It's been a long time since I've updated this blog, what with Facebook and Twitter and so forth.  But here I am, and here I go.

At the Woodland Park Zoo w/ Poppy

McKenna has started full time Kindergarten and is getting along quite well.  After our first parent-teacher conference it is official that she is very bright, very friendly, and a "true humanitarian".  She is reading short sentences and writing small words very well.  We'll have to watch her boy situation very closely as she grows up as she always seems to have some new boy writing notes to her or her obsessing over somebody new.  It should be fun.
Lilah has started preschool 2 days a week and is also progressing along quickly.   She is making many friends and is very inquisitive, always asking what the words to songs mean or why the person on the radio said this or that.  She likes to play with her sister and you can see her figuring out how to do things exactly how McKenna does them, although she ends up putting her own spin on most things.
McKenna and Lilah are both back in swimming lessons.  Lilah is still learning the basics of floating, and paddling and breathing, while McKenna is actually swimming short distances all by herself.  I'm looking forward to this summer when I will put up an above ground pool I bought from someone off craigslist.  It's 18' round by 52" deep, so they can actually practice swimming and have a lot of fun hopefully.
This past month has been the month of sickness for the NellNell clan.  We keep passing a really bad cold/flu back and forth that always seems to spin off into something else for the next person.  Right now Lilah is getting over a double ear infection and bronchitis while McKenna now has a very bad head cold (again).  Jaime is now getting back her sinus infection for the 2nd time this month.  I am, at the moment, feeling pretty good.  Although I'm a bit tired being that it is midnight on a Sunday work night.  :)
So that being said I better sign off for now.  Until next time.....

Oh yeah....go see The  (new) Muppet Show in theaters now!
