Go Dad! Go Dad!

I just wanted to do a quick post to say how proud I am of my dad right now.  As I type this he is in his 2nd day of a 5 day bike ride from Lansing to Mackinaw City called the Dalmac.  He has trained for many months for this ride where they ride [...]

Happy Birthday, Bryan!

On this day, August 28th, 13th years ago my oldest nephew, Byan was born.  Wow, he’s 13.  A TEENAGER!  It seems like yesterday I was sitting in the waiting room waiting for his arrival (hence the term, waiting room).  I never thought I could love another child as much as Ioved him at that moment.  [...]

Wordless Wednesday ~ Up He Goes

As I was getting ready this morning Zach wandered off on me.  I found him behind the recliner, just like this and very proud of himself

Crafty Tuesday

Have I been crafty?  No.  The most crafty I’ve been lately is trying to figure out how to get Zach dressed while he’s fighting every step of it and making it last 15x longer than it would if he just let me dress him.
However!  Yesterday I got my first craft project that Zach “made” for [...]

What Have I Been Up To???

Not a whole lot but I keep thinking of these random things and thinking “I should blog that”.  Then the post would be one sentence and what’s the point in that?  So, here are my random thoughts:

Wordless Wednesday ~ He Can Do It

He hasn’t even fully figured out how to crawl and he’s pulling himself to his knees!
As hard as he’s trying to pull himself all the way to his feet this won’t take long at all.  Last night he’d pull for awhile and then have to rest and suck his thumb for awhile.  However, if I [...]

BSM ~ Please Don’t Make Me Nap

We had such a busy weekend that Zach was worn out yesterday but sure didn’t want to nap.  Yesterday he was whiny which meant he was making us miserable so I put him down for a nap.  He cried for about 10 minutes (not screaming, just protesting) and then all was quiet.  This is how [...]

My Last WOW Update

Today was my last weigh-in for my 15 week wellness program this summer (where did summer go)  Basically I maintained since coming back to work after getting Zach.  For the 15 weeks I did:
Lost 11 pounds, 2.5 inches from waist and 2 inches from my hips and a total of 6% body fat.  WooHoo!
They are [...]

Thumbs Up

Zach has discovered his thumb and it’s always in his mouth.  I have such mixed feelings on this.  Yes, it’s adorable but it won’t be adorable forever PLUS this can ruin his teeth (that he doesn’t have).  He might be sucking it all the time because he might be teething (the diaper rash is back).  [...]
