Well, Lance headed out to NY today, but we got to have some of the day together before he headed out. We went to MAC (Maryland Athletic Club) across the street this morning. It was our "introductory session" and Lj's first day at the childcare. He didn't cry at all when I left, but in the 45 minutes I was gone, he began to miss me. It was enough time, though, to get the "session" in and see where everything was.
My introductory session was extensive -- blood pressure, large questionnaire, sit-and-reach test, strength test, weight check complete with body fat screening...breaking down exactly how many pounds of fat you have in your body vs. pounds of lean mass. It also calculates how many calories YOUR body burns on its own, without any movement each day. Any movement, exercise, etc. you add to it increases that amount. It was very educational! LJ and I are headed back in the morning for my first real day there and his 2nd in childcare. The "teacher" was wonderful -- once again we are blessed in a situation where we feel a little uncomfortable!
After the gym, we all came home and cooked some red beans for lunch. Lance cut the sausage and I finished up...LJ fell asleep in the chair with me, so we laid him down for a quick nap while we ate some lunch on our own. It was kind of nice.
LJ woke up, ate some red beans, too, then we all headed outside to play with Rookie. He needed the outing, and we enjoyed some good time outside. We had to bundle up, though - it was chilly and windy out there. Definitely not, to my dismay, a day for biking.
When we came in, Lance finished packing ( he did all his own laundry and packing -- a HUGE help) and we just enjoyed some time before he left. He gave us both a big hug, and LJ and I did some cleaning up - (see the pic).
This evening, we went to whole foods and picked up some food - good stuff and a fun trip. They had tortilla chips that LJ could munch on (samples), so it was an easy visit. We came home, had some dinner ( LJ actually tried his first fresh carrot tonight and ate half) and then went out to play with some friends. Averie and Hudson are Jeremy and Jenny Guthrie's children and we played with them on the terrace level of our apartments. What fun! Little Hudson bumped his eye, but overall it was a great night for all of us out there.
Fun times! We are already missing Lance and looking forward to his Sunday arrival back home, but we will find some fun things to do to keep us busy while he's gone. What a blessing to be in such a fun place, huh? Hope you had a great day - we miss you!
Love,
Jamie
