Summer Time!

It has been so long since I've written!  Lets see... a few new developments include warm weather, fitness, scooting and new friends! The weather has warmed up (as I write this it is raining outside). I still fluxuates quite bit. I am happy to report, however, that we rarely see the temperature falling less than 60 degrees. Michigan is consistently inconsistent, but I don't mind. Despite lots of rain, we have had some really nice days. We have ventured outdoors for walks, parks and bike rides. Coop went on his first bike ride last night. He really enjoyed the scenery :) I also love dressing my little boys. It is fun to see Cole in his "cool" camo shorts and comfy tees as Coop get to go barefoot.

With warm weather comes summer meaning Coop's one year birthday will be here soon! I set a goal to reach my pre-preganancy weight within a year. Pregnancy is hard on the body for obvious reasons, but shedding baby weight is a long process that requires patience and persistence. I am almost there but have really up-ed my healthy conscious eating and fitness level, which is something I hope to maintain even after this Coop weight is gone.

Coopie is mobile! He was struggling with the concept of crawling. He is so funny as he gets on all fours and rocks back in forth then whines in frustration as nothing happens. He has found a way around being on all fours. He has discovered scooting! He uses his whole body to inch forward and has gotten really good at it! He's happy so we're happy. I have noticed that my nervousness for a mobile baby is less this time around. I feel much more secure and less worried about the "what ifs". I will see if that changes once he starts walking. :)

We have also started a new small group with some Church friends. Every other Sunday we get together and discuss Jesus and Christianity which is wonderful. The best thing about this new gathering is that there are other kids too. All the kids play and the adults grow closer to God and one another. I am so grateful that God has brought our friends and their children into our lives. It is amazing how much fuller life can be if we share it others. 

Until next time!
