Taylor the fish

We had a pretty low-key weekend at the Famous Amys house, and I’m totally fine with that. In fact, we were thrilled to be total bums for the past few days. All of the sudden August snuck up on us and summer is almost over, which means we have a countdown running on our time left at the swimming pool this season. I cannot express enough what a blessing the pool has been for us this year. Our normal daily routine follows something like this – Wake up, work out, do laundry, take a nap and then hit the pool. Yep, GTL - Gym, Tan, Laundry. Meaning I have more in common with those Jersey Shore morons than I’d like to admit.

And Taylor has just progressed light-years in the water the past few months. When we first started going in June, she wouldn’t release her kung-fu grip on me the entire time we were there. And now she’s jumping, swimming and pretty much invincible with those water wings on.

And when she’s tired of performing, she’ll stomp onto the concrete and announce, I need a break! Which is code for snack-attack time.

Yep, we’re loving life at the pool. And if you’re wondering why my posts are few and far between this next month, it’s because we are too busy soaking up this summer’s final rays and exhausting our daughter in the water. And also training for the upcoming half-marathon and washing clothes. GTL, baby. G. T. L.
