It's Been Awhile

I know it's been around two weeks since I've blogged, but we have been super busy. I have lots of paperwork right now at school, so I've been spending a LOT of time doing that. I've pretty much gotten that finished, so now I'm taking a little break before I get ready to start writing my lit review for my grad class. Sigh.

The family has been great. Since I've been so busy with work, my wonderful husband has been taking good care of our kiddos. I feel like I haven't been able to see any of them lately. Last night we went up to the "Jester Fest" at my school. The kids had fun at the carnival and enjoyed playing the games. Dustin and I entered a raffle and won 4 tickets to a Cardinal's game! We never win anything like that! Today we plan on going to the library and going shopping. I have high hopes, but we'll see how the day unfolds...

For those of you keeping track of my progress with Weight Watchers, I've now lost 12 pounds. I feel great! I hope to lose about 10 more pounds. Think skinny thoughts for me :)

We went to visit Sarah & Scott and the twins. I was so busy holding teeny-tiny babies that this was the only picture I took. The older kids were watched by the "Daddies"

When the weather was warm last weekend, we went for a walk. Braden had a little trouble with his bike helmet!

Showing off the beads she got at the carnival.

Braden enjoying the Laffy Taffy he won after throwing a football at the wall. Dustin claims Braden is very athletic. I don't think it takes much talent to throw a ball at a wall, but whatever!
