Growing up too fast

It is hard to believe all of the thing Meredith is now doing. I remember longing for the days when she would be able to do more for herself and express herself more, and now I wish things would slow down a little bit. It seems there is less time to do anything. Especially Blog!!! HAHA. Along with the rest of the world, our last month has been busy. Cory continues to stay extremely busy between work, being out at the Church Property working on the building, and even a side job or two...WOW!! I joined the gym a week and a half ago and so far so good. I actually feel awesome and have enjoyed the hour that I am there. I just knew I would not have more energy....but I DO!!! Eating better seems to be trying as I crave all the things I should not have!!! Isn't that life though? I am really doing better with what I eat and how much. Spring seems to be fast approaching as we have had a lovely stent of great 70 degree weather....LOVE IT!! It makes me feel so good. I cannot wait. It does look like for the next few weeks we will be cold again, and I guess that is okay.



As for Meredith, she told me today.."I am going to my room the get some comfy clothes on." It was so cute. So we found her some sweat pants and a t-shirt and socks and she was happy. We have made it the the Athletic Center for a Puppet show and some free play gym time, which she LOVED!!!

She was doing everything with no fear!! Jumping in the foam pit, balance beam, trampoline, and and even swinging from a rope.

We will go again soon. She came home with some really cute Valentines on Thursday from school. I cannot keep her out of the Candy though.....she has a REAL sweet tooth!!! She loves to be told made up stories about make believe things. She even entertained me with a story about her crashing in an airplane last night....really cute. She loves to play on the computer doing games etc. Avery continues to be her "friend" and she is not very fond of her crying. Meredith either cries too or tries to cover her mouth.

When Meredith wakes up to find Avery gone...she gets so mad and says" Lindsey took her, she took my friend, Avery my sister, call Lindsey, she needs to share." I am glad she loves her so much. All I can say is that I am really enjoying Meredith and the little girl she is becoming! She prayed on her own for the first time the other night.....she named over 30 different people with her head bowed and hands folded. My heart just melted. It started off by her saying her finger was hurt and I told her she needed to pray about it, and sure enough, she did!!
