Exercise.

Now that I am not pregnant and Henry is a little bit older I have decided to get into shape. Mainly I want to build my endurance. This goal has only been in the process for a couple of weeks. Willie has been willing to help me in my goal. We have done mediocre in beginning my goal but things happen. Since we don't get too much time to go running we have decided to make time after dinner but before bedtime. This gives us one hour to make our outing. We get home a little late and the boys are wired so bedtime is pushed back most of the time. Since our dependable Combi stroller is a little lacking on the wheels we had to get a new stroller. By the way I love our Combi, it's been all over the world with us and has always been great for the kids. So the new stroller is a jogger and it's great. Willie pushes the two big boys and I

push Henry is our old single Graco. We have too many strollers now.

Parker has been noticing Willie and I exercising a little more. Last night as we were getting the strollers ready Parker said he wanted to run with us. Our run was going to be short because it was getting late and we decided to make a stop to pick some things up. We consented thinking that he would be done running before we made it out of the gate of our complex. Parker was so cute as he started stretching with us, getting ready for the big run. He ran all the way to the gate and he stopped for a breather. Little did we know that he wanted to keep going. He would run really fast for 40-50 feet then he would stop and catch his breath, then he'd continue on. He would have run all the way to our destination if we would have let him but we had to cross a few streets. He had the biggest smile on his face when he was running. He loved it and I loved it too. I wish I had a picture of this exciting moment to share but it's only in my head and I hope to treasure it forever.
