It's been too long...

I keep wanting to blog.. but I always feel like I need to post a current picture and that would mean taking the pics off the camera, processing them, and uploading them. And truthfully, I just haven't felt like doing that lately! So the picture for this post is actually from over a month ago. But it works.

Life has been busy lately. With the warm weather we are outside so much and then when we come inside, I am trying to play catch-up on this house. It is never-ending. I'm also trying to work in exercise every day. I'm slowly re-conditioning my body to fitness again. After my thyroid illness last year and so many months of doing nothing, trying to run again was triggering migraines. Even walking too fast or hard was triggering them. So I've had to really be patient with myself. Not easy as I had grown to love running. But I am getting to the point where I can walk at a nice brisk pace and it feels great! I've also gotten back into yoga which is wonderful. I love how calming it is. Some mornings we take walks as a family and that is fun too and good for all of us.

In other news, we are planting a square-foot garden in our backyard. I had heard of it before, and after seeing a friend's successful one, I was motivated to give it a try. So that's been taking some time as we gather materials and get it going.

What can I say about our little girl? She is wonderful. Nothing new there. She says some hilarious things. Like the other day when I needed to vacuum and she said "No mama, you don't have to vacuum. You just pick it up with your hands. It is easy, you do it like this," as she picked up a toy. Ha ha ha!! and she also says some truly sweet things. She is so loving and affectionate. She said to me tonight, "You're the best mama. I love you." Of course, I had to stop what I was doing to hug her and thank her. She is the best.
