming lesson left, on tomorrow. he seems mostly on board with the whole swimming idea….mostly. though some days not really at all. but some days, he’ll cooperate by jumping off the side, letting me put his head under (right after i put mine under, of course, getting a mane full of luxurious chlorine), and going down the slide, right into the water. wheeeee.

    now THAT is motherly devotion - dipping your carefully groomed and scented hair into chlorine takes a lot of chutzpah.

    Again with your adorable child. Again with Greg outing your “product.”
    Again with Danyelle saying “chutzpah.” Or maybe not “again,” but she definitely needs to say it more often, as it perfectly describes both you and Danny. I’ll throw in some Joey just to complete the Rutledge Trio of Chutzpah.

    Captain Happytrunks. Indeed!

    And there you go…one more reason to make another trip to Bama! He just has to jump in his Uncle Jack and Aunt Linda’s pool. We will make sure that we put Jesse on lifeguard duty that day. He is the quickest one out of all of us Bamaites - something to do with age.

    heather - does jesse lifeguard from the roof? i’m gonna bet he doesn’t after whatever you did to him last time he was up there.

    yea, we kind of insist he guards from ground level now. it seems as if it would be safer. of course, it does not make as cool of a MySpace video as the rooftop guarding.
