Ok so WOW its now late October and I just realized I have not updated our blogspot since Feb. Well here we go…..
Ryan & I are doing well. He is busy with work and trying to hit his goals for the year. That means lots of alone time for Barrett and I since daddy is at the office. We don’t mind though because the time we do spend together as a family is quality. Ryan has also done really well this year with adopting a new lifestyle of eating healthier and working out. He has lost 38 lbs. this yr. and is continuing to lose each week. As for me, in March I ran my 1st 1/ 2 marathon. I finished the race in 2 hrs. 55 min and 5 sec. I am proud to say that I did that at a whopping 205 lbs. Since then I have adopted the same healthy eating & workout regimen as my husband and am proud to say I have lost 38 lbs. since then. I have an additional 27 lbs. left to lose to be at my target weight. I am also in training for my 1st full marathon which I plan on running in November. I am also in the process of obtaining my study materials so that I may test out and get certified as a personal trainer. Please let me know if you would like me to train you! So like I said things are going well for Ryan & I. OK ….so to answer the BIG ? that EVERYONE KEEPS ASKING????? When are we going to have another Child? WELL……….. ha ha ha Fooled you…. We still haven’t decided when or if that will happen yet. I will say this…. For those who don’t know we Lost 3 children trying to get our son. It was a very difficult pregnancy for me, once I did conceive Barrett, and I am not sure I can handle going through that again. With that said we are not completely closed off to the idea of another child so I guess all of you out there will just have to wait and see if and when it happens. LOL Stay Tuned….
Now on the one who really matters…… Barrett! Well this Year he has grown 4 inches. Barrett has learned how to spell his 1st, middle & Last names. I have been working hard with him on his school work & am proud to say that he has learned much this year. In Geography he can now locate Texas, Louisiana, Florida, California & Colorado in the U.S. map and tell you what all of them are. In Math He has learned how to count to 20. In Language He can say” where is the…” & Cat, dog, house, aunt & uncle in Spanish. Barrett knows his Numbers 1-10 in both German & Spanish. And in Reading he can look at the alphabet and recognize most of the letters (still working on a few). Barrett has performed in several church programs, singing his heart out like a champ. In some cases he would sit down, dance or fidget like a champ but mom and daddy were still super proud. This year’s biggest accomplishment however is that he……. Wait for it…… Was fully potty trained, including nigh time (no bed wetting) all before his 3rd birthday in June.
OK well I better go but please stay tuned for more updated. I can’t wait to bring you all the updates & pictures from Halloween, thanksgiving & Christmas.
