Our Little Princesses

Chris just asked when I was going to update the blog. I am sure my family is wondering the same thing :) Sadly, there isn't a whole lot happening in our lives. I guess that isn't exactly true, we've been doing alot, it just isn't things you'd care to hear or see. My school was on spring break last week, which meant the kiddos and I stayed home and spent alot of time sifting through boxes, organizing, and preparing for our move. I think we've finally finished that task. In one of my boxes were some hair pieces. Claire and Mya loved them and wore them for the entire day, adding their princess dresses to the display. It was rather cute. Princesses and babies are an everyday activity at our house, along with playing school or restaurant. Those are the "go to" activities. Overall, they play so well together. Love these girls to the moon and back.

Oh oh, you think it is a back "RUB?" Sorry for the misinformation. It is a back beat down. Just remember what doesn't hurt them, makes them stronger. He'll learn one way or another ;) We can't wait to see you too. The girls have been toted Jackson along with us on various occasions. They love the birth announcement and looking at their littlest cousin. So darn adorable.

Ha ha..that is cute! Hopefully the girls like him as much in person! A beat down never hurt anyone,right? With the "muscles" Jackson has I'm sure he can hold his own!

Love Ya, j

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 ...

7 weeks

7 weeks has brought a couple of changes for sweet baby Mya. She is eating 5+ ounces of milk/feeding. Mya is much more awake now. She typically sleeps for about 4 hours during the day, otherwise is checking out this big bad world. Mya seems to enjoy our daily walks. She looks around and is a pretty content kiddo. Claire tends to her pacis if the need arises. We've introduced her to the activity mat, which she enjoys if she is left alone; however, given the fact that Claire too is fascinated by the mat and Mya, being left alone is a rare occurence. Mya sits in the swing daily, although she isn't a huge fan at this point. We're hoping to change her ways. She is strong, holding her head for minutes at a time and loves standing on her little feet. Mya has begun smiling. She has done this consistently for the past several days, but it is difficult to capture such an event on film as she stops smiling the moment you break eye-contact. This milestone is such a heart melting one. Th...

Bouncing Crazyiness!

I do alot of online shopping. When you live overseas, you have to. The BX is thrilling, yes, but it changes out the merchandise only so often ;) When it comes to clothing, if you shop at the BX (which I do as well), you can be guaranteed that at least 3 other people will be seen in the same item. Take for example this little gray vest that I bought. The other day, 2 other teachers showed up in the same one. Thankfully, I hadn't worn mine that day, but you get the point. Anyway, several places do not ship overseas. That's where my Mom comes in. I typically have the stuff mailed to her house and she graciously mails it to us. Readdressing the boxes, running to the post office and mailing our stuff is a major pain. I know this, but she's been so great about it. Priority mail is the way to go. She generally mails it priority and we recieve it in a week to ten days. However, I ordered a "jumpy jump" as Claire calls it, well before Christmas. Since it was so heavy and s...
