Terrific Tuesdays

I'm going to steal something from Sarah, but change it ever so slightly, from Wonderful Wednesdays, to Terrific Tuesdays. Today I will name a few things that make me feel terrific, and maybe put some pictures up. I haven't put any up yet, because I like this blog to be less like Facebook, and more like a journal....but every good journal has pictures in it, so maybe only on Tuesdays.

Hayden is starting soccer today. This is terrific because Landon and I have been concerned that him living in an apartment has caused him to become a little more overweight that we like. He's like a crocodile. In captivity, he grows larger than he would in the wild. We try to feed him healthily, and give him plenty of exercise, but its not always easy when you're busy doing things, and don't have time to go with him to the park, or for a bike ride. Thankfully in school he gets to play and have gym class and all that, and his doctor isn't really concerned right now, but it would still make me more comfortable to have a backyard that he can go play in at anytime. Soccer will be fun. Sure he'll be the tallest and heaviest kid there, but not the slowest.

Alexander is growing too fast. This is terrific because he's growing! Plain and simple. My little baby is becoming a toddler fast. Part of me hates this, and wants him to stay a baby forever, but part of me is anxious to see what kind of person he's going to be, what his first words are going to be, how many things he'll break before he turns two... It also pushes me to work harder for a house. The bigger they get, the less room I have in this place.

Landon and I are happy. This is terrific because we didn't start out happy. Six years and two boys later we're happier and more in love than anyone else in the world. I really believe that. We've been through so much together that for us not to be happy would be ridiculous. Its about time!

Delicious, delicious coffee. Terrific because its coffee. One day I might indulge on those really expensive beans that come out of a monkey's bum somewhere in Africa. I hear they're the best beans in the entire world.
