Well, I have been a little behind in my blogging lately. This summer has been a whirlwind of events and vacations. And since I learned to do "extreme couponing" as I call it, every free minute I have is devoted to that. Here's what's going on with us lately...
Josiah is busy working on his rentals this summer and helping me recover from the 9 months of the school year where I am pretty much a single parent.
Esther is still working on her gymnastics really hard this summer and just tested today to see if she is ready to advance to level 3 trainers. She made it!!! I am so proud of her, but a little bummed at the fact she will have to be going to practice 3 days a week for 2 hours at a time. More time and running on my part, but I guess that's my job :) She has been doing a lot of reading this summer and is getting really good at it. Gone are the days that Josiah and I could spell something so the kids wouldn't know what we are talking about!
Hannah has learned "survival swimming" this summer. She is so funny and fearless when it comes to the water. She can just barely keep he head above water til she gets to the side of the pool. She also started gymnastics and is in the Firecrackers class. She loves it!!! Her birthday is in 2 weeks and she is constantly bragging about it.
Lydia is 6 months old tomorrow and growing like a weed. She has her two bottom teeth and is now working on 4 on the top! They'll probably all break though in the next week...poor baby!
I am super busy keeping up with the kids and doing my couponing, cleaning house, etc. I have been taking a bootcamp this summer and lost about 10 pounds since the end of April. Weight loss sure is slow when your breastfeeding...I don't care what the experts say! I have a new motivation now though...my 10 year class reunion is at the end of August and I am hoping to loose another 5 lbs before it. Anyone wanna join me in a big diet and exercise month??? It's always funner with a friend (is funner a word?)
That's about all for now! I'll try to get some pics up later!
