Slide, Slide, Slide!

All summer long John Michael has been pointing to the slide at our pool.  I usually have my hands too full to let him go down AND go catch him so I never have let him try.  Well, this time around we had back-up...grandparents!  Gamps held Matthew and Gaga took pictures so that Jordan and I could help him with the slide.   He loved it!

We had to wait for the bigger kids to clear out, but he was oh-so excited to try!



A lot of anticipation going up the slide for his big shot!



Jordan helped him up the slide and I caught him!



The look on his face was so funny as he came flying down the slide.  Just in the last few weeks he's gotten a lot more adventurous as far as trying new things and not being afraid.  He's growing up so fast!



A big family hug of congratulations (minus Matthew!) and to comfort him just a little bit too!



Matthew looks very uncertain of all of this!



A few times he would cry when we got to the top of the stairs, but he loved it when he went down!



This picture says it all:  He had a blast!  It's so fun watching him explore and learn new things!

JM sure looked like he enjoyed the slide. It is so nice to have family come visit.

Those are some PRECIOUS pictures. The one of you and Jordan hugging JM should go in a huge 8x10 frame!!! Looking at it will make any bad day a thousand times better.

He LOVED the slide... minus the "one time", where I tried to go down with him, and he was free-floating for a few seconds. :-)

How much did Jordan pay you to not put "the" picture on the blog?? HA!! It was so much fun watching JM be adventurous this week. And lets not forget Matthew and how fast he is growing up. It was a wonderful week and we are already in serious grandson withdrawal!
