My birthday

My 29th birthday was on Friday. And this year my hubby remembered! My day was perfect after I woke up and he said happy birthday with a big hug :) But I was treated even more special after that! With a few gifts, some friends taking us out for supper (which I enjoyed a big piece of cheese cake). Then on Saturday evening we had our college Christmas party (might have some pics of this later)......but they surprised me with a birthday cake. A little hard to be the centre of attention........this is the cake

In this group of college students and staff there are some very talented singers, so it was a very beautiful, fantastic harmony rendition of "happy birthday".

Nap Time Advice?????

Any good nap time advice for this cute 8 1/2 month old!!???




He starting to get a better and better bed time routine.......for a while there, I was not getting a break even in the evenings! I am just not sure what to do.....the crying at nap time is not working.....I have tried (and still might keep trying). Maybe he isn't a text book baby, and doesn't need 2 big naps?????? Please any thoughts!!!


Thank you also for all of your compliments about my weightloss.(referring to a couple of posts below). I do appreciate it. I hope it doesn't seem vain to post such things, but it motivates me and holds me accountable! I personally couldn't believe the difference!

Oh Christmas Tree Oh Christmas Tree La la la la la la

This afternoon we put up our sort sad looking tree LOL and decorated it! The kids had a good time! Rolland is at Walmart as I type to pick up a few things....one of them beign some ribbon for the tree.....to fill in the "holes". :)

Kaelie warming up to the "fire" :)

weightloss update

The weightloss thing is still going pretty good. I have had a few minor struggles, but continue to lose. Tonight we went to a Christmas party for the staff, so I dressed up a bit. Decided to take a picture......after 27.4 lbs down......still have lots to go but I am feeling good and encouraged!
