We are now official members of the YMCA/YWCA of Marshalltown. We held out for as long as we could. I guess we were thinking that at some point we would just decide to be active enough on our own to not need the Y. That's clearly not going to happen. So this month we took part of our tax return money and took a family trip to the Y. The best part of becoming a member (for our family) was the new member tour. Samuel & Elijah's eyes were so huge the whole time. They loved the swimming pool & wanted to jump in with their clothes on. One brilliant move on the part of the Y was to include a well-staffed nursery so that parents can exercise and leave their children for a few hours. Nice. The boys call it "The Maze Room" because they have a huge, mesh maze that they can climb in & jump around in. Whenever I come to pick them up they are always in the maze ... expect for the 1 time I found them playing with Barbies. Yikes. We've signed the boys up for swimming lessons beginning next Tuesday. Elijah wants Spiderman swimming shorts. The search is on. And Samuel is registered for his first season of TBall. Gregor is the assistant coach. This should be fun! Sam wants to wear #12. Not sure why. I've been going to a step class on Tuesday & Thursday nights. I love it & I've lost 5 pounds. WOO HOO!

Awesome! I want to be a member at a health club someday and commit to a class. I think that would be really fun. How great with the swimming lessons and T-ball! I can't wait to play in the pool and watch Sam play this summer! Hopefully that will become a reality.
