It was a fun but a tiring time. I don't think my body is quite up to snuff yet,
esp. trying to keep up with 4 young energizer bunnies that just seem to go, go, go, go, and go! Mt mind is willing but my body is sadly weak and lacking. But I am thankful that I am strong enough to even go out with them and have some fun even though at the end of the day I'm soar and achy. Anyway enough about me.
We had a great time and there are lots of pictures to be shown so I'll just post one day at a time. We left Monday afternoon, arrived at the hotel got settled in, then the kids went swimming. Devin hasn't been in water in awhile so he was a little cautious at first, but after reminding him that he use to swim under water and really enjoyed it, he took the plunge and started going under water and then he would jump into the water like the big kids. The water was really nice as we don't have a pool of our own and it's been soooo hot, this was a nice treat for the kids. Here's some photo's.
Summer vacation is almost over and we wanted to do something special for the kids before they start school.
So Mike has taken some of his time last week to phone different fun places in our city that we could take the kids too. We got to go to an Amusement park, the zoo, a kids discovery museum, hotel with pool, and restaurants. WOW! The kids are so excited, as we've been promising to do something with them this summer.
Today as I was packing, Devin kept coming up to me asking me question and to make sure I didn't forget anything...
"Mom did you pack my towel? Can I bring my stuffed animals? When are we going?" Ha, so cute. So we're off to have a fun-filled packed 2 day excursion with the kids, should be lots of fun! Pictures will be posted when I get back.
Beth has been staying with us for the past 3 weeks, it's been great fun having her here, her cheery smiles and laughs will be remembered. She's now off to Austin, and then CHINA! And as Andre would put it " Eat rice and be happy!".
Choosing to go overseas to be a missionary is scary, your a brave soul! We'll keep you in our prayers!
You will be missed.
I just may very well be the only female out of the millions who gets excited about gaining weight....
Yes, ladies and gentlemen I have indeed gained......7 pounds in the last 2 weeks! I know it may not sound like much but for me this is a milestone, it's the most I've weighed since getting sick. Right now I'm at 107 lbs. and hope to work up to 120 or 125 lbs. One thing that's helped me a lot is that I'm now feeling stronger and have started to work out daily. After doing this I saw results right away and I felt better too. I also watch what I eat as to make sure I'm eating the healthy things I can have that has the most amount of calories. I try to have 2 of my smoothies a day which contains about 530 calories each, so that's helping me. I'm so thankful for this progress, it's very encouraging! And thanks to all of you who have helped me and are praying for me. It means so much! Love you xoxo
