Warm and cozy and snuggly....
Christmas pj's? Yes please!
Pretty sure peanut is going to nominate me for 'mom of the year' award for letting her wear her new Christmas pj's 2 days in a row. Thanks G&G W.!
Rockin it out, Charlie Brown-style... (and does this picture make me look like I need Rogaine or what?!)
Christmas tree is up....
Christmas cards are addressed...
Reagan loves to point out baby Jesus in the nativity scene and it melts my heart to hear her sweet voice say, 'baby Jesus!'
And she knows that Santa brings PRESENTS! We are slowly talking her into going to see him again- maybe next time she'll have a smile for Santa!

Thanksgiving 2011
Thankful...
We have so much to be thankful for this year. Good health, jobs that provide for us, and most importantly, family and friends that love and support us. We are so blessed~
We spent thanksgiving up north this year and had a great time hanging out with G&G K, Aunts/Uncles and cousins... peanut never stopped moving (or laughing)! The weather was perfect for an afternoon walk and play time at the local park. And peanut gets to have a sleepover while Andy and I have date night tomorrow night- thanks G&G K.!
A few pics~
From our family to yours, have a blessed thanksgiving!

The Switch
I have a switch. The 'diet' switch.
When it's on, it's really ON.
But when it's off... it's 'OMGshe'seatingPillsburyproductsforeverymeal' off. Results are disastrous.
Thankfully, for the past few weeks my switch has been kinda, sorta on. The kinda sorta on that keeps pushing me to the gym and bypassing vendo land at work.
The stats (since October 3rd):
Pounds lost: 12
What I'm doing right: I've worked really hard to increase my workouts at the gym. It helps that peanut has an early bed time and that I can DVR all my favorite prime time shows for later viewing. Because honestly, if it weren't for the DVR, we all know this wouldn't be happenin. So- my goal is four days a week for at least an hour. Last week I managed six days a week and still lived to tell about it. Go figure.
What I'm doing wrong: Okay seriously people. Who can survive on only 1800 calories a day??!! Food has always been my issue. I love it- love the taste, the textures, the amazingiest (yes, I said it) that is fast food. I am really working on this aspect though, hence the switch that is turned on.
My goals this week (since ya'll know turkey day is the day of reckoning for peeps like me): Try really really really hard not to eat my weight in desserts. Get to the gym four days for an hour- and yes, this is doable even though there is a holiday in there and don't let me use that as an excuse!
Now, if only my switch had a dimmer.

And so it begins...
Weight loss journey number 1,267,899,403....
This time, I'm armed with reinforcements. Daniel, from the Biggest Loser, has settled into the area and will be my weekly personal trainer for (at least!) 20 weeks. (He survived Jillian!)
I've joined Sparkpeople to track food/weight loss/exercise... http://www.sparkpeople.com/
I've got my partner in crime (that's you Nette!) taking this journey with me...
And I've got the support from my biggest cheerleader, Andy.
No excuses, right?
The goal you might ask? 41 lbs gone by August 2012. And the first step? I haven't bought a Pillsbury product in 4 months. Yes, there is hope. :)

Say "Cheese!"
We had family pics/Reagan's 2 year pics taken on October 16, 2011, at Jester Park Lodge by Julie from LandryAnna Designs.
Despite the chill in the air, the cool morning breeze and the fact that peanut doesn't like (dress up) clothes, I think the pics turned out well. Julie was a trooper because once Reagan found out she knew the theme song to Dora, she was demanding that Julie sing on cue. Seriously- the only way we could get a smile out of peanut. That and bribing with fruit snacks. Ah... the toddler life.
Just a small sample of pics, enjoy!
