Pics at the park
The weather was pretty nice today, so we met up with some friends at the park for a playdate. It turned out to be a bit cooler than we were expecting, but it was still nice enough to be outside. It was good to get out and get some fresh air. I'm really looking forward to spring as Jonathan's getting old enough to play on the playgrounds. We went to Collins Hill Park where they have a great toddler playground. It was a great size for the kids. We also fed the ducks; there were so many of them. I was a little freaked out by how close they came, but Jonathan seemed to think it was pretty cool.
Well, I'm pretty tired so I'd better hit the sack. Until next time...

So much...
Wow, it's been a long time since I posted last. There's alot to post about, so I think I'll just do a summary:
* First of all, the best news in the world.... Chris' mom is in remission! Praise God!!! She had a PET Scan a couple of weeks ago and it came back clear. All three places are gone! They're going to do four more treatments (including the one she had last week), but then she'll be done. I can't even begin to tell you how happy & relieved we all are. God is amazing, that's for sure!
* As for my weight loss journey, it's still going well. I don't think I've posted my numbers in a couple of weeks; at my 1/16 weigh in I lost 1.8 pounds and last week I lost another 3.8!!! So, that makes my grand total so far 18.4 pounds lost! I'm very happy with the way things are going, now I just need to add exercise to my routine.
* Jonathan has been sick for a few days; poor thing. It began with a runny nose and then he started running a fever. Everytime he has a fever his sleeping gets all messed up. But last night he slept well & in his bed, so hopefully things are getting better.
* Speaking of his sleeping; I'm hoping to start this week working on getting him to go to sleep on his own. I started a terrible habit when he was a baby of rocking him/holding him until he went to sleep & then laying him down. It was just so wonderful to feel him in my arms. But, he's definitely at an age now where he should be able to go to sleep on his own. I've read a couple of books on the subject; "Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems" by Richard Ferber and "Good Night, Sleep Tight: The Sleep Lady's Gentle Guide to Helping Your Child Go to Sleep, Stay Asleep & Wake Up Happy" by Kim West and JoAnne Kenen, but I'm not sure which method to go with. Do any of you have any experience with either of these methods? Do you have any suggestions?
* Yesterday was a great day of scrapping with the girls! I hadn't seen Laurel or Rebecca since late October! That's just not right! We also met up with Sandy, Stephanie and Roxy. I always have so much fun scrapping with my friends. Next Saturday we're going to a Rubber Stamp Show, so that should be fun too.
Well, I think Jonathan is waking up from his nap, so I'd better get going. I'll try not to go so long between posts next time. ;o)

It's snowing!!!
Jonathan has never seen snow before, so we stepped outside & I snapped a couple of pictures. I wish it hadn't been so dark, but I think they turned out pretty good. It was so beautiful when I opened the door and the kids in the cul-de-sac were outside playing.
We don't get snow much here in Georgia, so they tend to make a pretty big deal out of it. In fact, as I'm sitting here, they're talking about it on the news like it's the biggest thing that's ever happened. I'm sure the grocery stores are out of milk & bread, that always happens when it snows. It's like people think the world is going to shut down. They're already talking about school closings, and it's only been snowing for a couple of hours. Craziness!!! I remember the first year we lived here, it snowed a 1/2 inch and we got out of school early! We had just moved from Missouri & were baffled by that.
I hope there's some snow on the ground tomorrow. It will be beautiful and I'd like to get some pictures of Jonathan playing in it...

Mini-album
For some reason I can't get these pictures to upload into Photobucket, so I'll just post them through Picasa. Picasa only lets you post 4 pics at a time, so there will be multiple posts. I made this little album for Chris' mom; and I'm making one for my mom too. They were supposed to be Christmas presents, but I didn't manage to get them done in time.
I was just watching Oprah and she was showing the people behind some of the products that are out there. One of the things that she showed were these Post-It Flag Highlighters. Aren't they cool! Now, when you highlight something, you can also mark the page with a flag so it's easier to find later. Sometimes it's the simplest things.
