ANOTHER WEEK

We have not been up to a whole lot the past couple of days. With company gone and us still recovering from vacation we have not done a whole lot. We did have a couple nice days and I have been able to run out doors, which is a very nice change from the endless/boring treadmill. I actually was able to get out and go biking/picnic with the girls for a morning something we love to do but we seem to have either been too busy or the weather has not cooperated.
Actually what we have spent a good chunk of time doing this week is exercising-Ron in particular. He continues to ride his bike to and from work and usually runs on his lunch hour. On top of that this week he decided to check out a biking group that meets on Wednesday and rides. I have to have him tell his version of the evening but lets just say he was beat when he road into the garage-thirty miles at some break neck speeds made for quite the work out and also gave him his first flat. We both also got in a 14.5 mile run which is very time consuming as neither of us was motivated to get up early. With biking and swimming my mileage has lessened so it was a stretch for my body to increase this week.
This is also the first year that the kids have been understanding the story of Easter, or at least they can tell you about the death and resurrection of Jesus. It has been fun as this holiday is one of my favorites/most meaningful. Such an amazing relief that someone would die to take away my endless sins and there is nothing I need to do but give him my heart in return. Out church has been great about having childcare during some additional services this week.
One cute thing with the kids. We have adjusting to a normal bedtime routine and beds. Brayden has been up multiple times with multiple complaints or requests. He was reprimanded and severely warned. Becca on the other hand I think listens to all this and doesn't dare say a word. In fact the other night when I went to bed I discovered that she had taken off her pull-up, gone potty, got a stool to reach her pull-ups, put a new one on and put herself back to bed. What a shock coming from a girl who crys when asked to put on her shoes because she can't do them....they are Velcro slip ons. Brayden has decided to impose on Becca and since I didn't listen to all his complaints about the dark, closets, doors..... I found him in bed with Becca last night both sleeping soundly. Great with me, as long as they both sleep till morning.
