For starters, James & I are doing great! Really! We officially started a healthier lifestyle together on August 3rd. So in the past 6 weeks, James has lost 23 pounds & I have lost 14! It feels great! We are both eating way less calories & just being smarter about what we put in our mouths. It sounds easy, and it really is, once you get used to it. The first 2 weeks was pretty tough on both of us. Poor James felt like he was starving for the first week. But once we learned how to eat healthier, it really did get easier. I am using an awesome website called, myfooddiary.com, to help me count calories & I have been exercising every morning to burn even more. We both believe this healthy lifestyle (not a diet) is here to stay!
On another note, both of our jobs are going great. James' hotel is still in their busy summer season & he loves it. I went back to work on August 10th, and it hasn't been too bad. Although I hate being away from the boys, I forgot how much I enjoy adult conversations. :) Another big thing on the agenda is our trip next month to New York City to celebrate our 3rd Anniversary! My Mom and Dad have been so wonderful to offer a weekend daycare for us so that we can travel to The Big Apple with no babies in tow. We can't wait!
As for David, he's a doll! Although he is only 18 months, he's definitely nearing the 'Terrible Twos", where whining and pushing the envelope are his everyday missions. He is beginning to talk more, which is fun to hear. He still doesn't have very defined words, but his annunciations have definitely improved. He loves his little brother & is very eager for him to keep growing & be big enough to really play with. He loves to help me do laundry and puts things in the garbage for us. He is becoming a very good helper. I sure hope he keeps that up!
Steven is our "lil" chunk! He is so easy going, as long as he's fed! :) We have a jumper thing that he loves to play in. He just bounces until his little heart is content. And he smiles at everything! His face just lights up when anyone talks to him, especially his big brother. It's so cute to watch! I can't believe he is almost 4 months old! Time certainly does fly.
Well, that's our family update for now. Hope it wasn't too boring. Have a great day!
