Easter 2008

You will notice the dates on these pictures are from yesterday...


I got the girls all dressed up yesterday when it was warm outside and took some pictures because I knew the weather would not be as warm today. I think the pix turned out pretty cutie!



This picture is of Neilie at my mom and dad's house. It was acutally taken today (Easter). We are very fortunate... we have all our family here close to us. My family is here and Neil's is also. We are able to spend time with everyone on these special occasions.


Here is my favorite picture of Claire Bear! She is precious! I can't believe how much she has grown. She is growing so fast! What cuties Neil and I have!!!


This is the first picture of just the two of us in probably a year or more. It is nice to see the two of us together!

HAPPY EASTER!!!

Long time - no post

There are a couple of things I want to share with you all. the first is....

The FLU!
I will begin by telling you all that we are just now getting over the flu! Last time I posted, I thought Neil had a stomach virus... turns out it was the flu. My sweet Claire Bear was the next to get it on Sunday. I took her to the doctor on Monday and they tested her nose and said it was the flu. Then on Tuesday, it was Neilie's turn. We called the doctor, they called Tamiflu in for her but it made her soooooo sick. I wasn't sure what was worse the flu or the throwing-up. I knew it was coming I tried to ignore the signs. Thursday morning, there was no denying it anymore... I had the flu too. I was out of school on Thursday and Friday then had the weekend to rest up. The doctor said with Claire it would be 7 days maybe longer before she was back to feeling good. That has been the case for all of us. As the 7 day mark comes for each of us there is improvement. It was a "bad-kinda-sick"!

Next is...

Weight Loss update.
I didn't go to WW last week because I thought I was dying from the flu. I went this week and lost 1.4 lbs. That puts my total at exactly 57 lbs. I have 20 lbs to go until I am at the top number of my weight range. After losing 57 lbs... 20 seems to doable! I do not want to become over confident with this program. It is a program that works if you do it correctly. From past experience, when i get to this point.... i begin to get over confident and mess things up. Actually, I have never lost 57 pounds before! That is a huge accomplishment for me. I know this is probably TMI... but i am wearing a size 12 comfortably ( i haven't done that since before I got married!) I was wearing a 14 on my honeymoon! I am just so excited about that... I have to share!

Last to share is...

My sweet baby Claire Bear turned 10 months old on March 11. She will be 1 on May 11! I can't believe how this year is flying by. My baby isn't so baby anymore. She is crawling, trying to walk, pulling up on things, saying MaMa, DaDa, NaNa... something that sounds like "sister". She has four teeth and is getting more in. I have a cure picture of her in the laudry basket. I will post it next time I post. Hope you all enjoyed the update.

Love you guys!
