Our Family Journal

We have some new blog readers (yay!!!) who are thinking I am crazy (stupid??) posting everything and anything, so I feel the need to clarify the purpose of our blog and the numerous entries. My family, whom I am very close to, lives across the country. We talk each and every day (3 sisters + my Mom/Dad = a lot of minutes), but the phone calls still do not fill the void of not seeing them in person. We've been fortunate to see them every 2 months or so, but because we were roomates or saw each other nearly everyday in years past, phone calls just don't compare. To top it off, we have a baby with whom they want to develop a close relationship. Do you get it?? We're tight. Consequently, this blog is a family journal of sorts that they can look at whenever they want to see what we are up to. Yes, I post some dumb stuff, but everything we do is interesting to them. Even Chris and I love to look back to previous entries and review the events in our lives or the changes in Claire. This site is a journal of our lives. In addition to my family, we also left some great friends behind in N.Dak., not to mention those that live near that we don't see near enough (hint, hint) who enjoy checking the site. So, for all you haters or those who think I am crazy, I am not (or at least I don't think so), and for those who like our blog, this blog's for you!! Wow, I feel much better! Who needs therapy when you have a blog??

Well, I love your blog! I enjoy reading it and learning about what goes on. This way, when we do see you, we don't have to spend 3 hours catching up, we can just live in the then! Let me know ASAP about scrapbooking. I am supposed to work the first two weekends of April but am free after that.

Thanks for the kind words. I agree on the value of time. Evidently the haters disagree. As for scrapbooking, I am not sure. Did you want to invite Anna? I am going to invite a couple others, too, so the more the merrier. Maybe we should do the 3rd Saturday in April.

Ana doesn't scrap but my sister and my friend Jill (she was also a BM at the wedding) do so I was thinking about them if possible.

That's right. I was thinking Jill, but couldn't remember her name. That sounds great. Why don't you email me their email addresses and I will send out e-vites. What do you think about the 3rd Sat. in April???

So if I post my scrap book I'll be crazy with you. Although I would have to get past the first page to do so. Then again I guess I have an excuse for a little while longer.

As an aside I love the shots of Claire modeling with her bathing suit. Was she trying to be a bear?

Sweetness Overload

So, we are still roughing it in our amazingly, wonderfully fabulous, new house. That means, air mattresses in our living room. Fun. The girls love it, Chris and I not so much ;) Anyway, the close proximity means Chris and I get to eavesdrop on some very tender moments. They seriously bring tears to my eyes. How did we get so lucky to have them as our children??? Here's one example. Claire--"Mya, can we snuggle?" Mya--"sure." Claire--"don't let go." Mya--"No, I'll just wait until you are sleeping." Claire--"No, you wait until the middle of the night." Mya--"Okay, I'll wait until the middle of the night." Then we hear lips smacking. So cute. I won't share the meltdown that occured moments before this sweetness ;) Life isn't always rosey, now is it? Ha! In other news..we get internet today and our furniture/things tomorrow! That means 1 more night of "roughing it!" Yippee!

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 ...

Claire Crawling

Claire is finally crawling. We saw her move forward a bit on Saturday for the first time, but she didn't last long enough to capture it on video. She finally crawled for a bit longer today. She isn't going very far, but is great to have achieved this incredible milestone. Now Harvest better watch out!
