We took a few pictures around New Year's Day so we could see if the shrubs looked any bigger than they were in the fall when we planted them. They have grown!

Swimming in December

After Christmas, we heated up the pool for a few days and the boys swam in it a good bit. Jay and I enjoyed the hot tub but went in the pool a bit, too. Jay actually got in the pool for several hours working on cleaning off the tile. The calcium deposits from the stone grow on the tiles and have to be scraped off with muriatic acid and a scraper. Jay was probably in the pool more than anyone!
