Fun Day

Today it was raining, so after pre-school, grocery shopping, nap & lunch...we headed over to Discovery Gateway.  The kids have so much fun there.  And it's nice because Cam is old enough that he knows to stay on the main floor, so I don't have to be right at his side all the time.  And Roo is old enough to really enjoy the activities now.  She loaded up her grocery cart at the Market, she drenched herself at the Water Table, and both kids could spend hours playing with the Ball maze.  Both kids came home exhausted & hungry....but so happy.  Mom too!

Roo's appetite has picked up lately, I think she's growing.  She eats everything in sight!  Just a few weeks ago, I couldn't get her to eat anything.  Her newest favorite food is peas.  And pears.  And sandwiches.  She wouldn't touch any of those until a few days ago.  Her red, itchy skin seems to be getting a little better.  Thanks to my sweet friend, Becky's suggestions, we now have a "sodium laureth sulfate FREE home."  Apparently this chemical is in a TON of normal products...shampoos & soaps.  It's really irritating to the skin.  So we've replaced everything in our bathroom and at our sinks with brands that don't have it. 

I have been staying busy with my Relief Society Secretary calling.  Meetings, visits, more meetings, and lots of time on the computer updating information.  The four of us meet each week as a Presidency, and I have come to LOVE these beautiful women so so much.  We have amazing discussions about the Gospel and the women in our ward.  I almost feel like a missionary again because my mind is constantly being focused on how I can love and serve them.  I testify to you all that true happiness comes when we serve others.

Nate has started classes up again for the summer. He's SO ready to be done with classes in December.  I don't even really know what it's like to have a husband who doesn't have homework to do every night... although when he's a teacher, he'll have to grade homework every night!!  We're heading down to Glenwood for Memorial Day weekend and can't wait to go 4-wheeling, fishing, boating, bike riding, running, and relax at the house.  It'll be a much-needed couple of days!!
