What we've been up to

I have been guilty of blog neglect! It's not that life has been any busier, per say, as life around here is always a bit crazy! I will do my best to catch up...

After monster truck weekend, we had the annual instrasquad swim meet here at the rec center. This is the only intrasquad meet that is USA sanctioned, so the times actually count but the kids still get to pick their events rather than the coaches picking. It is also in the afternoon, so they actually get a full night's sleep. We all really look forward to this one. I was able to get a sub for my RE class so I could go Sunday afternoon, and Austin helped officiate. Our swimmers swam very well and learned a lot too (we had a couple of DQs!). They were happy to have a chance to improve their times without getting up super early and driving out of town!

Then when we got home to enjoy some Super Bowl fare with Pawpaw and Manah (though we didn't actually watch the game because we just weren't interested). Gloria promptly came down with the flu. :/ We all had the shots and some of us had a day of fever and feeling icky last week. But she was the only one who came down with the full blown version, so it was a tough week for her. But she is recovered now and trying to build back up strength for the Spring Champs meets coming up in a couple of weeks!

Other things...
Pawpaw snuggles

 She is trying to follow in Anastasia's footsteps as a climber. this wall is about 8 feet tall, and she did it all by herself several times!

My (slightly worried) perspective

 Anastasia and Cecilia are such sweet buddies!

 

 Getting ready for Valentine's day
