Update (aka... long post)

OK so what have we been up too the last few weeks? Actually lots. We went on vacation for a week at my grandparents in Bend, OR. That was a lot of fun, we didn't do all that much, but a week away from everything is soo nice. Went to the museum, did some shopping, ate lots of food. And then we all got sick! Why is it when ever we go on vacation we end up getting a cold? Is it because we finally slow down and our bodies just can't handle it or what. Well we had a good time anyways. Good to see the family. While we were down there we were told that my mother-n-law broken her ankle. She ended up having surgery to fix it. She broke every bone in her ankle along with dislocating it. Very bad, but she is doing well besides having to be in a chair 24/7. Keiren is getting so big and so very smart. I feel like in the last few weeks she has grown up so much. She is constantly asking questions and wanting to know what everything is. Very inquisitive. I love it! We signed her up for swimming lessons, I have been meaning to do this for a very long time and finally got around to doing it. We start tomorrow at a local pool that actually has salt water instead of chlorine. I guess it's easier to learn how to swim in, more buoyant. So we'll see how it goes. I think she will really like it once she is comfortable. I have decided to start somewhat of a workout routine. I had lost some weight but it is gradually creeping back on. So now need to do some exercise. I have no excuse not too, my work has a gym. So I have copied/stole some ideas from a friend. I am going to do these: http://twohundredsquats.com, http://twohundredsitups.com, and http://hundredpushups.com. They are a gradual build up over six weeks. I'm really excited about it, hope I can keep with it. It would do me really good. So today at my lunch break I took my initial test. I can do 15 modified push ups ( on knees), 40 good crunches/sit ups, and 31 squats. Which is a lot better than I thought I would be able to do. All that lifting of a 27lb baby really pays off more than I think. I also walked a very fast mile on the treadmill. So tomorrow I will start the real routine of doing this every other day. Next I need to work on getting better at running.
