I was surfing the web when Linda came in and said, "You have to see this, it's so cute!" I followed her into the family room and realized what was happening -- Tomas was in the pool for the first time ever! I ran back and got my camera.

Tomas didn't seem too sure about all this. He didn't start to complain until after I'd shot a whole bunch of pictures. The air was starting to get cool and that probably made him uncomfortable too!

TB's nephew Alex is spending the week with us. He's a great kid and we've been having fun. I think that Alex and Kristin in particular are enjoying themselves. At 13 and 12, they are half-kid and half-teen.

I couldn't get a single serious picture of Kristin. I think she'd be great on stage. She can do accents and all kinds of faces!

TB's got more pictures on his photoblog
