One year...already?

Donny will be one year on Friday, July 2nd. WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE? I'm still trying to decide where I'll take him for his 1 year pictures, but keep checking for some to be posted. :o)

First Trip to the ZOO

Yesterday, we took our first trip to the Dallas Zoo. I know Donny is much too young to ever remember the trip, but I figured Braelyn would really enjoy it! She did have fun at first, but then she got tired of walking and got quite whiney. I should have expected this from my child who needs to get her nap regularly! Never have I wanted a double stroller as much as I did yesterday.

Aside from that, we really did have a good time and can't wait to go back again -- but we may have to wait a while. Until then, I'll have to get Braelyn used to walking longer distances. :o)

Donny WALKS

He has a long way to go before he's walking on a full-time basis, but this is a good start...

How did this happen? (After taking more than a week off?)

Last week, Donny was sick. Then it was my turn to be sick, and then we headed out of town for a few days. Needless to say, there was no time for the gym. Even though I haven't been able to work out, I have been trying to monitor my portion size. I don't feel like I need to eat and eat and eat to the point of being so full that I can't function.

Today, I made it back to the gym. I even took both kids to the kids' area, and they seemed to have a good time. We'll be going again on Friday.

I did it!

I weighed myself yesterday morning, and the scale said 182.8!!!! I lost 2 pounds last week. In addition to that, last week was the first week I met my goal of going to the gym 4 times during the week. So far this week, I've already been 2 days. Getting those last 2 days SHOULD be a breeze!

Sure wish I had a gym partner. This could be so much more fun!!
