29 Apr 09 Gym x2

...yep went to the gym TWICE today...remember my spinning instructor, Beth, well she has now taken me on as her project and is going to teach me all about lifting wights in the gym...so we did weights at lunchtime and did spinning after work...boy I hope it pays off!!! I don;t feel to bad, but may not be saying that tomorrow or Friday:) Got to talk to the kids this morning, Matt let them stay up a little late so I could call and talk to them...Abby heard my voice and came running around the kitchen table and said "MOOOOOMMMMMMM"..."Hi MOM" !!!! she was blowing bubbles from her little carrot bubble necklace that I sent to her in her little Easter bag {thanks to Aunt Yvonne :)}....then Dubs got up and came walking into the kitchen with his lion and blankie and wanted to play with bubbles too and I actually heard him tell Matt "BUBBLES???" so Matt blew some bubbles to him and he was popping them having fun...then of coarse now when it is time to go the kids fight over who gets to "hit the button" {the end call button for Skype} but they have to say "Bye, LUV YOU" before they can hit the button and this time Matt told Abby it was Peyton's turn and she said "OK"...SHOCKING..usually she throws a fit because she just about ALWAYS gets to "hit the button"...

little background story...one of my co-wrokers in the clinic, Sloane, is going to have a baby the end of May...now obiviously he is going to miss it....but he does not have a laptop here to be able to talk to his wife and little 4 year old son on Skype....so I told him whenvere he wanted to talk to them to just let me know {he is actually my next door neighbor in our little housing unit}...so we finally got his wife and son on Skype tonight and they talked for 2 hours!!! it felt so good to see the smile on his face to see them...he hasn't seen them since he left...and I know that doesn't really sound like a deployment, but when there is a means to do it, it seems really hard to not be able to...so I told him whenever he wanted to talk to them he was more than welcome to use my computer, to just let me know....so he will probably be using my computer to see the new baby after he gets here :) it won't be the same as being home, but at least he will get the opportunity to actually "see" him!

well...that is all for tonight....gonna share some of my favs from the fall and the kids in their Halloween costumes {Ben was just playing in the leaves}...
