For weeks, Millie has been asking me to start a blog, as a friend of ours does a wonderful one for her family.  "Mom, you need to do a blog.  Write about stuff you are good at.  Like cooking!"  Now, Millie is not known for her Culinary appetite.  Mac and Cheese and PB &J are what she enjoys...so it was nice to hear an actual cooking compliment! :)

Nevertheless, this is my fourth attempt at starting a blog.  I really want to document the daily goings-on of our family so that years from now I remember the deliciously beautiful moments of having young girls (and also to remind me of the exhaustingly complicated moments as well).

So, today?  My girls love watching me do my workouts at home.  Right now I'm in the middle of Insanity: Asylum, Volume 1.  Today they joined me in a workout and Beaner said, "I"m pretending to be Shaun T."  Millie replied, "OK, then you better have some pretty nice abs!"  Then looked at me, "Hey mom, where are YOUR abs?"  I mumbled something about Shaun T. not having children, then jumped higher and worked harder during that workout! 

I do love how active the girls are becoming, and I like to think that the fact that I workout often and talk to them about it has something to do with that.  Millie loves cheerleading, gymnastics, softball and dance; Beaner loves gymnastics, dance and soccer.  Plus both girls participate in a kids triathalon every summer, pictured below is their first last summer.  Millie placed third in her age group!
