So I’ve been inspired by our friend, Gay to start on a no-wheat, no-dairy diet. It’s not a true “diet” since you can really eat whatever you want but it’s a lifestyle change. Gay’s lost 60 pounds on it already and Allie just started and has lost 20 pounds! I’m optimistic…we’re going to get a treadmill here soon so I can walk at naptime and cutting out the wheat and dairy will help, too. So, hopefully by summer you will start to see a brand new me. It won’t be easy, but with the lactose intolerance, I won’t miss the dairy too badly, but these are surely in all the things we eat on a day to day basis.

I’ve got Nate and Connor coming over for a little while in the morning, but Levi doesn’t have school and I don’t have any other kids so we are going to head out to Silverdale and have lunch with Mary, Judy (other foster parents) and Suzanne! Can’t wait. Also hoping that JC Penney has found our pictures…apparently Fed Ex lost them somewhere in Reno. Just my luck! But I think they will compensate us with extra pictures of the boys, so if you want one let us know!

What a hectic weekend! First off, I was gone both Friday and Saturday at the Metro District wrestling tournament (my friend Kim and I did the computers) so Dee was home with the boys. Nana and Papa came over to help on Saturday when Dee put up sheetrock on our living room ceiling. Big job! Looks good, though. 🙂

Today we got up, went to coffee with Margaret. It’s tougher when we can’t sit outside, the boys don’t do as well when they just have to sit at the table. Anyhow, came home and put the boys down for an early nap, then went over to Mary, Ryan and Alice’s place to watch the Super Bowl. It was a very cool setup….Kathy arranged for a babysitter for the kids, so they played downstairs the WHOLE GAME and we got to actually watch it. Sweet! We were happy, had a great time, and now have thoughts of “poker nights” and having the kids with a babysitter downstairs.

I got inspired to make up some funny shirts for the boys tonight. We have the iron on paper so all I have to do is print out whatever I want, then iron it onto a t-shirt. So far we have some Valentine’s shirts “Heartbreaker” “Hug Me” and “Ladies Man” and some just funny ones. For Trey “Does this diaper make my butt look big?” For Carlos “Sorry ladies…pimps don’t fall in love” and for Levi “I Kind of a Big Deal”

Off to bed….busy week ahead!
