I have been computer-less for some weeks while Glen uses mine. He's hoping to get a good deal on one soon. He's had ideas about getting an Apple... Meanwhile, I have been busy at the gym. I started training for a half-marathon and of course, love the yoga classes. I've also been painting the interior of our house and it's looking beautiful. In the evenings, I have been scrapbooking and reading. It's been nice to be away from technology for awhile, but I am grateful that we have a Droid to check my e-mail with. :)
Since Glen has had my computer, he's been busy. He applied to ASU to get into a Master's of Education program to become certified to teach secondary school. He will be qualified to teach HS Biology or MS General Science. When Glen's not tearing it up on the computer, he's winning 5k races and training for a triathlon that will be at the end of September.
Here's what else we've been up to:
I got through Cub Scout camp this summer. :) It was awesome and we have great boys in our ward. It was undoubtedly hot, but I went to camp prepared with a big floppy military-style hat and a long sleeve white shirt. It kept me cool and sunburn free. The highlight of my time there was shooting a bow and arrow and a BB gun. Fun times...
Esther desperately wants to potty-train and so we decided to start working with her on it (unwillingly). She has figured out that toilet paper can be fun and how to stay busy while sitting.
In May, Glen and Joseph went on a Father and Son's campout at church. Esther and me? We stayed at home, had pizza and watched movies with a friend and her daughter. Girls always know how to have fun, but Joseph and Glen may have outdone us. After plenty of S'Mores, campfire stories, and scenic hikes, the boys came back home excited and ready to go back out camping right away...
Finally...Joseph is still at it with Legos and improves his skill each time he gets a chance. Here are some shots of his latest creations:
He's got many more where those came from and just loves to design and create. Esther is starting to get into Legos too, and I am so glad that my kids enjoy doing some of the same things I did when I was just a wee one. Some things just never go out of style.
We hope that you are all doing well and blessed and we enjoy reading about you on your blogs and in your e-mails.
We hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July weekend!
