M.I.A.

So it's been a crazy few weeks around here. Between shuttling Andrew back and forth to swimming lessons, the never ending bout with pink eye, my being sick and just trying to stay on top of all the other stuff going on around here, I haven't really had a lot of time to sit down and post anything. So here are some quick updates and hopefully I can get back on the blogging band wagon.

Luke: I can't believe he's six months old already. I don't know where the time goes. He's got such a happy disposition. He's babbling and already mimics "ma ma" which of course makes me so happy. He's all over the living room. He doesn't crawl on his hands and knees yet. He does more of an army crawl. But he is up on his hands and knees, rocking. He loves his solid foods and we have started to introduce a sippy cup, which is going quite well. He may be weaned off of a bottle before our trip to Idaho next month.

Andrew: He's thoroughly loved swimming lessons. The kid is a fish. He'd spend his entire day in water if I would let him. We decided to skip the last session because he's had a bout of pink eye that just won't go away. I don't know if it's the pool or just coincidence so I decided to be safe. He starts preschool in two weeks. He'll be going to an in-home program run by a couple of gals I go to church with. He's so excited to finally "go to school", but bummed he doesn't get to ride the bus yet.

Clayton: Busy as ever with work. Seems like we filled up all that time he was spending on school with family activities. He's been super great helping out with the kids and the housework.

Me: Well, other than the strep throat and tonsilitis I've been fighting the past week, I'm doing pretty well. It's been frustrating with the fitness goals. Every time I finally get the "I'm going to do this no matter what" attitude, I get sick or have my period (which has been knocking me for a loop the past few months). When I went into the doctor earlier this week though, I got a script for blood work (told me wait until I was feeling 100%) and when those results come back, will schedule a physical. I'm looking forward to getting it done and hopefully getting the ball rolling with getting off the rest of my baby weight. I want to do a couch to 5K program and am determined to get it off.

So that's about it around here. I'll post some new pictures soon. And hopefully I won't go MIA again!
