Ugh...

Where to begin...
Well, how about with that weight loss stuff?  Ok.

I haven't been keeping track of everything since I went on vacation last month.  No, no...bad Stefanie!  (That was me scolding myself.)  However, I have found my way to the gym again.  I was doing really great going every other day until I fell while mowing the lawn and sprained my ankle real good.  I had to crawl to our house from the spot that I fell.  I don't think anyone saw.  However, I did keep up with my crunches and push ups while not being able to walk.  I've been back to the gym once since hurting myself, but I took it pretty easy.  My ankle is still sore, but getting better daily.

We have also been doing some minor work to the house.  Brady and my father-in-law installed new wood laminate flooring in our entryway, half bath and laundry room.  We've also been working on painting all the doors and trim in the house (thanks Amanda and Tony!)  I hope to get that completed by this weekend.  This project has been going slower than I would have liked due to illness in about everyone but myself.  Hopefully, I'll get it all done on Brady's days off.

Emmy is starting the push to crawl.  She is getting on her hands and knees and springing forward.  She is only a few days past 5 months old!  How is this happening already?  She is my last baby and I just want her to stay a baby for a little while longer.  Why do I have to have early movers?  Both boys were early walkers at 9 1/2 month and 8 months.  I can't imagine her walking any sooner than that!

School starts for the boys officially in 2 weeks.  I'm excited for Maddox to start, but also nervous.  He is so aggressive with Carter that I'm worried how he'll act with another child if he/she takes his toy.  I'm hoping for the best but preparing for the worst.  We've been going over the rules for school, but who knows if he's taken to them.

I think I'll end it here for today seeing as  how there is something weird going on with my computer and I have to keep rewriting stuff.

Over and out,
Stef
