Feeling nostalgic

I have gone completely digital. One of my best friends became a CM consultant and with her guidance, I decided to make the digital conversion. It is great! I am completing pages in minutes, and will never be behind again! I was browsing through my old pictures and thinking about how my children have grown up so much. In my nostalgia, I decided to create a movie of me growing Tre! I have attached the video, enjoy!

Exciting news!

Oh, I forgot to share in the last post the most recent exciting news. My brother David, the perpetual bachelor, is going to have a baby! Well, not him, but his girlfriend Andrea. Although I was quite shocked at first, I am now very happy for him, and excited that I get to be an auntie again!

Blog Break

Well, I have taken quite a break from updating my blog! I tend to be a slacker at this time of the year. I think it is the post-Christmas let down. I take far fewer pictures of things, and there just does not seem to be much going on. Here are the updates from January to today.

1. On December 29th, I began going to Weight Watchers again. My goal is to lose 50 pounds. I have lost 17 so far. Woo hoo!

2.We had our annual New Year's Eve party. Julienne was quite the entertainer and sang karaoke.




3. Julienne turned five years old in February! I still cannot believe that my baby is five. I am attaching a video of her birthday festivities.






4. As Christmas gift, Libby and Tommy gave us a wonderful gift of a night away for Valentine's Day. We went to Arlington, VA to stay at the Doubletree Hotel. We shopped at the Pentagon City mall, and ate a dinner at the revolving roof top lounge. It was amazing!

5. Tre had an accident at school. He fell of the monkey bars after one child wrapped her legs around him, and another child pried his fingers from the bar. He fell flat on his back and thought he couldn't get up. Luckily I was home that day with a sick Julienne and could make it to the school before the ambulance left. Julienne and I rode to the hospital with Tre in the ambulance. Thankfully, he was fine and only sore for a few days. Both of the other children were suspended for a day. Over half of the parents of students in Tre's class called to check on him that night. The kids each made cards wishing him well and gave them to him the next day. The love and support were overwhelming. Tre is a very loved child.

4. We have decided to try to sell our house. We would like to find a house that is a bit larger, with a bigger garage and more closet space. We will see what happens.
