New shoes & a day at the pool

I think I've gone blogger crazy! Well, really, dropshots has been down and now that its back up I want to take full advantage of it!

Here are some picts of Sydney at the Gardner Aquatic Center. Its a pretty cool pool! Maddie & Jackie were there with us, but all the pictures of the 2 girls together had one of us mom's in it also, and neither of us were inclined to be exposed in our suites to the online world yet!

Sydney needed to up-size her shoes, and I'm pleased to see that her skinny heal has fattened up since our last shoe shopping trip. Last time we had to buy special shoes at Stride Rite for $60 since her little heal was so skinny & all other shoes fell right off. This time we were able to get her a cool pair of Nike's as well as some super cute, hot-pink, suede, Timberland boots for this fall for the same price!!! She measured at a 5 1/2, so we bought her 6 1/2 so she has some room to grow.

Here's Jeff looking thrilled while Sydney is running wild around the store grabbing all the shoes w/ cartoon characters on them.

It was a hot day, so the promise of some ice water was enough to get her settled into his lap just long enough to put the new shoes on. They really do make her run faster & jump higher, just ask her! She'll be running mock-5 around you in no time-taking all the shoes off the shelves & running into grown-ups everywhere! Good times.
