Things kids say...

Our girls have been very "into" finding bugs and all things nature lately. Their latest victim were 3 moths. They kept them hostage in a tupperware container for a few hours until I finally forced Claire to let them go free. She did and they didn't move too far. We left for our trip to Belgium and when we returned, Claire immediately went to check on the moths. She came in and said the following:
"Mom! Guess what??!! God came to visit while we were gone!"
me: "What are you talking about?"
Claire: "Before we left, the moth was out on the patio, not moving and probably dead, but God came and took it up to Heaven with him! That's so great!"

She then went on to say that she was going to go outside and pray for the moth. These stories warm my heart. She is getting it.

Mya says some of the cutest things as all kids do. One that we were reminded of and don't want to forget is "smooky" or "spooky" to everyone else. She is now able to say her 'ch' sound without the frontal lisp. Sadly, I think it will be only a matter of time until the cute Mya lisp is history. Just another reminder that our little girl is growing up.

Nate told me to tell ya, it looks like Claire is going to be his new hunting partner. At least she prayed for the innocent moth she killed! Too funny! Can't wait to see you all, it's getting closer!

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...

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 ...
