I hope you'll be seeing "less" of me in the future.

On January 1, Wes and the kids and I sat down together and came up with some goals for 2009. It was cute. Cate wants to learn to read, tie her shoes and ride bike without training wheels. Reed wants to learn to write and read and ride his bike. One of my goals was to lose 20 lbs. I had lost 30 at one point but about half of it has found me again. I am tracking my weight loss with a ticker. I will try to update it every Monday. If I slip feel free to call me on it. I need accountability.

Lightsaber Fight to the Death

WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!

I'll Play with the Lightsaber on Friday

Reed pretends that everything is a lightsaber... markers, sticks, yarn, forks...anything and everything. Today he had a sales flier rolled up and he said, "Can this be a lightsaber?"

I said, "We gave you a lightsaber for Christmas. Why don't you ever play with that? It's what you wanted the most." (It's really cool. It's spring loaded, lights up and makes sounds.)

He said, "Well, I played with it on Friday. Is it Friday now?"

Videoing Cousins Unaware

Things you learn from older cousins:

Thompson Christmas at our house

We were short a few family members this year at our Christmas gathering. Those who couldn't be here were really missed. We love you guys. I won't give details but please keep one in your prayers and let him know you are thinking about him.

When the Texas Thompson's arrived they didn't even come in the house before they hit the trampoline. The backyard was suddenly full of activity and excitement.



The cousins sure do have fun together.
