Swimming Lessons

It's that time of year again, and the Nordby kids started swimming lessons on Saturday. Bren and Daddy went first at 8:00!

She did a great job, even trying a little backfloating at the end. She was really good at jumping in!

Brody, waiting his turn.

Brody's class is pretty big this time.

Brody and Everett. The one on the right is the oldest. My mom says it's like looking at Nate and Ross!

Brody did everything he was supposed to do - good job!

Bayler was along for the ride.

Breakfast at Weggy's after swimming. An exciting game of golf!

Bayler

Bayler hasn't been in many pictures lately - too little for the holiday hullabaloo. He got to spend a day with Grandma this week and get a few new pictures. He is really enjoying his new seat that he got for Christmas.

OUCH

Brody has had some rough times the past few weeks. A few black eyes last week, a fall up the stairs (yes, up) tonight which left him with a bloody nose and a real doozy today. He managed to get a cornea abrasion, basically a scratch on his eye. The eye doctor was impressed with the size of it! We have drops for pain and to prevent infection and he should be back to normal next week. I thinking the kid could use a helmet and some safety glasses:)

We had a wonderful Christmas weekend. Started out Christmas Eve morning at Grammy Tammy's. After a quick nap we were off to church in Lake Crystal (with Justin Morneau) and presents at Taid's. Christmas morning we quickly celebrated with our family of 5 before the Jones side joined us. We made a quick trip to St. James that afternoon to see the Nordby's and ended the evening with presents at Grandma and Grandpa's! It was busy, but the kids were so good and loved their gifts and spending time with family. Thanks to all who made it a memorable Christmas.

Gingerbread Houses

Brody and Brenley each made their own gingerbread house earlier this week. They really had fun with it, and only snuck a few bites of candy while building their masterpieces!
