Dear Scott (headed home yet?)

Today I went to the gym (for the first time since the broken leg - A's that is!) - I did Circuit Training with my friends Nicole & Tanya. It was fun and it was harder than I had expected it to be - but great! So let's calculate this friends, bike Friday, bike Sunday, Circuit Training Monday - oh and I also did my bike again tonight! BooYA! Now here's the part that is ticking me off - my scales are going UP! Yea, yea - muscle weighs more than fat, blah blah blah! It just stinks to work hard and see that. I'll just keep working, I know it will go down. FYI I have been swimming consistently for five weeks and biking for two - so I didn't just start last week and expect some miracle.

This morning after working out I felt great - I said to Z, "this is going to be a great day!" He looked at me and said, "are we going to the circus?!" Apparently our versions of 'a great day' differ slightly.

No more potty news from A - every once in a while she wants to go but nothing consistent and I'm not willing to train myself right now so I'll continue to wait for more signs from her.

K got her braces off today! We celebrated with the forbidden food of chips and queso - hey no comments about my scale going up based on my queso intake (I didn't eat that much!). I'll get a picture soon of her beautiful smile! She looks great - always has but now it is a little less metallic.

B's a little under the weather -a cold and sore throat. If it doesn't get better I'll take him to the dr. soon. Until then it isn't slowing him down! Yesterday we celebrated Sabbath Day with our church - amazing fun and wonderful relaxation! We went to a Christian retreat (that surprisingly is about 10 miles from our house - had no idea!) and we prayed, swam, ate, watched a puppet show, and swung off a rope swing into the river. Some of us even got to canoe and swim in the pool. Next time I'm going to rent a big bus and go around and collect more people! Seriously I was so sad that some people didn't come - it was incredible!

Dr. Who is calling me - actually Jason is but he's wanting me to watch Dr. Who with him so I've got to run. Tell me when you will be here Scott!!

Wow, Sherry - You must be developing some muscles!! Good work! I love Z's comment: Are we going to the circus?! Look forward to pictures of K's new smile and hope that B feels a lot better soon. I guess that A must be walking a little better each day!
Love, bmg
