Back at it . . .

Sorry I've been on a short blogging hiatus, but I'll be back at it soon, I promise. I've been working diligently on my scrapbook for the girls' kindergarten year. I'm well over half done now, so getting closer to being caught up on that. As mothers, don't we live behind? I don't think I'm ever actually "caught up" on anything!

I'm feeling a little better this week - each day gets a little brighter. I sure am ready for some nicer weather though so that we can get outside. I'm getting claustrophobic in this house! And, no, it's not time for a bigger house, just for some nice weather! I'm certainly not ready to tackle that task right now!

I'm happy to report that I am back in the gym - that has really helped my spirits these past few weeks. I was so upset to have to wear my maternity clothes after my D&C, so it was a relief to get back into my "normal" clothes so quickly. I know that it is indifferent & it is only material, but the clothes served as a constant reminder of something that I didn't want to be reminded of. I've lost all of my weight though and the belly is gone again - so at least one thing in our lives has gone back to "normal". Enough about that for now.

Molly started soccer practice tonight and loved it. She was still talking about it at bedtime. Her coach, Aaron McConnell is his name, seems really nice & was really great with the kids tonight. He took the time to teach them all of the rules and procedures of how the game is played. They have another practice on Thursday and their first game on Saturday. I'm really excited to go watch them play.

You'll notice that I only said Molly's practice - the girls have ventured apart for the first time. Rayleigh did not want to play soccer right now, she said she would rather do gymnastics. So she has practice on Thursday nights at the "Y" for that. She seems to love it as well. It was kinda nice to see them take on their own interests and not be scared to try something on their own. They not only weren't scared - they were quite excited!

Tucker is going to start gymnastics on Tuesday nights at the "Y" during the next session (next month). It is the only thing that he is old enough to be involved with yet, and I think that it will help with his coordination and also, mostly, his attention span. As of right now, his attention span is shorter than his pinkie finger, so we are looking to improve that at least a little! He is still just a little too young for T-ball this year, so we will just have to be patient until next summer.

Tyler & I are just working away - same 'ol, same 'ol. I am looking forward to a certain someone's 30th birthday coming up on April 29th, but we won't mention any names! We are also looking forward to our Chicago trip during May. That's about it for now - I have to go because Tyler's singing in the basement is getting a little out of control and I am having a hard time concentrating on typing! Thank goodness he works out in the basement and not at the gym! Too funny - gotta love him!
