Friday January 17

Today the kiddos only had half day.

Dad had to go to work....which was a bummer.

We have been able to hang together for the last 11 days, and I kind of like having him around!

So I got the kids off to school.

Then I ran 5 miles on the treadmill...I would have gone outside, but I have not acclimated to the cold yet ;)

Then my ministering sisters came over and hung out with me for a while.

Cassi came home with some friends and made some lunch.

Elsie came home and we got her ready for her first swim lessons with aquability!

I knew she was nervous......not knowing what to expect.

I was nervous too, but didn't want her to know that :)

She was awesome!!!

I tried to play it cool like I wasn't watching her.

At one point at the very beginning I thought that they weren't gonna be able to get her to do anything.

But man, they are magicians!!!

Before long her instructor had her out in the water on a noodle.

She had her blowing bubbles in the water and tipping her head to put her ears in the water.

Kicking hard and being such a good sport!

I was so proud of her!

It was a 30 minute class and they accomplished so much!

I can not wait to see what happens with this!!!!

I told her that she needs to try something new and scary every time she goes and then she will be able to swim, maybe by summer time!!!!

So cool! I am so excited for her and this opportunity!!!!

Porter had half day too, but he went to his friend, Eli's house after school.

He stayed there until about 8.

He had a lot of fun.

I started feeling really lousy this afternoon into the evening.

I am gonna go to the doc tomorrow for the walk in clinic.

I have been trying to fight off sinus stuff.

But since coming home, I feel like my ears are swimming (muffled and full feeling) and my sinuses are pretty tender.

Dang it!!!!

By I have been having full body aches this evening.

So I am gonna go put myself to bed and hopefully feel better in the morning!

Cass is still out with friends, but she should be home soon.
