I'm still here....

So, I know that I haven't posted in quite awhile. I have been very remiss. My apologies.

I have a myriad of excuses, but I will give you just a few. One is that the time of day that I would usually post is now when I do my exercise DVD. I have been sweating like crazy, no fantastic results of yet. (I do plan to post pics of me all fit, trimmed, and hot in the near future! ;)

Actually, I'm hoping by November because I recently found out that Daniel and I will be going on a trip to Hawaii, if we can get all the little details worked out. (These are some times I really appreciate homeschooling!) The business earned 2 all expenses paid trips to Hawaii and his parents generously gave them to Daniel and Brian. For anyone who knows me, that is one place I have always said that I would love to go!! So, I'm totally jazzed and now I'm working even harder to lose those last 25 pounds! (Which actually sounds impossible right now, since I feel as though I've been working on losing weight for the last 7 years! BUT I will never give up!!)

Also, we are still working on finishing up first grade. There are so many basic principles to learn at this stage. We've really tried to go a bit slow to let it all sink in. The girls are doing great! They seem to grasp new things well and file it all up in their brains somewhere. We're working on being done by July 4th.

I do also have some pics I want to upload on here, but just haven't gotten around to it yet. Nothing too exciting, just fun. We've been enjoying all the great weather for playing outside. I want to let them enjoy it as much as possible before we get some crazy hot Kansas weather.

Tomorrow evening we go to Kansas City to pick up my sister Rebecca to enjoy our Christmas gift from her. She is coming out for about 5 days and Daniel and I can do whatever we want while she spends lots of quality time with her nieces and nephew. :) We are planning on staying one night in a hotel and lots of hanging out and play time all together. We are really excited, especially the kids!!

So, signing off for now, but hopefully more to come sooner rather than later....
