By far, one of my favorite moments of the day was:
Laying on the floor with my beautiful girls.
Well, I was laying here doing my exercise video, and with every transition they were up and down with me.
First, there was "JUMP!" out of sweet Maya's mouth...as she expected us to be jumping all over the house, like flying lunatics, mocking the flying lunatics on the TV! This is pure, simple, and worth the effort entertainment for little ones!
Then, as we went to the floor for the ab routines, they layed beside me; Lydia's little body was smashed parallel to mine while Maya's tiny head crammed itself against mine...crown to crown. Their heels faced the ceiling, as did mine, and my body was barely movable because of my two sweet girls who follow my every footstep and repeat my every word.
The power of a parent!
A few weeks back, we enjoyed a day at the aquarium!
The day measured up to great FUN...and so did WE!
Looking good and strong Aiden!
Such a typical girl Miss Lydia...trying to increase your height with those little tip toes!
Connor, you're getting too tall for the stick!
Mommy...just inches higher than Connor! Oh dear!

Daddy, too tall and cool!
Miss Maya, fighting the reality...yes dear, you are short!
My hubby told me I looked like a little girl all day. That couldn't be because of the back pack? Or the leggings? Or the hair? HA! I've learned that my nice leather purse was being ruined quickly so I now carry a tinker bell bag around everywhere!
Daddy fulfilled his duties well...so long as Maya allowed him to.
We found the queen ant!
And Lydia taught the queen just what real queens do all day long! Yes, we love to talk!

If you can find time to do an exercise video with your busy life, surely I can do the same.
You're such a good example. Not just to me, but your girls will grow up knowing that exercise is important because of your example. Good for you!
I love the aquarium....looks like a blast! I love the described images of your girls, and a wonderful mother they have to look up to!
Sorry to take so much time to re-open and read this beautiful post, Crystal. Last time I opened it, my network was interrupted (hope you'll understand what I'm trying to say... )
You do look a lot more gorges now Crystal... keep on your good work! How I love to see those beautiful children of yours. They such like angels falling from the sky...
