Rainy Day at Starbucks

We recently had a soccer game rained out, so we decided to hang out at Starbucks for a bit and read a book. Great snuggles were had by all! Faith attended a tea party after with some girl friends, complete with tea, sandwiches, scones, and necklace making--what more could a girl want!!

I have to share a new deal we've made with the kids. We decided to grant them 15 minutes of video game playing time for every hour of exercise they participated in. Little did we know that Christian would soon be turning into an Olympic athlete trying to earn game time! He went running with me that morning (and several other days since) for an hour, then went out and jumped on the trampoline for an hour, then went to the playground and ran around for another hour! We've even had Faith out running with us. She's built just like her Daddy and runs just like him. Her stride is easy and relaxed and she looks like she could just keep on going forever. Don't you know that was a touch irritating to big brother, who's been running for a lot longer with Mom!

We're looking forward to celebrating Faith Marie's 7th birthday this weekend with a pizza party, soap making, and beading. She had her last gymnastics class for the spring tonight. It'll be exciting to see what our new home has in store!
