Family Updates



Here is an update on the last month or so! Olivia is doing really well in school. She is a fantastic speller (that is not inherited from me). She seems to like school for the most part, except the getting up in the morning. She is growing like a weed and will soon be as tall as me. I can't believe how big she is getting. Both her and Claira are in dance and they really enjoy that.

Claira is doing well in pre-school. She can write her name and recognize all of her letters and when she wants to write something I just tell her the letters and she does it on her own. Both of the girls are doing really well.

Ryland is going to be 10 months old tomarrow! He is crawling everywhere, pulling himself up and he cut his first two teeth! He weighed 21lbs 9oz. one month ago! So he is healthy as can be! He loves to follow his big sisters around and play with thier toys. As you can see from the pictures!

Jeremy is going to school still. This is his second semester and it has been a huge adjustment for our family. He is still working full time while doing the school thing and being a great dad and husband! I have had to learn more patience (I am not a patient person) than I thought possible, but I am working on it.

I am officially working on my weight issue. I am tired of looking in the mirror and thinking eeewww so I have been avoiding chocolate, sugar, and pop, and wating calories. I have been exercising! I am now on Day 5 and doing fairly well. If anyone has any advice please feel free to give it.
That is about it for now! Thanks for reading along!

Your family is growing like a WEED! I didnt realize that Jeremy was in school- thats awesome! And good job for deciding to be more aware of your health! You are on the right track. Just dont over do it! Going cold turkey on those things can be pretty tough. Take it one day at a time. When I am faced with a temptation for junk food or sweets, I tell myself: Make the healthy choice. Then, it is just a matter of making it to the next opportunity for that choice. It helps me to stay centered and clear of my intention for health. You can do it! You've got my support! And with your amazing skilllzzzzz in the kitchen, you are sure to find some amazing happy healthy recipes to help you along the way!
You go girl!

Hey Carol, it has been a while! We are sort of looking at houses again and we are not liking the realtor we have and we were wondering if you father-in-law would be interested in showing us houses again? I have lost his number text me or e-mail if you wouldn't mind.
Thanks so much
