Woodmont Wednesday

Tonight we are headed to church for a picnic! Our small group is meeting there together. It should be fun-- hope it doesn't rain. It seems like it rains every day now.

I have been designing a web site all afternoon for Scott because he doesn't have time to work on it-- and he said he'd pay me!! :)

I have also been trying to finalize our family trip to Philadelphia to see Nancy, David, and the kids. I think sometime in September is looking good. I have never been to Philly outside of the airport or driving through, so I am looking forward to seeing all the history. They live in the heart of the historic district, too, so it should be a ton of fun to tour around with them. Dad and Mom already got to spend a little time doing that when they went up to help them move. They had a great time and are looking forward to returning.

Had a great workout this morning in SPIN. What a cardio session! I have to admit that I am pretty proud of myself for getting to the Y 5 days a week, especially with a 5 month-old baby! I have been back to working out now for three months-- I started back when he was 8 weeks. It has been nice to get my muscles back and I am really getting stronger-- I moved up to 15 lb weights in sculpt class this week. I still have some work to do-- and I will never be back to the way I was in college-- But then again, who is?! I am also happy that I have never really struggled with body issues, although I have never been overweight either. I guess I have tried very hard not to become to fixated on it because of all I have seen working with teenage girls in the past. Easting disorders are nothing to mess with-- very sad. I refused to get fanatical about what I eat. I just want to be healthy and strong enough to lug a growing boy around!

Speaking of my growing boy-- he is sound asleep. He has gone down for his naps like a perfect angel this week. I can lay him in bed and he knows it's nap time and drifts off without a whimper. I am really trying to enjoy these times of him being so easy to handle and so much fun to be with-- because it surely must get harder and more stressful as he continues to age-- but still fun, I'm sure-- just in a different way.

We are headed to St. Louis next weekend for a ZOE conference, and I hope he continues to be so flexible. I bet that will be the weekend he decides to have a major meltdown!!! :) Oh well-- such is life!
