It's been a busy summer for the Toews family. I really do understand now why adults always say, "time goes by so fast." Maybe that is because I am an adult now. :) This summer has flown by. It's been full of travel for us. At the end of May we joined the Bennett family for Thann's Golden Birthday Trip (a Bennett family tradition) to Florida. It was a week of sun, sand, pool, good food and fun.
Just three weeks later we traveled to Seattle/Vancouver for a Toews family trip. We spent 4 days in Seattle and 5 days in Vancouver at Chris' grandparents. It was special to spend quality time with them.
Both trips were a lot of fun, but it is always good to get home and sleep in our own beds.
Chris has traveled a fair amount with his job. During those weeks, Benz and I go live at Gramma and Papa's so we don't have to stay alone.
I've gotten speak at church a couple of time. I love doing it and it helps me get out of "mom mode" for a while.
Bennett and I also began a program called Stroller Strides back in March. It's a workout program designed specifically for moms with little kids. We workout outside (weather permitting) and push the kids in strollers as we run and do interval strength training. It is so great. I absolutely love it and it has helped me get in tip top shape.
Other than that our weeks are filled with time at the pool, or playing at Gramma's "BennettWorld", finding new parks to play at, and drinking lots of iced coffee (yes, it's an addiction). :)
We love being a part of Elevate Church. It's exciting to see the change and growth.
I love being a Momma. I am learning that even on days it's hard to cherish it, because just as I began this post, I now realize how quickly time goes by and before I know it my little Benz will be grown and gone.
