Every day life

Since this is my first blog, I just want to update everyone on our family. After this, the blogs will be more personal and specific. I hope you enjoy hearing about what's going on here...
The weather has been getting warmer here which really lifts my spirits. I love the warmer weather, sunshine and being outside. Last weekend, Chris and I were able to get a lot of yard work done which was somewhat therapeutic for me. Morgan has started soccer and loves it. He has such a natural athletic ability and I hope he sticks with playing sports for a long time. He is 4th grade now and the school year is almost over. I got a call from his teacher this morning stating that he had not turned in his reading homework for the past two days, so soccer may be on hold for a while. Ivey is potty-trained and being a normal two-year-old. Quite often I have to remind her, "Ivey, who's the mommy?" and she replies "You are!" She makes us laugh, she's such a nut! However, when we get to church or out in public somewhere she shys away from people. I think it's just a game she plays, but it kind of annoys me because I think it's rude. Anyways, trying to teach her how to be polite and socially acceptable is quite an experience. Gavin is growing too fast! He's 13 months old now, practically running around the house and beginning to say a few words. Mostly he just points to what he wants and says, "This!" He's a sweet boy and will definitely have the "baby" syndrome when he's older...not good! Chris is doing great and his business is thriving, praise God! Thank you, Lord, for this wonderful blessing! He works late on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and comes home at lunch time on Tuesday and Thursday so that I can go out and do things that I want to do. He's a great husband isn't he?? I think so. Because of this, I've begun taking guitar lessons. I really enjoy it but it's definitely not easy. Other than that my days are filled with working out (I've lost 12 pounds since September), Bible study, MOPS, church and, of course, my family. Like I said, the posts from here on out will be more specific, but I thought you at least needed a background. I hope you enjoy and please let us know how you're doing as well. Have a wonderful day!
