I realize I haven't been posting much lately.
April is kinda the busiest month for me @ work and much of that business flows over into home life too.
Just a couple of quick updates:
1. Got Jackson signed up for soccer again this year. This will be his 4th year playing.
I also signed up to coach - Lord have mercy on us all. I've coached before, but now
it's up to me to know the game and teach it to a team of 6 and 7 year olds.
2. Jackson will be finishing up his University Reading Clinic next Saturday. He will
be one of the featured Readers at the SFU Reading Conference on Friday and then
reading again at the closing ceremony on Saturday! Yay for him.
3. I have been such a work in progress. Since about January, I've been working on losing
my excess weight and in the process started running. I will run my first race ever on May 16 -
a 5K in Cresson. It's very motivating to accomplish a big goal like this, I just hope I make it!
My goal is to finish under 33:00.
I will do a 1-mile fun run next Saturday @ SFU, so I'll
be able to compare my running to others (and realize that I should probably use the term 'jogging' to describe what my level of activity is).
4. Jeremy is in the process of creating a little oasis in our backyard so that we can enjoy the summer. We are planning on cooking out most nights (as soon as the weather agrees to cooperate), and the backyard is the perfect place to have a little picnic area. Thanks, H!
5. Judeman is growing like a weed. He's so chatty and forgets nothing. He's all about scooping in the dirt with his trucks and just being outside all the time. He says, "Mama, I wanna coop in da dirt!"
6. We're all excited about summer coming. We'll kick off summer with a weekend trip to Deep Creek Lake, MD with Dana and Nate. We also just got our tickets to see Jack Johnson in concert in July. The concert will kick off our vacation - concert - Ocean City, Md for a few days - maybe Baltimore/DC on the way home. Just 3 months away - can't wait.
That's all for now. Photos will follow soon (or not). April showers bring May flowers is so true in so many ways.

Thanks for the update...I will admit I was giving up here. Started just following you on FB :) Sounds like you already have a great summer ahead of you. My only suggestion---DON'T compare you running to anyone else's. It is such an individual sport with individual goals. My sister runs marathons--FAST, but it doesn't discourage me from 12 minute miles when that is all I can manage :) I know you can do the 5 k and I am so excited for you! Wish I could be there!
Thanks, Aim! I'm just really nervous - I have no idea what to expect for this race and I just don't want to be the one person who everyone else is sitting around waiting for to cross the finish line. Maybe that should be my goal: Don't be last!
