Well, my little boy is now 6 months old! I love him so much! He's constant music in our home, humming and cooing. So much to say. I can't wait to hear what his voice sounds like eventually. Many things to look forward to as he grows, but the time is passing so quickly! Someone said that "the days can go so slowly but the months pass very quickly." Very, very true. The last half a year has been a complete blur in many ways. But I feel as though the fog is lifting, thank you God!
I don't know if it's because it's March now and spring is on its way. If I'm actually getting some more rest. If it's because I had a lot of resting time last week while sick, so I feel a new energy this week... maybe all those things. I've actually been somewhat productive around the house and enjoyed it (Still working on being INTENTIONAL and doing things with PURPOSE in my life). I have so many things I'm looking forward to right now. Here are a few:
*My new workout dvd that should be arriving soon... Body Barre for $20 (rather than $110/month). I can't wait to feel the burn again and strengthen my body!
*Long walks with Aaron and the pups, with the birds chirping, and the trees budding. My boy will want to see it all!
*Hopefully, some outings with Grandpa and Aaron: the zoo, aquarium, some foothills hikes. And in the near future, a visit to the local nursery to look at plants and start putting some flowers in the ground!
*Gardening
*Spring cleaning: reminder to self, Intentional Living here. It will feel so good to clean out stuff, especially if we decide to move.
*Running!
*Getting a bike trailer and biking around with Aaron. Fun! Also, biking to work in the afternoons, now that it's light out when I come home.
*More dates with my husband!!! I have the most incredible husband I could ask for. He was so wonderful, taking care of me AND Aaron last week. I want to spend more energy and time working on our relationship and enjoying each other. I think this will happen now that we have taken the plunge and had our first date night post-Aaron a couple weeks ago. :)
God knew what He was doing with Spring time... even though there are still daily frustrations, overall my mood is better. The energy and light of new life and a season of renewal surrounds me. I don't feel like I have to nap every single time with Aaron, so hopefully I'll blog more. I KNOW I will next week when Lent starts and I give up facebook... ;) More on Lent in a future post, I think.
