Happy Valentine's Day!

On to the next chapter

As the sun sets on this chapter of our lives we see how bittersweet it is. The end and a beginning. We're ready to move because we know it's what is right for our family and we know that this physical location wasn't the best fit for us, yet it's very challenging to walk away from so many of the wonderful people we have met here. Tears were shed saying goodbye to many wonderful friends tonight and over the past while. We will miss this time in our lives and in Nico's young life. She went from a squirmy little worm to a squirmy, confident, adventurous, charming, big worm in this house over the past 1.5 years. Rolling over, sitting up, crawling, and walking all seem so far away now. She's jumping, swimming, and talking now!

The first morning we officially wake up as residents of our new and permanent home will be Diana's 35th birthday! Exciting times ahead!

Little fish

We sure are going to miss our swim lessons with Colleen!

The 5 Santas of 2013

Poor Santa, it just wasn't his year. Maybe next. 

Nico diving for a toy Dec 2013

Here's Nico starting to dive for toys underwater. She has no problem getting her face wet and as you can see dives right in herself (always under supervision, don't worry Mom!). She likes to pick up the toy, throw it back in herself, and dive again - over and over. She's a fish!

Nico blowing bubbles Dec 2013

We both love swimming lessons with Ms Colleen! Here Nico is learning to blow bubbles in the fish, she can certainly blow bubbles and is super comfortable in the water but here she is sharing and getting Colleen to blow bubbles too, kissing the fish, and saying "blow bubbles". Cute :)
