Days with the Cormier's: Let's catch up!

Hello!

Sorry I've been AWOL for a few days! It's so much fun being home, and I haven't made the time to get these pictures uploaded. Since Lance has been home, we have been wonderfully busy. We unloaded the truck and put the stuff in the garage, pledging we wouldn't get right to it. Well, you know us...we are almost done organizing. There's a lot to do because as we moved into the house, we had to leave in a hurry. Then, with a short stay and a transient off-season last year, a lot was left undone. We want to get these things done, and when Lance and I set to do a task, we work our hands to the bone. We joke that there's no middle ground with either of us - when we work, we WORK! So, needless to say, I think a lot of these projects will get done this off-season!

I have even gotten most of LJ's baby stuff out of his room. His big bed won't be in for a month or two, but I put an Oriole Bird bobble head, a helmet, a baseball, a foam finger and other baseball stuff in the place of his baby cup and plate and some infant pictures. He is ready to have stuff on those shelves to PLAY with , so I packed up a lot of his little baby knick-knacks, (almost tearfully), yesterday and put them away until we may need them again. Eventually, the rocker will come out, the changing table and crib as well. In their place, I want to put a baseball beanbag, an awesome baseball bed, a train table and maybe even this cute table and chairs I've seen for coloring and playing blocks. It will be his haven! He LOVES baseball, so we'll fill it with stuff that catches his interest and makes him want to stay in there, (preferably until around 7 a.m. most mornings!)

Lance and I have been doing this awesome workout class in the mornings - It's called, "Crossfit". You should google it if you have the time. It is AWESOME. It's about a 20-minute workout that absolutely "kills" you - amazing that you can feel so depleted after 20 minutes, but it's great. LJ LOVES the childcare at this gym - in fact, he asks to go in the mornings. He had the choice to stay home with me, and he chose "class". I hurt my back, (not badly), on the Amtrak a few weeks ago, and I've aggravated with the intense exercise and carrying around LJ. I'm going to the doctor today just so I can figure out how to make it better - I don't want to miss a beat because of an aching back. There is too much fun to be had!

Well, that's it for us. Please let me know how you are - I will make the effort to keep this thing up - it's a wonderful log of our blessings - we have so much to be thankful for!!!! Have a great day!
