Whatever Day this May BE - TODAY!

The day began at 5:30 a.m. with a phone call to Rick about produce.

Then breakfast (eggs, biscuits and fruit). Oh - funny there - I didn't have buttermilk so had some milk in a cup with vinegar in it....Stacia will eat ANYTHING and took a big swig. I think this is the one of the first times I've seen her make a big deal about something she ate. ::snort::

School - we're moving into China. Jared is ahead of us now and studying the Civil Rights Movement.

It was simply TOO BEAUTIFUL to stay home today...and we DID learn at that seminar on Monday that if you spend 10 minutes a day outside you cut your chances of catching the flu by 50%....so purely for health reasons....I called Tricia and we headed for the lake. What a gorgeous day - did I say that already? ::snort:: After the past month of cold and snow this is a true blessing. Jared came and sat and worked on school. The younger ones played and I "discreetly" followed with camera. ::snort:: I'll post some photos below of our kids at the lake....being very careful that none of Trica's are included.

Home to make dinner and field a few phone calls.

Mom and Dad called. Dad has contracted an infection and will NOT be able to have surgery tomorrow. He'll have to finish his course of meds, so at least another 10 day wait. Do continue to pray for him whilst he waits. Being inactive is very hard...being in severe pain while inactive is even tougher. Thanks ya'll.

Mike called.

Children are in bed and I've not worked out today . I'll go do at least 30 minutes of the step workout as soon as I post this. I did do the 8 minutes in the morning...oh yeah...and I've begun doing reverse crunches and such each a.m. I was able to do 10 crunches the other a.m. LOL I'll get there...baby steps are still steps in the right direction. Today was weigh in. Another pound. I'd hoped for two - but hey - let's not get greedy.
Raised in the eye of the camera - he paused and posed for me without prompting....

On the Swinging Bridge...a bit unsure...check out the tongue! Note she reached for Arielle immediately!

Sounds like a GREAT day! We're hoping to enjoy some nice warm weather for a few days as well... although we do have to head out of town to find those nice warm days you talk of.

Great pictures, so fun that Stacia gets into the playground activities now.

So sorry to hear that your Dad's surgery had to be put off.
