The girls and I made some new friends last month - woot woot! It was getting a tad dire here in the Shephard household! Chandra, Ella and Nolan have been meeting us at the base track where Chandra and I are working off those baby pounds! We load the kids up in our double Bobs and then run a few laps around the track stopping at certain points to punish ourselves with push-ups, squats, lunges and tri-cep dips...you know, all the good stuff.
There isn't better motivation than having a friend who expects you to meet her to get your butt in gear, which is EXACTLY the motivation I need.
Afterward we reward the kids with a picnic and the playground. Evelyn absolutely LOVES the slide and has discovered the thrill of going down head first!
"That was awesome."
"Let's do it again!"
What a little stud.
Ella loves the slide too!
Typically while I'm running around the track (and wondering how much longer I have before my heart flies right out of my chest) I think of any other place I would rather be and usually it's right here...I imagine this is what heaven looks like.

This particular day there happened to be a puppy at the park. To say the girls were thrilled would be an understatement.
