Diet?

I have no excuse to not be down to my pre-pregnancy weight.  I got used to eating for two and continued to do so.  Before having Ella, I would eat very small portions and very few times a day.   At that point I thought I was fat....and now I feel so large it's depressing.  I am heavier but I have also never been so happy.  Poor excuse right?? With the wedding approaching quickly, I've decided to start dieting.  We are trying the South Beach thing and I must say, I miss carbs....I miss starch.  I am hoping to get over this and try and lose ten pounds.  I feel like this is a reasonable goal and hope that I can achieve it...stay posted...

Easter

Well since everyone posted about Easter, I figured I should too.  We did NOTHING for Easter.  I feel like a horrible mother for not doing something for Ella.  We were smack dab in the middle of a move though.  Ella got a brand new room for Easter and the Easter bunny was so exhausted he forgot eggs.  We basically unpacked all day and had a nice family dinner at Del Taco.  I was much too tired to attempt to make a ham dinner although I swore all day I would.  I promised my little bug that next year we would go all out.  How wonderful she won't remember this parenting fail.

As a side note, Ella's Grandma Floo and Grandpa Moosie bought her a very large sheep that she has named Baaah :)

Hope everyone else had a wonderful Easter.

New home, New adventures, New memories

We move Friday!! YAY!! The not so yay is that we are all sick right now :( It's not been very fun packing while feeling under the weather.  I seriously hope that we make a turn for the better at some point this week.

We've almost finished packing!!!  We can't wait to move into our dream home and start making memories.  I just have to take the time to say how really blessed we are with wonderful jobs and families; none of this would have been possible without them.  This home is something we have been dreaming about and far exceeds our expectations on a first home.  All of the support we've had throughout the process has made this dream come true.  So, we'd like to thank our wonderful families who have helped us so much.  

 

Now it wouldn't be fair if I didn't stop and remember that this apartment was our first family home.  I have been reflecting on all of the firsts that happened here and all of the experiences we have had.  As much as I am STOKED to leave, I will always remember this apartment.  

I have wondered at times if Ella will have any memories of living here. I am sure someday we'll take her back here and show her were she learned to take her first steps....

So, on that note I leave a few pictures of our first home...
