Easter

It was a great Easter Sunday!  All my kids came to lunch and it was the first day off Whole30.  Although I did make a delicious, completely Whole30 meal for everyone.  


No nitrate/nitrite Ham from Trader Joes, Spicy Tuna Cakes, Deviled Eggs, Asparagus and a HUGE salad with all sorts of veggies in it.  

Part of the NOT Whole30 was the Sangria.  I just wanted some booze after 30 days!

Clockwise:  Austin, Sami, Emily, Jake and Daniel


Me with my kids.  I can't believe they are adults.  It's crazy.  They can't take a serious picture either.  It's all good, I love them madly!

Later when my glass light broke I thought my son's cleaning technique was some good thinking.  While I was off looking for the proper dust pan, I came back to this:

Boom!  They are thinkers!

The Foot!

No pain at all.  Not even ibuprofen.  That is better then before the surgery.  Of course it's in a boot.  I've been diligent about wearing it and even put a shoe cover on it to work outside.  This Friday I can start small amounts of time in my shoe.  I will probably keep using the night splint until I see the podiatrist again.  

Yesterday I went to the gym and it felt fabulous!  I used the recumbent bike for 20 minutes to warm up and then just worked out on the machines.  I'm going again today to just keep my spirits up if nothing else. 

I also started reading this book:

 

Many runners have recommended it.  I figured since I was basically starting fresh then I might as well work on my form a little bit.  I bought the book from Thriftbooks (used books) so I can take it to the gym while I pedal the bike.  So far..LOVE IT.

Tomorrow I'm back to work.  Yeah!  I'm ready to get back to life!

Girls on a boat!

On the last day of our trip, when it was time to pack up, the girls stayed behind on the beach to bring the speedboat back to the dock once the houseboat was taken care of. The boys stayed on the houseboat and cleaned as it drove to the dumping (ew!) and gas station.

It was tough work for us gals, but someone had to do it. Plus, three of us got some sweet french braids!




What is THAT?? hehehe


We were docked at the store to get Emily's birthday present and some ice cream!
Yummy!! I had to crop this picture with my sister. The full body version just wasn't that great for me.

Following the houseboat in to dock.

Cody called us and asked us to pick up this lost buoy. We did and I'm not sure if we committed a misdemeanor or it was a "finders-keepers" issue. It was handed safely over to Cody to use it at the dock. Where it probably came from anyway.

Woohoo! Great time!
Thanks Cari! I love you like a sister!
hehehe
