We got a pool

-
We wanted to get a little pool that Jackson could sit in. We have one that's about 2 feet across that we got at the dollar store. We were looking for something a bit bigger but we wanted it to be inflatable so we could fold it up and possibly take it to the cottage. Anything bigger then 2 feet costs about $30-$40. As we were looking we found that we could get a much bigger pool for a little more then twice that much... so we bought a 12 foot pool!

The pool is 12 feet across and 2 1/2 feet deep. It has a pump and filter and is chlorinated. It's small enough that about $25 of chemicals will last us all summer. We decided to save the grass and set it up on the deck. I had no idea how long it takes to fill one of these things up.

It took like 3 hours.
We picked up a pool cover that helps heat up the water and today when we went swimming the water was 90 Fahrenheit! Very nice. Jackson loves it.

We have also uploaded more pictures to our Flicker site here.

Hey Nola!
That pool looks so cool! I'll have to look into getting one of those, although I guess I need my own house with my own yard first!
Jackson is just adorable!
Take care,
Anna

Hi All, Hope Everyone is keeping well and that life is treating everyone good. Once again its been awhile since we have written a little story. I cannot believe how fast time is going and that soon March will be over, its crazy to me. Life in the Bowering household is very good. Work is going well for John and myself. Jackson is doing GREAT. He still isn't walking but I am convinced he totally knows how to do it independently but I think he thinks..(man life is great, my mommy and daddy carry me around everywhere) He walks along the walls and furniture and climbs up and down the stairs but soon he will walking independently. Jackson is quite the talker he says ALOT of words, and they are very clear, his favourite words are bubble, cookies, mommy, dad, apple, ball, bull, puppy... that's just a few he can say more. he is also signing quite a bit. He knows more and eat, those are his favourites but he likes finished and milk as well. I'm very proud of my little boy. You may t...

Wow I can't believe how much fun I had this summer. I did lots of things, I am all tuckered out from the fun. I have been growing very fast, I'm already 9 months old. I love ice cream, chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, and mom even gave me a taste of her french fries, but shhhhhh don't tell dad. Have fun reading about our summer, hope you like the pictures. I LOVE the water and swimming and taking baths are so much fun. Well it has been awhile since John and I have done anything with this blog. We have had a busy summer so now that we are actually home, we can try to make more regular updates! Our summer was mostly spent relaxing at the cottage at Lake of the Woods. We had a fantastic time. Jackson absolutely loves the water. He did lots of swimming, went for a canoe ride, tried to help with fishing, and took walks in the sand. Almost every weekend was spent at the cottage, which was great because we have been so blessed with such great weather. We also took a trip ou...

The Twins

I've had a two hour nap since Saturday morning so I'm going to try keep this brief and too the point. On Saturday night Nola's contractions came out of nowhere. They started at about 9:20pm and by 10:30 they were 10 min apart. By the time we got to the hospital a little after 11pm they were 5 min apart. After checking her out, they rushed us in to the O.R. as if the twins were going to explode out of Nola at any second. All the doctors, nurses, anesthesiologists etc were ready and waiting.... and waiting... and waiting... After 5 hours of the twins just about being born the doctor decided that things had stalled and announced that we would be having a c-section. They kicked me out of the room, put Nola under and about 1o minutes later at about 4:05 am on January 13, Hudson John Bowering arrived in this world at 6 pounds, 13 ounces. And it was only 60 seconds after that that Oliver Finn Bowering made his entrance at 6 pounds 3 ounces (both were 21 inches long). I go...
