Playing photographer

Here're some things you may not know about our kids:
D just started playing hockey. He's been working hard trying to figure out the skates. He's a great reader.

Miss H is a great singer (she may even get to sing in church with her daddy & brother Sun. if she doesn't get stage fright). She also does a great impersonation of a deaf person. But overall, she's sweet & cooperative.

The baby is almost a year old. He's such a happy little guy- laughs easily & likes to cuddle. He adores his brother & sister.
We sure feel blessed to have these precious little people!

Start of Fatball season

No, I didn't mistype. I couldn't care less about FOOTball. They say "time flies when you are having fun." but when you are watching football, 10 seconds of playtime could drag on for nearly an hour! Indeed you read it right: Fatball. Today is the kickoff for my family's weight loss competition. I call my new diet the "EAT MORE" diet & I'm hoping it will help me lose the rest of my pregnancy pounds.

Here's my diet (nothing is forbidden except excess):
-EAT MORE fruits & veggies
-EAT MORE frequently (so I don't overeat from being overly hungry)
-drink MORE water
-EAT MORE slowly when I do have an indulgence so that a little will go a long way

That's it.
But I'm starting to wonder- how badly do I really want to lose the weight? I mean, it's hard to consistently exercise & there are certain perks to having extra pounds. For instance...

Plus you have a distinct advantage in tug of war games and teeter tottering.

Wish me luck anyway!
