I can't believe ...

my baby is almost 9!


On the 28th, Eli turns 9 and I can't believe how lucky I am to have such a great kid. He makes me so proud everyday. He is a good hearted kid who makes me laugh. I watch him and realize what a gift I have been given.

I love this kid and can't wait to celebrate his big day!!!

The Colors of My Rainbow

I love this quote and when I read it, I think about my boys ...


~ When it looked like the sun wasn't going to shine any more, there's a rainbow in the clouds, ~
Maya Angelou


These are the Colors in My Rainbow ...
Without them the days would be dull and the rain would not bring brightness and growth ...

My Weight Watchers Partner ...

O.k., so I'll admit it ... I need to stop using the "I have 2 baby boys and just have not gotten around to dropping my baby fat" excuse. Specifically, there are two problems with this excuse...

1. My boys are almost 3 - no longer little babies..

2. One of my boys is adopted - thus the "you look really good for having twins" comment does not apply.

So, I have decided to step up and get some help to lose some of this extra padding. About 3 weeks ago, I joined Weight Watchers. So far I really like it. I think it is true what they say that the extra support is very helpful. I am especially fortunate as I have a weekly partner. I would like to introduce you to my WW Meeting Partner ...



Yep - Kellen has taken it upon himself to become my weekly escort to WW meetings. Our little toady is up every morning at 4:30 or 5:00 and meetings are at 7:30. Saturday mornings Kellen is up and ready to go and if I try to leave without him ... let's just say it is not pretty! Oh well, who doesn't need their own cheering section when fighting the battle of the bulge?
