Last weekend before school - what are you doing?

It’s part bittersweet, part joyous, but the girls go back to school this coming Tuesday! Our oldest is going into eighth grade, so she and her friends will be top dog at middle school. My youngest will be heading into 3rd grade this year, but at a different school - our neighborhood was ‘re-districted,’ as her former school was getting overcrowded. We thought this change would be pretty traumatic for her, but so far she’s been fairly open to it. That could be a reflection of her growing maturity, or a lot of prayer, or both, but if you think about it on Tuesday, send up a few prayers, okay?

As for this weekend, it’s really been a fun and active one. I got up early this morning and took some pictures, then we all went on a 10-mile bike ride before lunch. Later in the afternoon we headed to the pool with the youngest, and now I’m going out to the driving range with the oldest. Sometimes I still am amazed that when given a choice of activities, I’m now really enjoying picking active activities - those that require movement, or exertion, or even a little sweat. But I think I’ve come to the realization that not only do I need to exercise in order to maintain my health, I need to do it set a good example for my girls, too.

So, in this last few days before school starts, what are you going to do to be active?
