Cute Boy!

Through the night?

After a long hot day of church, trekking over to Seattle for an afternoon/evening with friends and a kind of late bedtime, James was tuckered out. It was about 90 degrees in our house last night so it took a little time for him to settle into a good sleep however once he was out, he was out!

I am pretty sure he finally went down about 9:30 (late for him) and at 5:00am I woke up with my body telling me it was way past time to feed the little guy but no little guy awake to feed. Usually James wakes up at around 3:00am and then again at 6:00am but last night something changed and instead he slept until 6:30am! That's right, nine hours of sleep in a row!

Great Grandparents rock!

Or so says James, who met two more of his greatest ancestors two weekends ago. Fathers Day was a blast. Click on the album below and see for yourself!

Fathers Day Weekend

California Boy

James goes to California

This past weekend James went on his first airplane ride to California to attend Amanda and Phil's wedding and of course see family. James did great on both plane flights and had an awesome time with his eight crazy cousins.

Exercise

Since giving birth to my little boy I haven't stressed too much about getting back into shape however this past week I have been feeling kinda crummy. Perhaps it's the lovely October weather we've been having here in Seattle or maybe it's that I get winded running up our many flights of stairs. Either way it's time to get back on the workout wagon.

The problem that I've had however is how exactly to get exercise with a two month old in tow and a part time job to take care of.....well I may have the answer. Workout videos!

Yep, I am officially drawing the blinds and dancing/boxing my way back to a pre-pregnancy me, thanks to my friend Kelly who lent me a couple DVDs. Carrie, Jaime and Nicole will remember my (and Carrie's) workout video phase in college and now I am back at it.

Unfortunately, as Carrie will remember and probably chuckle to recall, I am not exactly gifted in the rhythm department. Today was my first video workout day and although I did work up a sweat, I am VERY glad that no one was able to see me as I stumbled through the steps....well except for James of course who laughed at me almost the entire time.

I kept trying to keep up with the ladies on the video but instead I found myself running into the coffee table, tripping over my feet and generally craving chocolate the whole time.

Oh well, at least I'm trying, maybe I'll be better at kickboxing......
