new wheels and alot of lovin'








i am finding it difficult to write a cohesive post as of late, so here is another one filled with randomness.

with the addition of mya comes the addition of yet another stroller (we already have a travel system and single jogger). after much research, questioning others and debate, we decided on this double jogger. thus far it is awesome.

claire continues to be full of love for both her little sister and sophie. the past few weeks we'd been debating on whether or not to keep sophie. she is a smart dog who follows her commands quite well, but she is full of energy. we actually got to the point where someone i work with was going to take her. we sadly decided we couldn't part with the crazy dog, so she is here to stay. hopefully we all stay sane with this decision. so far so good. we have a decent routine which gives her the exercise she needs and tires her out too. i hope it continues.

mya is such a little honey. she is starting to smile when she sleeps. granted these smiles are probably gas, i love them just the same. there really hasn't been a change in her eating or sleeping patterns. when she is awake, she is very alert and constantly looking around as if to analyze her environment.

I know it was an incredibly heartwrenching thought for you and Chris to give up Sophie and I know that it was equally worrisome when deciding to give it a few more weeks. I am very happy to hear that you have decided to keep the little devil and that maybe you have reached a solution. Claire and Mya are both so adorable and it is very clear that Claire loves her very much. With the addition of your new stroller I now know where to go if Hunter ever breaks a leg :-P

Hope to see you soon!

Happy Halloween!

The Halloween festivities are in full swing here. We attended a "Fall Festival" at my school on Thursday evening and today we enjoyed a "fall festival" at the girls' school. We've managed to keep their costumes a secret until Wednesday when Claire spilled the beans. She was doing so well at keeping the secret, I almost thought she wasn't our child for awhile ;) Claire dressed as "Pinkalicious" and Mya was a cupcake. My Mom and Dad bought Claire the book, "Pinkalicious" for her first birthday. It has been an on-going hit with our girls. They both have the entire book memorized. It is such a cute book where this girl named "Pinkalicious" loves pink. She eats too many pink cupcakes and turns pink, which she is thinks is simply beautiful then red, which is less than favorable. She eats her vegetables to turn alleviate her pain. In the meantime, her little brother is envious and devours the last one, then turns pink too. It is a ...

0.0

Yes, indeeedy do. 0.0 is exactly the amount of weight I lost this week. Irritating! Here's the breakdown: number of times I cheated on my diet--ZERO! number of times I worked out--FIVE!! (running, no less). Now that is a mean, mean slap in the face. After I picked myself off the floor and resisted the urge to throw the scale through my window, I've come to realize that it is time to call in the big guns. There will be no messing around. Through a very valuable (HA!--sense the sarcasm) inservice this year, I've learned that I am "Green," meaning logical, research based, problem solver, mathmatical thinker. I am applying the same thought and strategy to my 'get fit' adventure. There will be no relying on the treadmill to tell me how much I've burned. That thing lies, LIES, LIES!! Take for example, the fact that each time I worked out, I burned at least 300 calories--most often 350, my pulse was around 87 (which is pretty much a near death resting ...

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really ...
