updates!!

man, i'm sorry it's been forever. i had a few people ask me if i quit blogging...but i was just on a temporary leave of absence. :) almost everyday i would think to myself, i should update the blog and it never got done! tonight i have an event for work in greenbush, so i have some free time for about an hour and thought i'd update you on life.

so updates on my last blogs....morning workouts...went extremely well and i was happy with how i felt about myself. for some reason thought i have not gone in two weeks. my hope is to start doing that again. the days i would work out in the morning, i felt soo much better/healthier/happy all day long.

potty training, went good while we kept up at it. my plan was to introduce audrey to the potty, then when she started daycare (September) to back off and see if audrey seemed interested in it on her own. the answer was no. about two weeks later she would tell us poopy if she was pooping or gas...however the next week our daycare provider was going to be gone (husband having hip surgery) so we didn't really want to start the process and have to take a break while audrey went to her back up provider. so we just thought we'd wait. were still waiting mostly because i feel i have no time for it right now.

ken's job is going good. i think he has a good handle on how the schools up north work and operate. there aren't as many young males in this school as to how many there were in st. michael, so i think it took some to realize that he will just have old friends. :) his cross country team has one meet left, the section meet on Friday. he has been very busy preparing for the upcoming basketball season.

i got a job. it's not my dream job, but it's been a great job so far. i'm the director of little brother/little sister program in roseau, lake of the woods, & kitson county. that job is only part time, but they had another part time job in the head start classrooms for me to assist with. so i pretty much work full time, however the job is sooo flexiable. no two days are alike, i'm in the office and doing a lot of traveling throughout the four counties that we provide services too.

audrey is growing so much. her hair is getting longer, her personality is developing, she walks/runs/talks all day. she sleeps pretty good. i would say about every other night she wakes up at some point and wants to be rocked back to sleep. her last dr apportionment was rather interesting. she didn't want to be in the room/dr office...but we survived.

between audrey and i, we've been to the clinic once a week for the past month. it's a good thing one of my friends works there...i have something to look forward too when we go. :)

this past weekend, MEA, we spent in ada. it was a great weekend, relaxing, watching volleyball, and hanging out with grandparents. ruths volleyball team won the moorhead tourney (alot of a, aa, and aaa schools). they won some huge games!!

enjoy these pictures and i'll post more.
