One of the reasons we got a dog was to encourage us to get more exercise. Every night that Paul gets home early enough, we go on a walk. We have really enjoyed this new habit. It's a time when we can talk, the kids get some exercise, we enjoy nature, the dog gets exercise and we are not distracted by the other 1000000 things we have to do the second we get home.I love it and hope the winter won't put to much of a damper on our new habit.
We realized on our last walk that we better enjoy this moment in life when we are not racing from one after school activity to the next. I have a feeling that life is about to change in a big way in the next few years. Parenthood seems to be a lot about learning to give up your personal time and hobbies one little bit at a time over a long period of time until you almost forget that you ever had any personal time or hobbies and by the time you have forgotten, you suddenly have some personal time again and you have to try to remember your hobbies again. I'm thinking that maybe in a year or two we might try for a baby girl, so if that works out, then I forsee that I might start having some personal time during the day again in about 7 years. hmmm.... how about that? :)

LOL. I am so with you. Personal anything is a dream at the moment. And Sara is not even ONE...yeah, someday right?? But I am loving it right now (or really trying to), even if it is SO hard and crazy at times.
I am excited to hear about your 7 year plan! Girl!!??!? - I hope it's a boy!! he he - then maybe you'll have as many as we will...
You always amaze me with the projects you accomplish even though you say you have no free time during the day!!:) I wish we lived nearer to each other so we could have -no free time during the day- together! and do quilt projects and stuff!!
