First swim at Foss

Finally got both kids back into swimming lessons. First lesson (7:30 am on Saturday morning!) was great. Looking forward to them both learning to love the water even more!  My pictures are all from Lillian's lesson because Simon was way across the pool and the pictures were blurry. 

Simon's Graduation to a Twin Bed

Long overdue, we have finally gotten our 5.5 year old kindergartener out of his toddler bed and into a twin. We took some time last week to go to IKEA and got Simon a new dresser and a new BUNK BED! It's on the shorter side for a bunk, about 3.5 feet off the ground, but it fits in his room perfectly and he adores it. There is a dedicated lego playing space underneath instead of another bed. He also has a new dresser and more space in general with the new configuration.

Growing, growing, growing!

Past time for a larger mattress!

Simon and Alan built the bed together.

It's built!

It works! Sleeping the first night.

Doesn't he look little.

Christmas Dinner at Colleen and Joe's

We spent Christmas Dinner at Colleen's house with all of the family. Gaga and Papa, Michael and Lisa, Amy and Sarah, Colleen and Joe and we also got to see Grandpa Bart! And all of Joe's family, including Abby and Logan, Joe's niece and nephew. It was a great time!

Simon's First Star Wars Viewing

Over Christmas Break Simon watched Star Wars for the first time. It was his first made-for-adults movie that he's watched and he loved it. He was fine for all the fighting, he was only stressed during the trash compacter scene. He got threw it and loved it. Alan and Simon watched it again later in the week and have been tossing back and forth lines from the movie since.

Random photos from December.

Some random photos from December. Love that first one of Simon, he looks like a teenager. In the last couple Simon was reading a book to Lillian.

Learning how to play Connect 4

Simon is trying to teach Lillian connect 4, and she does not like the rule that he can block her...
