Remember when I said I wished I had a picture of Audrey in her swim suit and pink goggles? Well, I got some today!

Running again (sort of)

by amy

I’m so thankful that the pain in my knee seems to be gone! I’m taking it very slow and working through the couch to 5k program again. I’m accelerating it a little because I think I’m just going to run every other day instead of 3 times a week. So, some weeks that will be 3 times and some weeks it will be 4. It’s been hot, but I have a water bottle and it’s really not that bad since I’m only running for 90 seconds at a time right now!

If I’m feeling good, I may try to do the nickle dickle race in Waconia in September, but I’m not training for anything right now. It’s just in the back of my mind as a possibility.

We spent some time at the park this afternoon and I was able to get some good photos:

I think we’re going to do a beach morning tomorrow! With Nathan along it’s always more fun! I do less calling out, “Don’t go out so far!”

Audrey has the cutest gun. Yes, that’s a gun made out of bristle blocks. Daddy helped.

Back Home!

by amy

In spite of nature’s deluge of water that made it into our basement, we were still able to take off on vacation. Plans were altered a little, but it was not the worst case scenario. The kids and I left on Monday morning at 9:00am. Nathan opted to stay behind and do a little more clean-up so that we wouldn’t have to deal with it when we arrived back from vacation. Nathan joined us one day later. I was so thankful that we had already planned to go with Dad and Joyce. That made it possible for me to be without Nathan and still make sure everyone was safe and having a fun time. But we were so thrilled when he arrived. I ran out to the car and Audrey ran right down the hall into his arms. When I asked Nathan what his favorite part of our vacation was, he said that was it!

It would have been quite a bummer to tell these very excited children that we would have to postpone the excitement. Ethan woke up on Monday morning and told me he was so happy he felt like crying.

We played and played for 3 days straight.

And this is the only photo we got of us as a family. Oh well :-)

Now we’re home and it’s time for dealing with laundry and figuring out how to dispose of our basement carpet! We’re also trying to plan our next move for safeguarding the basement from rain water and wondering how likely it is that this will happen again. Our neighbor said that we received 5 inches of rain over the weekend. I’m thinking that’s not a normal thing, but it would still be smart to put some things in place so we don’t have to be worried about our home anytime we are gone for a couple of days.

I’ve been researching different books for school for next year. This is one of the books I brought home with me today. Look at the date on that check-out card. Amazing!

Garage Sale success for Ethan! It’s the Winsted city-wide garage sale week/weekend. I found this Game Boy and games for a steal. I also have everything I need for Audrey through the winter.

This would have been a much cooler picture if I had a better angle. Do you see the eagle through the tree branches? This is a nest that we get to drive by every time we go to our church. I love it!

My friend, Kelly, came tonight to talk about her new ministry with Athletes in Action. Isaac immediately attached to her and started running through the house chanting her name, sitting on her lap, chattering to her non-stop and kissing her repeatedly. This is his adoring look as he talks to her!
