...Update
Well, to start with: God is good. Life is good. My boys are good. And I am good.
Easter weekend was lovely! We drove to spend it with Chris's [extended] family in Seattle and had a blast! Easter dinner was moved from Sunday to Saturday to accomodate us long-distance travellers. Lots of cousins our age and lots of cousins the boys' ages~ good times and good food!
On our way back home, we shopped at the outlet malls in North Bend. Ran and giggled thru pouring rain to get from store to store! Celebrated the end of lent with fast food and enjoyed some shopping~ good finds!
SpRiNg has sPrUnG in Spokane! And Chris and I are trying to make some healthier decisions for our family and last week, started walking! We are slowly building up~ started with about a half hour walk (which gets us approximately 1.8miles) and are adding a few minutes each night and --Amy at The Mommy Chronicles will be proud-- are even adding a couple minutes of running (okay, okay jogging) each night! We are gearing up to walk Bloomsday in a few more weeks! And are excited to be doing this as a family! ~good for our health!
The boys are growing leaps and bounds everyday! Collin has discovered he can pull himself up on just about any surface (not necessarily stationary!) and loves to jump in his crib while he's supposed to be napping. Mason's new thing is story-telling. He loves explaining, giving directions, sharing stories with anyone who'll lend an ear! Chris is gearing up for finals (ugh. again.) But that brings our count to [almost] two years down, one more to go! ~ good progress!
Summer will be here before we know it! And our busy plans start as early as next weekend: my brother is home on leave! (SO excited!) And he and my sister and her hubby are coming up to stay with us. We have tickets to see Death Cab for Cutie and a sitter lined up for the boys! Our travel plans this year include me to Vegas for Jeannette's Bachelorette Party (FUN!), our family to the Hatley Castle in Victoria, BC for a wedding, more weddings in the Tri Cities, Chris is headed to New York City to visit his best friend, Jesse. ~good plans and good fun!
We are very excited for Bloomsday and are looking for a house to buy! And feeling so good these days! About ourselves, our lives and our God! I have really been trying to see the good in the situations I keep finding myself in and am learning to TRUST in my GOD and to help keep our home happy!
Cheers to you on this middle of the week update! More to come~
love!

Great update! I've been trying walking lately too, then the rain hit. It's supposed to clear up so I'll be out there again. I feel so much better when I do. Sounds like you all have some fun summer plans.
