A Couple of Firsts at Evans Pool

Yesterday the Jenkins family marked a couple of firsts over at the Green Lake pool. The first first was that Reese took her first swimming lesson without me in the water. The instructor handled her. She got an earful from Reese, no doubt, but all things considered Reese did quite well.

The second first was that Finn took his first swimming lesson. The powers that be at Evans let Jonathan swim around with Reese, so both kids were in the pool at the same time. Finn took it mellow, as he does most other things.

A few pics:

Not the same as the bath tub at home ...

Reese and Cousin Jon.

Good ol' American fun.

Not bad for his first time in the water.

Reese understood the concept of kicking this time.

Pics of the Woodlawn House

Lots of prospective renters have inquired whether we have any additional pics of the abode. Yes we do, and here they are:

A view from the street.

The front porch. Not a bad place to hang in the summertime.

This is the living room. The front door is just visible on the left.

The dining room. It flows directly from the living room which, as this picture goes, is directly at the right.

The kitchen -- not huge, but great for day-to-day bartop living. The guy who took this pic was standing in the dining room.

This is the men's dressing room, which is connected to the master bedroom. For whatever reason, I cannot find a pic of the master bedroom, one of four rooms in the master suite.

This is the second dressing room in the master suite. It isn't this blurry in real life.

The bath in the master bath. There's also his/her vanities and a walk-in shower. Truly magazine-worthy.

This is one of the offices. There is another, located in the master suite, that can also serve as a nursery.

This is the downstairs kitchen. This is part of a downstairs apartment (also has a bathroom, bedroom and living room).

This is the downstairs bedroom, the smallest of the bedrooms.

This is a few from the backyard. That grass is Dreamturf, so it requires no maintenance.
