Spring Break Continued...

Life is getting back to normal here for the last "Hurrah!" before school gets out.   We are bopping along getting excited for this season of spring and then summer!

 I refuse to worry about life events I can't control or change, and our miscarriage is such an event.  Thankfully, we have two children to keep me occupied, and I am just determined to continue with a positive outlook on my many blessings God has given me! So we are moving on from here;-)

Spring break was terrible weather, but we resolved to have some indoor fun none the less!  Even though we didn't go anywhere, I asked Alex to take a day off to play with us, and he did!  We had a blast in Kansas City at the aquarium and the "train" restaurant as Rowan refers to it as! It was nice to break the normal routine and just go be together as a family.
The kids loved looking at all of the sea animals at the aquarium!

They were so excited to receive their food from the train!
 Dad took us to the Discovery Center on Saturday!  Rowan hung close to Alex, and I managed Isla.  It was fantastic, and I'm fairly certain they both had fun!

Rowan freestyled his woodworking!

Isla dug and turned and gathered these little pellets for a LONG time!
Alex has been crazy busy at work lately, and I am crazy busy with my spring schedule at school.  Between track meets, meetings, my Washburn class, and Alex's overtime, it has been a miracle that our house is still in one piece:-)

I went out and ran for the first time in a long time tonight with 2 friends.  I made it the better part of a mile which was a greater distance than I anticipated, and I actually had a short amount of time where I felt a peace come over me.  I need to resolve to better manage my time to not work every waking hour! Life is just too precious to work your whole way through, so I must resolve to just "be."    This is my goal for this next week, at least until I look at the calendar;-)
