School's Out

What's Going on with the Kids?
Lucy had her first birthday and then a couple of weekends after her baptism.  She is such a doll baby and even cute when she throws a fit(which I am sure will totally change).  Her favorite things right now are her daddy, puppy dogs, and anything with a straw.

Max will finish preschool this week.  I can't believe my little boy will soon be in kindergarten.  The time flies by way to quick and lately I am often hit with the desire to press pause.  He is getting to big and so smart.  His favorite things right now are gremlins(no, he hasn't seen the movie but that doesn't keep him from being borderline obsessive), going to play with friends, and drawing the most amazing art!


What's Going on with the Parents?
I am entering my last semester of graduate school.  Yes, as of the end of July I should have a diploma in hand.  And not doing anything with it, but it is the effort that counts.  I am working hard at being active at the gym and setting a healthy example for my kids.  This is an ongoing effort that sometimes feels impossible, but it is totally possible.  Right now I have mini-goal of losing 53 pounds.  So far I've lost zero, I'll keep you updated on my progress.

We have started regularly attending church and reaffirming that foundation of faith in our lives has been incredibly needed.  Lane has a new obsession of creating star wars "worlds" for Max to play with.  I'll have to post some photos, because they are honestly amazing.  Max gets a huge kick out of them and Lane finds the sculpting and the painting relaxing.

What's Next?
It is summer!  Hopefully lots of swimming and great adventures as we enjoy this summer.  Plus t-ball and karate will keep Max active, in fact, his first t-ball game is tonight.  Go Bears! I plan to actually blog more.  We will see if plans come to fruition.  They might just, I've missed this blog.
