Check out our little exercise man! I’ve been doing P90x3 for a couple of months now and Griffin has taken to my yoga mat pretty well.  He loves to exercise with me – and man is his core strong.  Oh to be young again, lol! This particular day I put him down for a nap. I had been checking in on him using the video monitor as I could tell he wasn’t falling asleep. About halfway through my workout I hear “Momma, I done sleeping”, so I yelled up and asked him to come down and lay on the couch and rest while I finished.  That lasted about 10 minutes and for the last 5 or so of the video he got down on the floor and exercised with me 🙂  He is also really great at push ups! When I do my workout videos in the family room, I usually have an audience of Lily and Cameron. It has certainly been a very emotionally taxing time for our family over the last couple of months, and weeks, in particular. Cammie’s health (really her tail) wasn’t improving and we made the very painful decision to say goodbye to her this week.  It is such a hard thing to do, this girl has been through all the ups and downs of life with me and our family for as long as I can remember. And as I said in our post about her, she was a sweet yet stubborn and sassy girl.  We miss her (and the sound of her beating her tail) a lot and Finn regularly talks about how she is up in “heben” (heaven) chasing balls.  Finn and Sammy ventured outside this week and built Frosty, complete with a hat and gloves!  And quite a mess of his books:And some snuggles (or smothers!) with Lily: And a simple mommy and son dinner one night. I’ve told some of you this before, but I originally bought the Fruity Pebbles (although they are the ALDI brand) cereal for me. However, it quickly became Finn’s cereal of choice and he asks for it by calling it “colored” cereal. This particular night I had the “adult” cereal and Finn had the “colored” cereal.  About halfway through he said “let’s trade”.  So sure enough, I got the “colored” cereal.  Yum, lol! And this weekend included a boys adventure to Enon, where Finn and Daddy enjoyed lots of time with Grandma and Grandpa, checking out the progress on their new house.  Kevin used the warm day to empty out a storage unit from back in his single days :).  An extra special treat was the warm, sunny, and windy weather which made for a nice afternoon at the park that is right down the road from Grandma and Grandpa’s new house! Joe went along for the ride too. Joe, you know, Finn’s scooter.  He pretends he is a horse and when he’s finished riding him he puts him back in the barn for the night.  Oh, and he does his business outside in the yard, like Lily.  This boy – his imagination is non-stop! While the boys had their fun, I spent the afternoon hanging out with my college girl friends Amy, Jaime, and Kim. We basically hopped from restaurant to restaurant, from Dublin to Easton, and back to Dublin.  We enjoyed catching up on each others lives, kids, spouses, and such. And it was a treat to be able to enjoy the nice and unseasonably warm weather. Though we don’t see each other as often as we would like, we always have fun when we get together!
