What am I "back to"...?
Well, I am back to the gym. Sigh. It has been a very long time since I have done any physical activity other than carrying Matthew around and lifting loads of laundry :) I was excited to get a great deal on a gym membership for the next couple of months and joined with a friend. Today was the first day...yikes. Within minutes of being on the elliptical, laundry was sounding pretty good :) Thankfully I survived, and even did a 10 minute run. Pretty pathetic after my 10 mile run last summer, but still, it's a start.
I am also back to helping out at youth group. I took some time off to get adjusted to life as a mom, but lately have been feeling really ready to get back to it. I missed all the students and leaders so much!
Basically, I'm starting to feel like I am back to life outside of my house :) It's been weird in some ways to be at home so much, but so wonderful and relaxing too (if I block out of my head the 2am diaper changes and sickness and all that!). After almost a year, I am off my headache medicine and not having jaw pain. Guess it was stress after all!
Life is good. No, not just good. Great! It is more than I ever hoped for and I am so thankful that I can stay at home with my little man. I wouldn't change it for the world!
And now, here are a few random pictures of my dog, Daisie. She's been a little overshadowed lately by a certain adorable someone :) And she's kind of begging for attention these days!
I'm sure she'll be happy to know she made it on the blog!

your dog makes me laugh, it is like he was posing for the camera!! haha.
I too was totally just home when Grace came home, I did not get involved in anything from May -October. I gained about 10 pounds...and i remember the feeling of being a little disconnected from the rest of the world. It is a good feeling to get back in the groove again..seeing friends, making plans..it took me a while to figure out that she can just come withme for everything too, and she does wonderful!
Oh...your dog is adorable. Yes...looks like some attention is desired.
I know what you mean about finding time to work-out...it is hard.
way to go! and daisie is TOO cute... what a baby!!! i love it!
Isn't it nice to gain back a little bit of normal? Good for you!
And That Daisie... what a sweetheart!
Good for you...I wish I like to excercise. I can't believe there are ppl out there who do!!! I love your dog! "Attention to me", "Attention to me please"..lol
Nice to have your own little getaways and things outside of the home to do! I think every stay at home mom needs that...and Daisy is too cute!
Thanks for stopping over to my blog--your Matthew is such a cutie!
I'm glad you are loving life!
