I just though this was a pretty view behind the pool

While Julia was at school, Ella and I grabbed a bite to eat at the Jamaican Blue restaurant, in our neighborhoods community center, and then met our Aussie neighbors for a dip in the pool.  We had a great day together!  I think the best part of this experience for me, is that I get to be more of an active and present parent in the girls daily lives.  I loved my job but this has definitely been a blessing to get this special time with my girls!!
