Beach day......F I N A L L Y

SO sick of rainy days!!

When I left for work this morning.....this is what everyone was doing. AFTER my run mind you! This mama is motivated! Myron and Brennan on MY bed, on the computer.

Nathan STILL in bed on his gameboy.....
Malan.....transfixed by the cartoons on television. I know I know.....but it's NOT summer, or is it?
and.....Rylan.....lying on the sofa.
I really wish I could bring my sweet little Mae to work with me. She is all smiles and energy.
I have been helping a friend by taking care of her 91 year old great aunt. It's work....

It's work away from my children, which is the hardest part. Shane is starting to appreciate just how hard it is being home. Yes, he is at home for the time being, until an opportunity to rent a room from someone comes up. We appreciate all your support and prayers through this transitional time in our lives. Everyone is happy, well adjusted and very loved.

Running.....flowering, etc.

We haven't had too many days of sunshine, here, in the Pacific northwest. When we do, I spend extra time outside to get some color. For the last month, I have been nearly (sometimes over) 4 miles a day. I have lost nearly 30 lbs and feel fantastic. It takes me about an hour to do my loop. I have to stop and walk sometimes, but I can feel the healthy changes taking place in my body. I love that endorphin boost!

Mae and I planted a little flower garden for her. She loves to go out and water them every day.

Okay, that's it for now.....

Everyone is doing great....

No really...if you know our current circumstances, then you are wondering.

We are doing fantastic considering. Shane and I are still friends and the kids are healthy, happy, and wise...
