This week has been busy with dentist appointments, a trip to the Gallo Center to see The Magic Flute (which was bizarre), co op pick up, a haircut as well as the usual piano and acrobats classes. Mornings have been early, early mostly because that is when I am at my most productive and if exercise is going to happen, those early hours are my only hope.

A few weeks back my faithful, 8 year old treadmill came to a complete halt 2 miles into a workout. I wept. OK, not really. I was sweating too much. But thankfully, on its way in the mail was a new workout set of DVD’s, P90X. Over Christmas I saw an infomercial and thought this workout was completely different than ones I had seen before. I didn’t order right away. But four days later, I was wishing I had. The two older boys have since joined me in my early morning workouts because, “that looks like fun.” More on that later.

We left last week Wednesday for Legoland and returned home Sunday . On the way home, we watched The Culture Wars DVD in the car.

Voddie Baucham makes an hour seem like minutes. He’s so easy to listen to, and we all think he’s quite funny. When the kids can quote him word for word, it’s good stuff.

My awsome Mom, the kids' best friend went with us.

Lost? Ask this man. He'll point you in the right direction.

Back to the future, living in the present, hoping in eternity.

And to think, they're old enough to go by themselves!
