learning to jump…

I’m starting my edits as far back as 2007, though I will probably jump around depending on my mood. That was the year we hosted a Black and White Martini Party for Labor Day. It was also the same party that I met some of my fellow bloggers ( back when I had a blog on a Russian blogging service). I always love meeting with people I know well online- it’s so much fun.
The two girls arrived throughout the day, one with her hubby, another with her new baby and it was instantly pool time.
This was also the week I got my first DSLR, so I was just learning to use it.

Being the pro pool jumper ( lol jk), I tried to get the shyest one, Nat, to jump with me. After a few attempts to literally walk into the pool by her, she finally got the “run and jump” method.

After the pool , we grabbed some food with mandatory around the table self portraits Again, you can tell who was a bit more shy and who was all about having fun Note: Nat did warm up towards the end and turned into quite a party girl

Case in point: Nat making my hubby into a devil, with his help of course

I have 4 more days of the party to edit, so more pictures coming up.
