pool pals

When Todd and I set out to buy the home we wanted to raise our children in, a pool was not on my MUST HAVE list. A pool was not really on my MAYBE list, as I knew the amount of work they take to maintain and I knew we liked going to the shore. But, we bought a house with a pool. A pool that was not well taken care of, needed a heater, and needed a makeover. We renovated the pool this past month. It was not a fun or cheap project but the pool became worth its weight in maintance, and worth its cost in renovations.
We love to entertain, so entertaining around the pool is always fun, but nothing will compare to the other day when we took Chase and Ryder into the pool for the very first time. Dressed in their adorable bathing suits and set up in the numerous floatation devices we bought them, our boys squealed with delight as we pushed them and splashed them around the pool. Smiles wider than faces, and laughter which bounced off the waves, they had the time of their lives. Perhaps they are water babies and inherited the Tovsky swimming trait, because it is clear the Citrenbaum's do not excel in that area.
