PROCRASTINATION









Yes, that is quite an ugly name for a blog post about the "life and times of Lane and Luke", but it pretty much sums up why I have not posted since APRIL! I am sorry, I really am (for all 5 of you who read this blog) ;) A lot has been going on lately-personally, mentally, spiritually and so on. I really have not felt like sharing much with anyone-even in the house I live in. But is that not how life is, phases, processes, ups, downs-we change so much in life. One thing seems to be constant with me-my personal bad habit for PROCRASTINATION. Yes I wish that I did not have this stupid characteristic and could overcome it completely-but honestly I still struggle with it but am working on it. So again, I apologize and will post some pics of the boys since it has been a really long time.

We joined the YMCA a while back and really enjoy it. They have 2 facilities that are really close to where we live. (By the word close I mean about 10 min, this is close in a city like Tampa) One facility has a huge work out room, spinning, aerobic room, junior Olympic pool, gymnastics room, game room, and so forth. The best thing is that they will keep your kids for 2 hours a day while you work out!!!!! SIGN ME UP! That is AWESOME! There is also another facility that has a huge basketball court, Olympic pool, and small little water park for young kids. The boys and I have been going there a lot. They absolutely love it-and so do I. The water is not deep and they are able to run and play while I can lay in the sun and watch! It is great!!!!! Sometimes when I get baby fever I think about laying in the sun while the kids play BY THEMSELVES and the baby fever goes away. ;)

My BABY Luke also turned 2 on March 20th! We had an Elmo themed b-day party for him (per his request of the last 6 months) and he loved it. We got him a bunch of sports stuff and a Big Wheels-he was very happy. And yes we got 2 of them so there would be no fights-but turns out even if you buy 2 of something the kids still fight over the one that the other has. Tell me, does the madness stop? Thank God my brother and sister were so much older than me. The only time I fought with my brother was when he would take my blankets! My little boy Luke is such a blessing and God knew exactly what I needed when he sent Luke to me. His name means "Light of God" and I think it fits perfectly!

Well-I am truly sorry that it has been so long (please forgive me) and promise it will not be this long until the next post. Enjoy the pics! Love you all!
