It is a beautiful day today! Sunny, 60's, and not a cloud in the sky. We just came in from playing outside. Colored on the driveway with sidewalk chalk, played ball, and Alina practiced riding her bike. I'm trying to teach her to keep her balance by keeping her training wheels quiet. She gets the idea but it will take some more work.

We signed Alina up for swimming lessons today. They start March 3rd. She is so excited. She is such a water baby. We thought it would be right up her alley. Of course to celebrate, we went out to find a new swim suit. She picked out a really cute one. It is blue, purple, and white...kind of looks like colorful tiger stripes. I didn't care for it much on the hanger, but she insisted. She tried it on and it is TOO cute! She was right. She loves being right! :)

Grandma is not doing well. (My Grandma, not Alina's) She is 96 and I think it is just a matter of time before she passes. I will miss her very much, but I will be glad when she doesn't have to suffer so much. We will have to plan a trip home soon. Poor Dad is just exhausted making sure he gets everything done for her that she needs done.
