family update

An update...finally. I'm too overwhelmed to write much. So I'll be quick.

Jason- works 16 plus hours a day. We miss him. He has lost weight from the stress of work and looks great, although he is exhausted.

I'm stressed, but have gained what Jason has lost. I've take up running 2 miles a day plus 1 hour of pilates. 3 days a week I run with my friend Sabra. I'm half way through a lot of projects and try not to think about what needs to be finished. I fill my days with exercise, cleaning, cooking, and driving to activities. Once in a while I'll give one of the kids some attention.

Reagan is doing great in soccer. She got her first goal last week. I was so excited that I was jumping up and down screaming. She also is excelling in piano and started swimming. I added swimming as a way for her to gently help her exercise sore muscles from our car wreck in August. She is catching on to the strokes. She is a wonderful daughter and big sister.

Lauren is also doing great in piano. They have a great teacher. She is also in swim and loves it. She always comes home with treasures she finds on her way home. Love that girl.

Ben is doing a co-op preschool. He loves it soooo much. Today they had apple pie at preschool and he loved it. He knows most of his letters and can count to 50. When I go running, he helps me keep pace by riding his bike. He is fast, so I have to be fast weather I want to or not.

Bailey is starting to potty train. She claps and yells, "YEAH!" when she finishes. She keeps me on my toes. I get a little tired of washing the ink and color crayons off the walls from her. I figure she should grow out of it soon... I hope.

Hope I can write soon.... Love you all
