Pretty Proud

So. I've gained some weight. It's not a good thing. What's the best way to lose weight? Diet and running. Alright, let's do it.

I used to go for jogs quite frequently, but stopped for awhile. I've been working out at home but really need to start jogging again. So I went yesterday.

I went for a jog around my neighborhood didn't stop or walk the whole time. I was thinking, ok, maybe it was half a mile? Still, even if it was half a mile I would be happy about not stopping. I got home and checked how far it was.....

What!? A mile and a half. I've never been able to do that before in my life.

Therefore, I'm pretty proud.

What We Do With Books

I love to read. Seth loves to read. Little Maxine....we'll have to see.

Right now books are good for:

1. Kissing

2. Standing

3. Being taller

Oh the uses for books.

9 Months!?

What the? Has it really been 9 months since I had my little girl? Incredible.

She has grown SO much this last month. She is crawing, trying to walk everywhere, waving, clapping, saying 'da-da', and giving kisses. Although, just recently she has taken to kissing her mama. She would save them for Saren mostly.

I can't believe she is in my family. I'm so grateful for her little person. It feels like she is growing right before my eyes. Learning new things and becoming a kid instead of a baby. We're so blessed to have her in our life. I love love love her.

I need to take better pictures of her. I'll put them up. I promise.

Giant Bouncy Balls

Bouncy balls, like the one pictured below, are the desire of every child. Kept in ginormous bouncy ball cages at the store, wonderment occurs as to how they are extracted for purchase. Envy radiates strong when other children are seen bouncing, sitting on, or kicking one such ball around a store. Tears are shed when purchased ball is later left outdoors and proves blown away. This, of course, is the general consensous of most children.

And yet, some, a very few, are positioned in the minority. When a ball is tossed or played with close to one of these strange children, facial expressions can include the following:

Oh the terror and irritation.
