Family fitness

Every Saturday morning we have been going to the gym on the Little Creek base. They have a family section so the kids can play in a blocked off area, and then there are machines and weights in the same room. It's a great option for us. And it's free... the price is right. I also tried a yoga class on base last week. I met Pete at the end of the work day and then he took the boys home while I stayed. I also met another JAG wife, so that was fun. It was a good class overall, but the sound of jets overhead is a new yoga sound:)

The boys favorite thing at the gym in the boxing room. We are there early enough so it's usually empty and the boys can go nuts in there. They got every bag swinging!

 We had great weather on MLK day, so we headed to the park with every other child in the area who was out of school. The park also has great running trails, so Pete went out on a run, while I watched the boys and wrote some thank you notes. It was a nice morning.

 This was Pete's arm workout following bath time a few days ago. haha. Creative.

 Austin can't wait to go to preschool. Whenever we drop off Parker he doesn't want to leave and then talks all about the lunchbox he's going to have and who his teacher will be. Excited for his turn next fall. Here he is twirling through the hallways.

We had parent teacher conferences last week, and Parker's was very good. It was not so long ago that we were worried about Parker because of his high activity level, intensity, and impulsiveness. But I am so pleased to report a great amount of growth in his maturity and abilities. He is doing very well. He pays attention and strives to make good choices and be an example to others. His teacher said, "I wish I had 50 Parkers in my class." He really is a sweet boy. Love him so much.
