New Skill

Brooke has learned yet a new skill today. If we weren't in trouble already! We can't leave her alone for a moment!

I screwed up the first video - although it showed it much better. But here is a quick and grainy video.



Here is a play by play in regular pictures!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter Everyone!

I head back to New York tonight. The first week wasn't as horrible as I thought it would be. I survived! Still not excited about going back - but it will be fine. I am now most dreading the possibility of being delayed at the airport :(

So, Easter was good - we visited all the relatives. I wanted to get some nice pictures - but Brooke just was not in the mood! But here are a few...

Taking a juice break from all the Easter excitement


Mon & Brooke
(looks like she is blowing a kiss - but nope - she is throwing a fit!)

Nice weather (for a moment)

We had two whole days that reached 60. It was almost unreal after all the below freezing temps and inches upon inches of snow we have gotten this winter! Now its back to the upper 30's but it seems maybe we will stay above freezing now. I think this week is has highs in the 40s.

So, Kevin has put on his "spring" hat and started cleaning out the garage and putting the snow-blower away and he brought out a couple of toys for Brooke. We all spent the evening outside - without a coat - it was very nice.

We bought this Little Tykes car at a garage sale for $2 last summer. And she loves it! She spent the evening getting in and out and in and out and playing with the steering wheel. Can't wait until we get some more warmer days. Its was so nice to spend time outside.




As for me, I went to the doctor a few days ago. I only gained 2.7 pounds in 3 1/2 weeks - so I am doing much better! One pound a week now is normal so anything at or below that is good. I guess trading in the donuts every morning for breakfast and switching to oatmeal and fruit really helped! Now I will be in New York for two weeks. Forced to eat out every meal - so I hope I can maintain my goals!
