At least I'm trying

I've had many ideas for blog posts lately, and I've even started writing one. For some reason, I just wasn't able to finish. My thoughts weren't quite put together. Maybe that's because I get little spurts of time while the babe is sleeping... :)

I've started working out again, which I highly recommend. Not having much time right now, it is not only about the physical exercise, but also a time to think. In fact, it has been during those times that I've come up with ideas for blog posts recently. It can be hard to find time for myself amidst the craziness of chasing the spit up trail, changing dirty diapers, feeding the little one, and blowing my tongue at the sweet babe to catch a smile. But, when I do escape for a few minutes, I usually come back at least a little rejuvenated. There have, admittedly, been a couple of times that I came back feeling more stressed because I wasn't able to let go of the endless list of should-dos and the relentless questions of whether or not I'm doing this right. And, there have been other times that I needed a nap more than a run, so I skipped the workout and let myself rest while Grant watched Gideon. Ah, the balance of life.

I may not always get it right, but at least I'm trying. That's a good motto for me!

It's hard to walk away from that cute face!

All bundled up for his first trip to the park. It was a windy day!!

We were just excited to get out of the house :)

Grant's masterful kite-flying abilities! He attached two kite strings together!
