Some Normality

January was a very normal month.  It was a very welcomed normal after the holidays.  Once again, I wish I had more pictures.  I'm going to try and take more this month.  I am determined.  I don't even have any of Aydri in here.  Oops.

Here is Kendi doing an experiment.  We learned about how boats float.  Who knew that things float higher in salt water than in fresh water?  Not me.

We also went to the Dinosaur Museum.  We've been reading Dinotopia.

I have been trying to exercise again.  A lot of people roll their eyes at me when I talk about how hard it is to exercise.  I know what it's supposed to feel like to exercise normal and when things are feeling not good for you.  I haven't been able to exercise my entire marriage without getting down and out sick after one week.  So I started out at five minutes a day.  I got sick along with the rest of my family and took off about two weeks and started again.  After a week I upped it to 10 minutes a day, then 15 minutes after another week.  I am now up to 20 minutes a day, but the joint pain I used to have is coming back so I've backed off to every other day and I'm hoping to find some herbs to help.  I can't believe that I've been able to exercise long enough to build some endurance.  It feels so good to realize I'm stronger than I was a couple months ago.  I know this sounds pathetic, but it is huge to me.  I hope I'm in good enough shape by summer time to do some serious outdoor adventures this year.
