Spring Break-Seattle Style

We had a great Spring Break! Andrew and I, plus mom and Michelle and John and Reganne and Zoe all headed north to Seattle! We stayed two nights in Lynnwood, Washington. On Wednesday we rode the ferry to Whidbey Island! WOW! The kids loved the ride so much! (I loved that it was only 30 mins)! We toured the cutest little shops, had a delicious lunch and returned to the hotel just in time to swim. Overall it was a wonderful trip and I feel so blessed that Andrew gets quality time with his cousins!!! (Oh and I was also introduced to the lovely American Girl Doll store) I can only say wow. Very glad I don't have a girl!

It's Been Awhile... A Long While...

I realize that my blogging abilities are lacking. It's been so long since my last blog. I really do have the best intentions, but life tends to get in the way. For now I will give just quick updates to life in the Swires' Family....
1) Andrew continues to be an incredibly TALKATIVE 2.5 year old. People are constantly commenting on how much he talks and yes he literally talks all the time and has an extensive vocabulary! (I have no idea where he gets that from)
2) I love my job and enjoyed a trip with the whole team to San Jose! The highlight was getting a chance to spend time with my dearest friend and her new little baby girl! What a blessing!
3) I am learning that there are many similiarities between parenting a toddler and a 60+ year old. WOW... Never imagined I would be at this spot. So frustrating in so many ways. It is challenging me to grow in so many ways.
4) Andrew LOVES the snow as much as his mommy! It brightens my heart! He runs to the window to look for snow and when it is there, he yells and yells!
5) I really hope to make these blog posts more frequent. Gotta not let life take over too much!
