A Looong walk

So I really want to get back into walking like I used to. I think when Owen was born I kept walking because I lived around a gorgeous lake and there was a fun park at the end of it for my kids to play at. (miss those days!) Now, with one more little one added to the mix, no gorgeous lake, no playground, and not as much motivation, I haven't been exercising like I want. I decided today that I was going to try to get out, or run on my treadmill everyday, except Sunday, even if it's just for a few minutes. My kids will be happy, and maybe learn to ride their bikes like kids should; I'll hopefully get those happy endorphins, and I'll have more opportunity's to take some beautiful pictures.
That brings me to another thing. I know I take a ton of pictures lately. I feel like I learn with every shot I take, and I really want to get good at photography. That, and I love it! Today was fun because I was outside, watching my kids explore simple things kids notice, and getting a little exercise doing it! We already miss Logan though. Owen asks about his at least ten times a day!

Well, here are my faves from today. I had fun with the shadows! Oh, and my kids aren't that great on their bikes and scooters yet, so my little walk around the block took forever! I really hope practising everyday will help with that! I felt like the only REAL excercise I got was in my arms. It's hard to push a stroller with one hand and a tricycle with the other!

A little red head in this picture, it's really not that red normally, but she does have red highlights, can't wait to see it when it gets long!

This is in the collage above, but I added it again because he looks like he should enter a Ty Pennington look alike contest.......minus the brown eyes.

He does look like Ty Pennington! And I LOVE that expression too! :) That one of Owen up close is precious. And I like the ones of Ellie too. That's a neat idea, taking pictures of your shadows. What am I saying, all of them are great!

Those last two pictures are adorable! I bet it feels good to at least get out, breathe some fresh air, and get a little exercise (even if it is dragging the scooters).
PS- I love Ty Pennington.
