Lots of changes......

Big P started kindergarten last Thursday. She loves school. Every day she comes home so excited about what she did and so excited to share it with us. She seems to truly enjoy it and soaks it all up!




I cried a little when we saw her into the school, off of the bus. Only because it truly means our little girl is growing up. I am however, extremely excited for her and am just sitting back and enjoying it! We have her school carnival coming up and of course her first skating party!

Little P is going to start going to a friend of mine's preschool/daycare twice a week. There was a problem with her former preschool and we had a choice to make. She needs preschool and I know Laura will take good care of her! I am very excited for her too!

They both got new haircuts last night. Big P wanted bangs to go with the LONG hair. We cut Little P's into a shorter bob, just because its easier to manage. Such cuties!



On a personal note, I am now looking for a part-time job. I won't go into details but its for the best and I am looking forward to working but being able to be home for the girls when needed. Hopefully a big, fantastic change is coming for our entire family next month! Keep your fingers crossed....we are on our way to home ownership and I would love to be able to post about that soon!

Parker's turning 3!

Image
It's been almost 3 years since we met Parker. She was a surprise baby to us, one we hadn't planned for but one that has changed our lives in ways we never imagined. She has always seem to have this knowledge of her presence in our lives, as a blessing more than anything else. She is our little calmer, she has this uncanny way of coming up to me when I'm at my worst and putting her sweet hand on my face and helping bring a sudden calm over me. Now don't get me wrong, she is a BUSY, BUSY little girl. From the moment she wakes up to the moment she finally gives in to sleep at night, that little girl has things to do. Whether it's dressed up in high heels and carrying a purse or finding a way to drive her big sister crazy, Parker is always up for a challenge. I can't believe our baby is already turning 3! She kept her end of the deal this summer, we told her if she could potty-train, we'd send her to sister's pre-school. Well guess who's potty-trained...

Being a mommy...MAMA

Image
I have attempted many jobs in my life. I have been the ice cream scooper at Baskin Robbins and built footlong sandwiches long before Jared discovered their nutritional value. I've waited tables (ok attempted to wait tables) and have supervised 60+ kids at a summer day camp. I have shot sports footage for a newscast and have produced, directed and assistant-directed a 2 hour morning show. But the one job that seems to have the best benefits is that of a mommy. It has no sick time, no vacation time and I think the only promise for a 401K is that maybe someday these children will make me a grandma. I have to say that being a mommy or as the P's call me "mama" is the best job with the most benefits. I've gotten to carry these precious little people and felt their kicks and hiccups inside of me. I was one of the first people they ever laid eyes on and got to hold their warm, wiggly little bodies before anyone else. I've gotten to get up at 2 in the morning to their...

Time for Change....

I just polished off two chocolate chip cookies. Was I hungry? No. Did they serve some sort of nutritional purpose? No. Why did I eat them? Because they were there! I think I've finally had my AHA moment that Oprah always talks about. I am done killing myself with food. That's essentially what I do to myself everytime I over-indulge. By chosing not to get up this morning to work out before my family got up, is basically telling them I don't think they're worth my health. I am not talking about going on a diet, or joining an exercise group that I'll quit 3 weeks down the road. I'm talking about making a major life change. That means eating in moderation. I will still have a cookie at some point, but I am not in a position right now to say "there are times we just need cookies!" I DO NOT need a cookie right now. What I need is to fuel my body enough to nourish it, but eat less than I am right now, to find a healthy weight. That weight for me is about 50 ...
