Usually Lorena and I drop the kids off at their piano lesson on Monday nights and then go out to dinner together so we can have a chance to be alone together and talk about what is going on in our life. Last night, I got home late, so Lorena, Kelly, and Christian were already gone, so I mowed the lawn just before it rained. Our neighbors, Hank and Sue had a little sod left over from putting in their lawn, so they gave that to us. They have decided to sell their house. They have been great neighbors so it is hard to see them go.
I have been getting a lot of exercise working on the lawn and I have been faithful in using the NordicTrack ski machine, so my weight is really starting to drop. I just finished my second week of exercise and I am already down six pounds to 194. I am hoping to get down under 160 before the end of the summer. That might be too low. I will just have to wait to see how I feel after I get down to 170 to decide where I really want to be. It is very nice to be on a program that is working. I watch what I eat a little, but the exercise appears to be doing most of the work.
Planning: The Sonlight catalog is still not here, but I have been going to their website and I believe it is going serve us best just to follow all of their program as it is written for a little while so that we can get our feet under us. Maybe we will make some changes after we have been in it for awhile, but in looking at the list of books provided, it looks really super. I do not want to make homeschool and odious task for either Lorena or the kids.||Usually Lorena and I drop the kids off at their piano lesson on Monday nights and then go out to dinner together so we can have a chance to be alone together and talk about what is going on in our life.
