Time

This is my last week of working full time.

YIPPEEE!

I miss my Mommy time sooo much.

I feel left out of their lives

right now,

and want back in.

The good thing about working

so much is that

it makes you appreciate

the time you do have.

This weekend we packed full

family time.

Plenty of cuddles!

Saturday morning

my little track star awoke at 6am.

I asked him why he was awake so early.

He said

"We are going running!"

OK, sounds good!

So, we got our gear together,

I grabbed the jogging stroller

and he said

"Whats that for?"

I said,

"For you".

He replied,

"No, I am running".

(A couple of weeks ago the boy did run

1 mile, only stopping for short sips of water...

and once laying down

on the sidewalk

because

he "had to rest for a second".)

Because I was planning on 3 miles,

I told him in could run and ride,

when he felt like it.

He was OK with that.

Once again, he ran almost a mile!

Our run also turned into a grocery

(and donut) stop

before returning home.

He was eager to help daddy

in the yard.

And baby helped me!

After nap

we went shopping for flowers for our yard,

ate a Mexican Fiesta

for "Cinco-De-Mayo"

then,

swam!

The pool is already 80 degrees!

Hard to believe!

Daddy and Big Guy

enjoyed the water,

but Baby is still

pretty nervous.

By that evening he would put his feet in,

but that's all for now!

Sunday had a drastic change in temperature,

so after Church, lunch and nap,

we actually froze while planting flowers.

No swimming on that day!

Such simple activities,

but after those two days

I felt more relaxed,

content

and loved

than I had for a while.

We are looking forward to

our big trip this weekend.

Big Guys asks everyday

"When we going to Colorado

for our race?"
