I had a great weekend last weekend! I went to my friend's pool on Sunday and spent a nice relaxing day there. The weather has been unusually cold for this time of the year, so I'm hoping that there will be a few more weekends where we can still go swimming.

It will be nice to take a few days off and see everyone. My brother and sister in law are in from Germany too, so I'm going to get to meet my new niece!
