Swimmin

We went swimming today. This picture is from a few days ago, Abbie and her cousins were trying out her "slip and slide." When I got home today, it just seemed like a day to be in a pool. Abbie's cousins Jake and Zach were over and I asked if they wanted to go. They have a pool in their subdivision. Once I said swimming, Abbie was all for it. She said "swim, swimmin," to me about 20 times in a minute or two, so we went swimming. Abbie loves it. She has a floaty vest that she wears, but she is pretty brave when it comes to getting a mouthful of water. She knows to kick her legs and really has a ball with it. If Daddy hadn't gotten sunscreen in her eyes, it would have been the perfect time. I hope she continues to enjoy swimming and that we can keep giving her those opportunities.
Tonight, I worked out. It was the first vigorous workout I have done in almost a year. Anyone who has seen me recently will attest to this. I got my Garmin out and hooked in to the new computer, so now I just need to push myself some to get back to running. I think 3-4 weeks of regular workouts on the eliptical and I may be able to venture onto the track. I will keep you posted, keep your fingers crossed.
Have you ever had one of those miniature tape recorders for notes and stuff? I have one and I did not even have to pay for it. It is the Abbie Kay Young virtual repeater 3000. She has a nack for spitting out whatever goes in her little ears. At times it is funny, sometimes embarassing, and sometimes downright scary. I enjoy getting her to say "hi, thank you," and "you're welcome," even though she can still get the timing mixed up. I may try and get her to read her favorite book for you all soon, so keep watching. Have a good week.
