NORMALCY: THE CONDITION OF BEING NORMAL

Well, I'd like to say that normalcy has returned in my life, but that would be untruthful.  The fact is, it has returned to a relatively normal state.  We are fairly settled into our new home and loving it!  We are lacking a few minor things such as furniture, window coverings...but, all in all we are happy with what we have.
My intentions were to take a nice family photo on our front deck after we moved in but with the weather being so uncooperative the weekend we moved (just my luck!) we didn't get it taken.
The kids and I enjoyed our first snow fall.  It was so beautiful out last night when we returned from Parker's hockey game in Fergus Falls that we all were out shoveling and the kids playing on the dirt pile in back and running with the dog.  The dog loved it as well.  She had her nose down in the snow and flipping it up in the air.  It was so much fun to watch all three of them enjoy themselves and have so much energy.
So our rookie team played during the girls game last week.
Madelynn &n Olivia working hard!

The Tremendous Trio!
"We love coach Krier Dawg!"

On a running note...things are getting better!  I am averaging about 30 miles or so now days and getting about 3-4 days of strength training in.  I have been getting back into my routine and trying to lift myself out of bed each morning.  Often times I have not felt like it but love the feeling I get when I am outside or on the treadmill and getting my "runners high".  There is really nothing like it!  
Hope you all are staying warm since winter has finally arrived.  I feel like hockey should just be getting started not almost over...at any rate it, we have had a fun season and will enjoy the last few weeks no matter how fast they may go.
Take care everyone!
