Busy

I know I haven't posted in a while. We've been pretty busy. Andy just got back last night from a TDY to Ft Lewis (he was only gone a few days). The kids were so jealous that he got to visit Grandma and Papa Thornton. He was about 6 hours delayed on his way back (he was stuck in Juneau). But, he made it home by about 11:00 and was up by 5 to go to work in the morning :( So, we haven't really gotten a chance to see him much yet.
It looks like we are going to be busy with all sorts of classes for the next few months. I figure we'll take some time off from everything during the summer so we can enjoy the sunlight and good weather, the new baby, and Andy before he deploys.
Ellie is going to be doing swimming, gymnastics, ballet, highland dance, acting, violin lessons, and maybe jazz.
Kate will be in pre-ballet, swimming, gymnastics, and Girl Scouts.
Lexie will be in dance class and yoga.
We're also doing a homeschool PE class twice a week and a homeschool club twice a month.
Add in doing schoolwork for 4 hours every morning and trying to keep track of Nick and Lexie during the day and I have absolutely no time left :) I did get myself a treadmill though - which I will be picking up from Sears today or tomorrow. I'm hoping to find some time in the mornings to start walking.....
I am definitely starting to feel pregnant now. I can feel the baby moving around all over the place. I'm in that really frustrating middle stage right now. My regular pants are too tight, but the maternity pants are falling down on me. I'm stuck in sweat pants for the next month until my belly pops out some more :)
Well, I need to go and help the kids out with their math. I will post some pictures later today.
