November 2024 - Princess Audrey

November was a blur of work travel for Mom.  I had 15 flights in 12 days.  I laughed that Nathan wanted to FaceTime with me as Spiderman while I was gone. 



Alexa and I went on a date to see the new Wicked movie.  Now she is listening to the album on repeat.  I remember doing the same thing with the Broadway music in high school.


Here are some little moments of Kyle reading to the kids. Audrey brings him books all day and I love it.





We had our beloved Aunt June over for dinner with Aaron Andrews.  It was so wonderful to see them both!



Princess Audrey turned 2 and we celebrated with lemon blueberry cake, dress ups, and a new baby doll.  We ate mac and cheese for dinner and played flashlight hide and seek for her party.

The boys are official super heroes.


Richard and Megan came to visit the weekend before Thanksgiving.  It was fun to see them and have time for the cousins to play together.  

We hosted for Thanksgiving.  Marmie and Grandpa Swingle came up and Peggy and Paul, Emily and Jered, and Craig and Chelsea all came over to eat delicious food together.

Scott Swingle, when he saw that it was raining (something he never sees in Nevada): Mom! It’s leaking outside! What do we do?!
Tad, on Thanksgiving: This Turkey tastes like really good chicken.

December 2024 - Christmas Fun

We were so happy to have Marmie and Grandpa fly out for the Swingle Christmas party.  Emily is the best party planner of all time and had really fun games, prizes, and yummy treats despite her whole family being sick.  Craig and Chelsea gave us a fun Christmas lantern aquarium pass for Christmas and it was amazing!  They had entire habitats full of lantern animals from all over the world.    Tyler and Alexa had their violin Christmas recital at a local care facility, which was such a great idea on their teacher's part.  Sadly, I had to join via FaceTime because I was out of town.  But they did great! We were excited to hear Ian Beagley play viola on Temple Square.  He and Alexa also put together another amazing family recital.  It gets better every year!  Ian played viola; Alexa played violin and sang; Tyler played violin; and Tad, Liam, Lincoln, and Sawyer played the piano.   One of my best friends from high school, Katie Cutr...

June 2024 - Cincinnati Sweeny Reunion & Outbuilding Renters

We had tons of fun at the Sweeny family reunion just outside Cincinnati.  We found some good flight deals so the kids were excited we didn't have to drive haha.  The house we stayed in had an indoor basketball court, outdoor sand volleyball court, a pool, and lots of space for games.  We had a great time.  We flew in early so we spent one night at Grandma and Grandpa Sweeny's house.  It was the first time our 3 youngest have been to their house so that was fun.  We saw lots of baby bunnies running all around their neighborhood, and I was grateful to stop at Yellowwood to see Uncle Ben's grave and Carolyn Guss's house. Nathan entertaining himself during our layover One of the days we hiked Hocking Hills and it was other-worldly.  So beautiful. Nathan was obsessed with Anne and only wanted to hike with her :) We also spent one afternoon at a local science museum It was so nice to have everyone together.  It's been 6 years since I've seen Adam & ...

Good news!

I'm excited to announce that we went to the doctor yesterday for another ultrasound and I now have all my privileges reinstated!! Tear is healed and baby looks good, so we are very grateful.  As promised, I took Alexa to the park to celebrate.  We went swinging and ran around looking for flowers (dandelions). She has to stop and touch every flower she finds :). She insisted that her puppy come along. Maybe because she's a lazy bum and wanted to use him as a pillow!! We didn't get any really good ultrasound pictures from the tech (I should have made special requests!), but we saw lots of baby!  This was the ultrasound (20 weeks) where they check every little thing developing - every section of the brain, spine, chambers of the heart, kidneys, diaphragm, fingers, toes, blood flow, placenta, cord, measurements of head and waist (baby is 4 days bigger than the due date), etc. etc.  It's so fascinating to see all of that already developed and so teeny tiny...
