I have never been a morning person. . . until now! I am starting to really love morning time. It is so beautiful in the morning around here. It is getting chilly, but you see the most amazing things as the sun rises. The glow of the sun hits the hillside and it is beautiful. There are always dew drops that make little rainbows on the grass. The air is fresh, the day is new, and I love it!
After I walk Sammi to school I go for a run. It is so nice. I have just Daniel and William to push, it is a nice change. I bundle them both up really well so they are comfy and warm. I love to get my run out of the way in the morning too, then I do not have to think about it at all - I find my days are much less quilt ridden and more full of life and joy!
So, Charles rides his bike to and from work and I walk Sammi to and from school. We have managed to only use our car on Sunday for church, and Friday night for grocery shopping. Our gas savings is awesome! Plus we are getting exercise and we get it done during the day. When Charles comes home at night it is our time. I LOVE IT!
We have been eating dinner together ever since we moved here. We eat in our lovely dining room. I have dinner ready every evening before Charles gets home - it is amazing! We have never had that in our whole 8 years of marriage. I am starting to understand the "giving up what you want now for a greater future good". After struggling through college - I am loving this family time!
Charles will be sworn in on Thursday as a licensed attorney. I am having trouble finding a babysitter - I may not be able to attend. :-( No kids are allowed. It is right as school is getting out and all of my friends here have 3 children (or more) and have to get them from school. Hmmmm. . . sometimes you wish family was around! We will see what happens. Charles will go no matter what!!
That is all for now!
Lots of love!

Baby van Ormer number 4 (And likely final van Ormer child -- more on THAT later.) Coming MAY 2012!
We arranged for Joe to get sworn in privately with the local judge and all the kids and his family members got to come. It was really neat. I hope you get to go!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat time is the swearing in? I could drive down and help out but I have a Dr. appt. and wouldn't be able to leave until about 10:00 at the earliest. Boise is about 4 1/2 hours from here. e-mail me with your phone number and give me the details. I'll come if I can get there in time.
ReplyDeleteLots of love!!
Oh, I hope you get to go!!
ReplyDeleteI've never been a morning person, either, but now I have to get Julia to school by 8:00, and we walk. I push both kids in the sit-and-stand stroller. Then after we get back from dropping her off, I switch James to a smaller stroller and we go for a longer walk. I love how it feels to be out walking at 8:00 AM!!
