Happy Birthday Dad

I hold many fond memories of my dad. Taking walks along Moon Lee Ditch and trips up to the Culvert to go swimming, baking biscuits and pies, wrestling at night before bed, and cooking marshmallows over the barbecue. He taught me to be strong, both physically and spiritually. I am very grateful for his guidance these 18 years of my life. I hope you have a wonderful birthday! I love you.

Update

Here is an update on my life here so far: I held Vander again today. He is the cutest baby I've ever seen. At least, until I have my own of course, but in the meanwhile, he is absolutely adorable!

And on another note. Some of you know that I've been doing the 100 push-up & 200 sit-up challenge. When I began, I could only do 11 modified push-ups (and 1 real push up) and 20 sit ups. I did my 2 week test today and did 31 modified push-ups (I'm able to do at least 16 actual push ups) and 96 sit ups. Yes, 96, and I do not hurt at all right now. I am very happy with myself and have already noticed results. Yesterday I saw that I looked very good in my bathing suit. So I admired myself for a few minutes while the boys waited impatiently to go swimming while I mulled around in my narcissistic ways. Now onto week 3!

New Nephew

I went with the boys to the hospital on Tuesday to see my new nephew Vander. He is so adorable! I got to hold him a few times while we were there. He is so small (to me at least. It's been awhile since I've seen a newborn), yet he's so heavy! My hand became tired fairly quickly, so I had to give him back to Craig.
Kristie is scheduled to come back today. I've been here with the boys for the past few days and they've missed her terribly. I know I can't wait for her to come back. I've missed her too.

Beach

We went to the beach today. It was foggy and a bit chilly, but it definitely was a good day. Mainly because I saw Billy Boyd there. He and his family were sitting next to us at the beach. We didn't notice it was him until we heard him talking. So this is my second celebrity sighting, but the first since I've been here.

Card Making

Kristen and I were going to make cards with a friend of hers last week, but with her trip to the hospital, we had to put it off. So today we went and made them.



This one is my favorite. The embossing was fun!
