Excercise

We have been hot and cold at our house about excercise. We feel so busy with all there is to do keeping up with a growing family, trading kids back and forth, pregnancy and work demands. The excuses seem valid and for a long time we have felt justified or at least very frustrated that we could not fit one more thing in.

Turning 36 changes things a bit though--we have less energy. Trying to keep up with two toddlers might just be the end of us at our current energy levels. We are feeling exhausted and our patience is wearing thin. It's very clear to us that we need to just do it. Make it a part of our life. Give Exercise a prime spot in our day and fit the rest in around it. But we live in Vegas and it's hot. So we decided to go this morning at 6. We actually woke up at 5:30 hoping to get out the door sooner but 6 is when we all finally we're ready to go. 

By 9 though Josh, Kate and all were all ready for a nap. And for the last few hours we've been sleeping to the wonderful sound of a rainstorm and it almost feels like Heavenly Father telling me good job for getting my family up and moving this morning despite all the reasons it would be easier not too. 

Josh inst really a fan of naps anymore --even though he needs one. But, he crashed today at the top of the stairs. :)
