Long time

I can't believe I haven't posted for a month!  It has been a busy month.  Chris got home from Hawaii and we have been running ever since. I can't actually remember what we have been doing, but every weekend seems to have something going on.

I have been hitting hard with the diet again.  I had gained a little bit in Hawaii, but have lost that weight and a couple more pounds within the last month.  It is a slow journey this time.  Getting frustrating.  I have a doctor's appointment this week to see if there is a reason it is slower, amongst other things. 

Our neighbors have welcomed a new baby girl- Janie Lee into their home last week.  So they now have 2 boys and a girl!  Hope is still there!  ;0)

Caleb has been very wel-behaved at preschool lately.  Since coming back from Christmas break he has only lost 1 or 2 apples a week instead of 1 or 2 apples a day.  Impressive.  He is really showing his intelligence lately too!  Catching on so quick to what they are teaching.  Chris was writing letters and numbers and having Caleb tell his the names- he was saying them all correctly.  I new they had been working on sight words, so I wrote the word 'can' on the board, and he read it!  Then I wrote 'blue' and he knew that too.  I walked off and told Chris to write 'and' and Claeb said he didn't know how to spell A-N-D.  haha!  Smart little cookie!  :0) 

Carter has been growing like a weed!  I was looking at old pictures the other day adn realized how much he looking more and more like a preschooler than a baby or toddler.  Makes me sad to think that he is growing up so fast.  He is still a little stinker, copying everything Caleb does and says.  We haven't started potty training yet.  More a lack of motivation on my part than him not being ready.  He still pees and poops on the potty randomly.  He talks about being a big boy a lot and not wanting to be a baby.  Of course he is a complete chatter bug!  He mimicks what we say a lot!  Often times he will be heard telling Caleb to "Knock-it-off" or "Shoosh his mouth".  haha!  He loves to wrestle and play with Caleb, but is kind of a whiner when Caleb tries to get him back.  Especially doesn't like it when Caleb tries to give him hugs and kisses. 

Chris has also been hitting the diet hard again this month.  We are both hoping to be down to our goal weight by summer or so.  Chris started doing some of the P90x exercise videos.  I have been enjoying and LOVING zumba lately!  I go Tuesday/Thursday mornings and then on the other days I do a video or treadmill.  I haven't been running too much, but am hoping to start again.  My goal for the next week is to run a mile everyday.  Then maybe I will bump it up from there.

That is about it right now.
