Washington Life!

Well, it seems we are finally settled in. Yesterday we hung some pictures on the walls, that has to mean something, right? :)

Levi went to his first gymnastics class today at the YMCA. I am not sure I would even call it a gymnastics class, it was sort of a free for all playing and having fun. Whatever you want to call it though, my kid LOVED it!!! I mean, he could have stayed there all morning until he passed out asleep on the floor. He was so cute running around and bouncing from child to child interacting with them. I just kept following him and getting my exercise in.



Speaking of exercise, being almost 14 weeks pregnant with our 3rd kid, tends to give ya' a little bit of a belly. I am definitely showing now. Errrr... wait, well at least I think I am showing, because I feel it and its a hard as rock belly. But, I still get the feeling that a lot of people just think I am reaaaaally fat. lol.
But when they throw me that look, I just gently rub my belly :) Life is all about how you take it. I could get all offended or just rub my belly and smile. Sometimes you have to pick and choose what you get upset about. Being a 'bigger' prego means sometimes you get funny looks. Like when you are chasing your 17 month old around the gym :) hehehe... But it was so worth it. Seeing the look on his face and how happy he was, makes it worth it!

Life in Washington is good. We made the conscious effort that we wanted this 'new chapter' of life to be much calmer, and more family oriented. I definitely think we have accomplished that. It feels so good to finally relax and enjoy life more.

Today it is going to be a super sunny warm 70 something day. We plan to soak up all the warm and get a good walk or maybe 2 in! There aren't any baby swings near us, unfortunately. I don't quite understand how you forget to put those in ANY of the parks within walking distance from us. But Levi and I are trying to convince Ryan that we 'need' a swing hung in the garage for him. Hopefully, he caves next time we go shopping :)

We hope everyone is doing well and that you all enjoy your Monday too!!
