It's March?!?!

I know it's been forever since I've put up pictures or blogged. So I am hereby agreeing to update weekly with pictures and a new blog. I encourage you all to hold me accountable, encouraging me to be true to this goal I've set for myself. In the meantime, here's what's been going on in Sohl-land.

Little Sohl Gal and Sohl Son have grown much, much taller in the last few weeks. We've gone up to 3T and 5/6, respectively, and plan that Young Sohl will be fully into 6 month clothing very soon as well.

Sohl Gal's taken up running with a friend. The goal is to run a 1/2 marathon in the fall. It's been easier than I'd have imagined, and though I've never considered myself a runner (nor have I wanted to be one), I'm really enjoying it.

My Sohlmate's finally been blessed with a supply of Arnold Palmer's. We recently learned that it IS possible to mail them, and he's happily enjoying them on a regular basis. Thanks to the Moms for those! He LOVES Arnold Palmer's. OR, as Little Sohl Gal calls them, "Awww BUMMER sodas."

We've reached strawberry season again, and I was able to buy a kilo of strawberries (2.2 lbs.) for 2 euros - cheap, cheap, cheap! I really enjoy going out into town and using my Spanish, and I'm praying that it's improving.

One on One is going well, and I can't believe how much He's growing me each day and week. I'm so thankful for His patience and unyielding love.

I'm out of exciting news to report, so congratulations on the new babies DaWags and Ketch! Thanks for the love and support, Jenni, Tooley, Daph, Hollenrockers, Sarah, and Mom. Miss all of you, love you all, and pray for you, too. Update you soon!

Glad to see you blogging.. I have missed it. We will continue to send the special packages, however not too often as we want to keep them special. I still owe you 2 willow trees. They will be on their way soon.

You'll never know how proud of you I am. You have done things I could only have wished to do. Keep it up. You are a wonderful woman!

Love yo more than you know - Mom

I am so glad you are going to update this weekly! Even with a short blurb of what is going on will be sufficient! I can't believe you are running! But I heard living in foreign countries does weird things to people!!! It is orange and grapefruit season here but I am sorely jealous for strawberries!!!
