aGLEED, it's a beautiful life.

Life is as it should be, I'm sitting here listening to Christmas music (I have been year round....don't judge) blogging all while while watching my beautiful baby sleep.  She is the funniest sleeper. No joke this picture is her preferred position to sleep in. It doesn't matter where she is, she is more comfortable with her head tilted way back. Sometimes when I check on her sleeping I'm honestly shocked at how close she can get her butt and head to touch. She's such a cutie. I love her.


So, we are doing great here now that we aren't super busy going fun places like we've been the past 3 weeks. It also helps that it's cooled off a tiny bit. Our apartment doesn't have AC so it can be super hot with this big window but we manage by sitting out on the balcony drinking cold water. Cameron deals with it by standing in the fridge and freezer. :) 
Let's see, since we've been here in Provo, we've been to Park City for the Parker family reunion; Manti for my old roommate Angela's wedding; and  Logan for my aunt Sherry's birthday and the Brigham City Temple Open house. It was fun to be all of those places, but it sure is nice being home and getting caught up on a few things that have been neglected. {my crafts}
When we're not crafting, Addie and I love going for walks outside. She is such an outdoors girl.  We even met Cameron on campus the other day for lunch. It was so fun having all the other students pass by and  I'm sure think to themselves, "Oh, what a cute little family. I hope my family will be that cute someday."
Cameron is enjoying his classes this semester. He's got a gymnastics class and a diving class that he loves.  I love hearing about all the fun cool moves that he is learning. We've even gotten a demonstration of something he learned in gymnastics. What a treat! He's really strong and good at it.  He is studying super super hard for his next actuarial exam which is November 6th.  He is so diligent. 
I've started running again. Cameron wakes me up when he gets up (somewhere around 6am) and I go for a little run while he is here with sleeping Addie. It's been nice to get out and get a good burst of energy for the day first thing, but I'm still not a morning person so the waking up part can be rough.  I went 3 times last week. I'm not as fast nor can I go as far as I could but it still is mentally good thinking that I'm doing my body good. I have about 7ish pounds left before I'm at my pre-pregnancy weight so hopefully this will help.  
I think that's about all for us here at the Gleed home. I've got some smileboxes of all the pictures of our latest outings almost finished up that I'll post hopefully within the next few days. We continue to see blessings everyday and are grateful for them.

Bathroom. Isn't the tile just like something you'd find in a church bathroom? :)
