We went to MOPS on Tuesday and it was great. Just fun mom time together trying to learn to be the best moms that we can be. Pete and Jamie did great in childcare and I got to have a yummy breakfast, meet some new friends and learn a few new tidbits from other moms about their mommying ways. Each week we will have breakfast, then have a speaker or do a craft, then break up into our discussion groups for more personal time together talking and praying. I am really excited about this new part of my life. Like the bible study I joined last year, I find myself saying the same thing, I should have joined years ago.
Wed. my bible study started up again and I have a whole new group. We are studying Colossians. I don't have to take the kids to that because P. is home on Wednesdays now. It's really an all me morning!
I have been to the gym a couple of times and changed up my strategy. All cardio. And I hate cardio. But I think it is the only way I am going to lose weight. And so far, it has worked! Started last week at 164. Today, 162.5. Yup, the numbers actually went down! I am encouraged to do more and am looking forward to seeing what the scale has in store for me next week!
I am back at physical therapy for my neck and back. Just trying to make my days a little more manageable and comfortable. So far I think it is working this time but when they want to see you twice a week it will be hard to keep up.
I got my haircut this week too. My attempts at growing it out have finally given in to the fact that I always just put it back in a ponytail anyway. So, it's shoulder length again and I like it. I didn't even tell P. I as going to do it. Just came home and it was all gone. No pictures of me to post. Maybe I will try to get one. It's time I got a good pic with the kids anyway.
And tomorrow is another busy day. For lunch we are going down to P.'s work. Every year they golf during the morning and then have a lunch for the staff with a bunch of prizes. We went last year when Jamie was just 6 or so weeks old. Boy how time flies. And it was there we met our wonderful friend "Onnie" who is now a huge part of our life and our hearts. Tomorrow night we are having some friends over for dinner. I won't even go into our plans for Saturday but I am sure I will post about it soon after!
To end, a couple pictures of my handsome boy. :) I gave him a backpack to take to MOPS on Tuesday with his diapers (doesn't really need them anymore), extra change of clothes, socks, sippy cup and any toys he wanted to bring. He was so excited about his backpack.
And here he has just put his shoes on all by himself. On the right feet and everything (by chance). I couldn't believe it. Just a glimpse into life getting a little easier someday for me. And this week he wass able to climb into his car seat in the van all by himself so while I am putting Jamie in, he is getting himself in. I still need to finish buckling him in but really half is done by the time I get there. And it saves my back one extra lift for the day! And he is getting better at going pee pee by himself though it isn't always the cleanest job. I am so proud of my big boy.
