A crazy month

Workout:  3 mile tempo run - beautiful, sunny, 70 degrees!!! I don't even know where to start so I will just jump right in.  We moved to southwest FL.  Matt got a job as assistant principal at Estero High School, and we had 14 days to move 1200 miles.  I must say that brutal winter we were having in the midwest made this quick move A LOT easier!  Ha - but check this out.  Lyla didn't have a pair of boots all winter (I know, I know. I'm a terrible mom for not buying her any).  As we are cleaning out the basement I found 2 pair stashed away in a tote.  Oh my gosh, I was so mad!!!  OK, anyway...... So we moved on a Friday.  Lyla's last day of school was Thursday and we had to say goodbye to the BEST TEACHER EVER!!!  No, seriously.  She is amazing!!  She didn't make me want to get back into teaching, BUT she made me wish I could go back in time and redo the 7 years I did teach.  Not that I didn't love my students, but I didn't love them the way she loves her

Galena - Part II

Workout: None.  But I did pack and clean like a crazy lady and now I am sore.  That must be equivalent to some sort of workout;) The only good thing about the crazy amounts of now we have had is the awesome sledding hill that was at our resort in Galena.  I suppose skiers are pleased with the abundance of snow as well....anyway.... Awwwwww!  So cute.  My niece, Maya, riding down on Lyla's back.  Their smiles are awesome! Luke is getting drilled with snow.  I love that I captured this face! Okay, so obviously I haven't mastered capturing a moving target.  But good enough.  I see her cute face! Fourth times a charm I suppose.  Actually, this is more like the 28th image, but I FINALLY got a good picture. Too cute not to share.  And I thought the background was really pretty, too!  There was also an ice pond right next to the sledding hill, as well as cross country skiing and snow shoeing.  So much to do within the grounds.  The weekend went by way too fast,

Galena - Part 1

Workout:  None I love my family, and I love vacation.  Put them together and you have a great weekend!!:) We rented this house at Eagle Ridge Resort up in Galena, IL.  If you are local I highly recommend this place.  It is one of the most beautiful places in IL.  The resort "territory" has hundreds of gorgeous homes with amazing views.  Go get away for awhile - you won't regret it;) We ate and ate and ate.  Because what else could possibly be more fun?? The kids stayed up too late watching movies.  But on vacation bedtime doesn't exist.   And once the kids were settled I did what I do best:  Eat, read, and drink Coke!!
