It's Been A While!


Wow--I can't believe it's been so long! My, how time flies!!! I posted a couple of recent pictures of the boys above...Ian, our little "king," and Zach helping Grandpa shovel the snow in Iowa. Let's see, what's new since I last wrote? Zach is getting bigger and smarter day by day. He recently started calling me "Kid." I think he was trying to call me Caron but couldn't get it quite right! He had lots of fun on our trip to Iowa, especially the part where he got spoiled rotten & played with his cousins. Last weekend Aunt Cari & Uncle Dan came for a visit, and both boys were thrilled to see them. Just this morning Zach asked if Cari & "DanDan" were coming for a surprise visit. Ian is going to be a year old in just a couple weeks--how is that possible?!?!?! He's made so many growth-strides lately: crawling, pulling himself up on furniture, cruising, and now standing alone for a couple seconds at a time. Before we know it he'll be walking! We're all looking forward to his birthday party at Chuck E Cheese...should be a lot of fun! We're very lucky that both boys are great travelers. Our journey to Iowa took about 11-12 hours, and neither cried or got fussy until the last 15 minutes! The same happened on our way home, so we count our blessings! We're hoping this trend continues as we prepare for our first family airplane trip in March to attend Uncle Matt & Aunt Christal's wedding in Arizona. My weight loss journey continues. I've lost 17 pounds so far, with another 19 to go. My biggest accomplishment so far has been fitting in size 10 jeans (something I haven't done in about 15 years!)
That's all for now!
