Starting Now.

I am done with cookies and candies. I may partake in a piece of chocolate now and again because I may just overload myself if I am too strict. BUT I can most certainly avoid the things that are easily stuffed down my gullet. No more cookies.

A Christmas Surprise!

Eric and I got a Wii Fit for Christmas from our moms! Oh happy day! I was completely surprised. I am giddy as a school girl! Or, I was giddy until the damn thing announced in big fat letters "OBESE" to everyone in the room. I realize that my BMI and weight are in the obese category but gah! So along with the the fitness video game I am going to try to bring a healthy lunch to work everyday in my new Zojirushi Mr. Bento Stainless Steel lined Lunch Jar. My lunches will have to be made the night before. My hopes are to not pass out at 8pm with the baby and actually get my shit together. One half hour to play my Wii Fit and make my lunch shouldn't be too much to hope for.

Baby's First Christmas

Here is the cutest shot of Alexander opening his gifts at (Great?) Uncle Jimmy's house! Alex had several days of gifts to open. He loves them all!

Alexander's new hat

I made a hat with the most wonderful yarn ever! Shannon gave me some yarn and oh boy am I hooked! I will never again go to Michaels or AC Moore for yarn. Never ever! Me and my cheapness are going to be overruled by just fabulous stuff to work with! I am so glad that he finally has a winter hat... Its been killing me to use his hood only - it falls off and it way to tight to snap. And I realize how interesting that must be to everyone!

Thanksgiving!

For Thanksgiving we gave Alexander sweet potatoes and he couldn't get enough of them!
