Half Over Already??!!??

Well, as I sit here I realize that my fantastic summer vacation is officially half over. I am loving every minute I get to be home with the little ones! We have road tripped (for a short, short visit) to northern California to visit family; spent gobs of time at the library; continue to go to the movies on Wednesday morning; and just have fun coloring, reading, playing Mario Kart Wii, dressing up, and playing pretend. If vacation were over today, I would say we have well spent our time! Even more exciting is that Pete starts his vacation on Saturday, July 4th and he will be home with us for an entire week! Woo Hoo! It will probably take left over fireworks to blast him back to work after all the fun we will have! :D

The only thing I would be upset with myself if vacation were to be over today is my physical fitness. I have not been going to the gym and eating healthier like I have wanted to. Today I begin to fix that! I am back on the healthy eating plan (and I have promised myself I am going to actually stick to it this time! Healthier eating makes a happier and saner me.) I am going to my first spin class tonight at the gym and am a bit nervous!

Here are a couple of pictures from our weekend to California. The kids were amazed by my Uncle Jeff's Harley! They had to have pictures on it. They also loved playing wiffle ball in the backyard; and this is such a sweet memory for me. My parents live in my grandparent's old house right now. My sister and I played wiffle ball in this backyard every summer growing up. It means so much to me that my kids have now played there too...
