This week...





Soccer season started and Grandpa would be impressed with Christian's skills. He is really enjoying the game and our family has a great time watching his team play. Dad and Christian have been enjoying the golf game, but not quite enough. Craig works really, really, hard. And his job is like any job, super stressful. Sometimes I have to really try to tempt him with a game of golf with Christian or an evening watching football. He is always grateful when he takes some time to relax. Ella and I celebrated the kids going back to school last Monday with a trip to Chuck E. Cheese. She has been begging us to take her there all summer. Since we haven't been since last winter, I thought it was about time. There was no one there but us...and she had a great time. Now she keeps asking to go to Jungle Bungle. One playland is enough for me.
We also had some great storms this week, and with that always comes a great rainbow. This picture isn't that great, but I promise some better ones that my neighbor captured as soon as she gets them to me. I love a rainbow. It is the perfect sign of hope in times of struggle or storm.
I have also been working on lots of paper projects, but they are secret....more to share in the weeks to come!

An 8 Year-Old's Ipod


I have been trying to exercise everyday. I go to the YMCA and walk on the treadmill or do the eliptical(sp?) machine. I have always dreaded it. Exercise is not my favorite thing. Last week, I decided to take Christian's ipod with me to listen to while I ran. What a difference it made! Is this a secret that all those that listen to music while they exercise forget to tell the rest of us? It was so much easier! My time went by so quickly. I couldn't hear my hard breathing or my feet pounding on the treadmill. He also has a very good mix of songs:
Garth Brooks
Collective Soul
Backstreet Boys
High School Musical
Nirvana
Queen
Napoleon Dynamite
Ryan Shupe & The Rubberband
Some other rock songs that really keep me moving!
I never thought that an 8 year old's Ipod would make me look forward to exercising every morning!
