You HAVE to see Caleb walk in my sister's blog. He just took his first steps on Saturday. What a triumphant thing to accomplish. Maybe it's not that triumphant, but it is exciting.
a MUST see:

bad turned good
I had the best day on Wenesday for some reason, and then when I thought about it, nothing really seemed that good about it. I just think the good things prevailed!
Wednesday, overall a good day, even though it was the middle of the week.
I did my Extreme Cross Training class, which was my 5th time doing it, and I'm still sore! Sore should be bad, but I definitely consider being sore a good thing. It's painful, yet exciting.
Then while I'm hobbling down the stairs in pain, but happy, I go into the smoothie store by the entrance. I've never tried it so I decide to go in that day. I saw my absolute favorite drink... peanut butter and banana smoothie. And to top it off it was called the "Elvis" drink. Elvis is my favorite celebrity of all times. (sidenote: that would be fun to have a smoothie shop, where they all had funky names that were created and named by the customers. Like Bagel and Deli! Ooh, I want one right now.) The girl tells me they are all out of bananas. I said that was okay, and I would just try my 2nd favorite drink, the chai drink. She said they were all out of any chai flavors. Sad.
No Elvis drink. No chai drink. Still hobbling to the car because my legs were so tired. Yet I was still cheery.
I decide to go to Smoothie King and get my Peanut Power drink, smoothie king never runs out of bananas. I got the 6$ drink and it was huge. I sucked on it happily for about 45 minutes. Since it had taken me that long to drink it, you would think I would be relieved it was gone. That last, loud slurp was disappointing that it was all gone. Still, I had forgotten about no Elvis and no chai and was happy about my 45 minutes of Peanut Power.
Then on my way home, I was slightly bummed that it was nice out and I hadn't spent a minute outside, and I was going straight to church that night when I got home. But I looked to my right and saw my first green grass lawn of the year. The first sighting of the new year of the green grass lawn always gives ya a good feeling. I'm glad I have mine documented: In year 2009, a Wednesday on March 25th at about 5:50 pm... green came back.
Then to end the night, we have been having a church service every night for 2 hours. 6- 2 hr. services in a week. I was not too excited about the whole idea Sunday morning, knowing I was going to be attending all of these services... just about 13 hours in a week. But to be honest, it's been exciting to be dedicated to something that is good for me. So, that is just another example of something that seems like it was going to be bad, but was turned good!
No days are without the bad, but what I pray for all of you is that your good outweighs the bad!

Are all beaches old?
I don't know why I thought this was such a funny conversation, but It was...
I was telling my mom about this beach Sparky and I are going to go visit outside of Rio.
I said,"We're going to go visit an antique beach called Paraty."
"What do you mean an antique beach?"
"I mean it's an old beach."
"How can a beach be old, ALL sand is old?"
"I meant it is an old town."
"What makes it old?"
"It has a lot of history to it."
"What kind of history?"
"I'm not sure."
"Oh, ok."
antique? old sand? why old? history?
Leave it to moms to always ask questions :)
