January/February/March 2012

Although my New Years resolution was to catch up on the blog and keep it updated, I failed miserably. You would think that I would have a lot to show for January, February, & March, lots of things that were keeping me from blogging, but you would be wrong! I think we hibernated most of the winter.

Nate built his latest and greatest Lego model of Robbie House.

Kendall continued to play "Where's Kendall?" in her bed nightly.

And then it got really warm in March. Unseasonably warm in the high 80s. Which was fun for about a minute. But it was really interesting to see our world in bloom so early - heck, it was still winter and the grass was turning green.

Kendall started to picked out her own clothes as well, leading to some outfits rather reminiscent of Punky Brewster.

And through it all, Kendall kept up with her swimming. Somewhere in this time frame Kendall took a good turn at swimming and actually started to enjoy herself again. She likes to participate with the class, to a point, and swims on her own the whole class (with the help of her trusty backpack). We are working on moving her into the big kid class without momma over the summer. Momma is looking forward to not having to jump into the pool ever Saturday morning as she has for the past 2 years.

Here is some video of our spinning swimmer (sorry for the lens cleaning partway through). A few weeks ago the swim teacher asked one of the older girls from synchronized swimming to come over and show Kendall a few moves, now that is all she does in the pool.

The last bit of news for this time frame was that we had a big family announcement. We found out back in November, and told the immediate family over Christmas, but in January it was time to announce that we were expecting another Greaney in August. In March, we were lucky enough to find out that the new baby will be another girl. Kendall will be a big sister to a little sister sometime around August 1st! We are all super excited to expand our family.

I'm using this as an excuse to my lack of blogging - I'm a tired momma these days gestating and running after this crazy Kendall!
