Cleaning, more cleaning . . .

Well, the last week and a half has been filled with cleaning and showings and more cleaning and more showings . . . hoping this is over soon! We have an open house this weekend, so I'm hoping that a bunch of people that want to see the house come then. I'm trying not to get discouraged that we haven't gotten an offer yet, but it's hard. Our realtor seems to think we are doing well so I shouldn't be discouraged, and I am trying to listen since he's the professional. Praying for at least an offer sometime soon!

The kids are doing well! Adam has been pretty happy, and has even started playing with Lynsey a bit more the last little while! There has been more and more giggling on his part when Lynsey has tried to engage him in running games, so I'm hoping this is a sign of things to come. He just learned to open and close closet doors, so he was doing that a lot today. When the doorbell rings, he makes a "da-dong" sound that seems to be mimicking the doorbell! I'm hoping this means he has an ear for music . . . time will tell:). Lynsey is just becoming a pre-schooler - no other way to say it! She counts everything, wants to draw things (although she wants us to help her because she doesn't know how and doesn't want to try for some reason) and is trying to work out more and more letter sounds etc. She has some teenage attitude sometimes as well, especially with me. Daddy can do no wrong, but when I tell her to eat her spaghetti, watch out! I am going to have to really be purposeful about not overreacting to her defiance and just being firm and consistent - hopefully it's just a phase.

Just over a month until my race in Canmore! My last run was 6K in 36:07, so my goal of doing it in 35 minutes remains achievable. I think the hills in Canmore will be a bit worse than what I'm running here, but I'm hoping raceday adrenaline can make up for that. It's supposed to snow again tonight (grrr!!) so I'm not sure if I'll be able to run outside this week, but I'm upping the intensity on my elliptical all the time to try and prepare me for the hills. It's hard work, but I like working towards a goal! And I'm slowly losing more weight still - down about another pound or two in the last few months. Slowly but surely I'll make it back to my pre-wedding weight:).
