Your golden retriever barks to come back inside the house! Normally, Mia would enjoy just laying or sitting in the backyard while it snows, but this afternoon she did her business and then before I knew it she was actually looking in the patio door and barking for me to open it! She has never done that before. Ever.
To go along with the bad weather, Abby had another round of stomach "flu." We are thinking that this batch may have come from a burger she ate at school. It was nasty for her. I didn't laugh or anything. She and I are quickly on our way to becoming vegetarians in full force. Right now I would label us as "pseudo-vegetarian." For the most part we can easily live without meat but there are certain things (ham and havarti sandwiches or turkey wraps with avocado and russian dressing) that we would have a hard time saying good-bye to forever. We are not going to do the vegetarian thing for Lent like we did last year. We are trying to come up with something else though! Meanwhile, the girl has a very tiny appetite and is not interested in food again. I really hope she is back to normal soon.
Gina is tapering for sectionals for Saturday. She has ALOT of energy and Jerry keeps saying, "Oh now you know how I feel before a race." It's kind of scary actually how alike the two of them are at times. All the girls from swim team dyed a section of their hair purple. It looks really nice on Gina!
Looking forward to the Olympics! There should be some good motivating commercials!
Fitness is a priority in our family. I would like to share our adventures and creative strategies with others. We are a family that enjoys being together, especially outdoors in God's wonderful creation. I believe that strong, healthy parents can influence their children to follow in their footsteps. Run, hike, play, jump, swim and have fun with your family! Let fitness become your way of life........
