Doin' It.

Idea stealing, that is.  If you haven't noticed, I blog almost never.  I'm half happiest I've been in a while, and half insanely bummed, which results in way too much mental chaos to put into words.  


SO, my blogfriend Jessica at Learning As We Go is doing this thing, and I'm totally copying.  Hopefully it will be enough to get me out of this life-funk and blogging rut!  Yay!

Lulu has a tooth!

Her first one started poking through yesterday!  It's not so obvious, but I'm working on getting some pictures!

We're back from our awesome vacation to Maine, and a bit sad because the countdown to deployment is officially on.  I'll share more of the fun and vacation photos soon!

Throne stealing!

Cousin FUN!

Skinny Sabotage

B is back!  Woohoo!  

Except he has totally burst my bubble.

K, so, I'm on a quest to be more healthful and fit in to pre-Mum clothes.  I do crazy things like exercise and measure my cereal in cups and drink so much water that I have to interrupt baby naps for bathroom breaks and have salads for lunch and put almond butter in my oatmeal, 'cause: protein!  But, it is not all in vain.  The craziness has = 5 pounds down.  Which, isn't a lot but the scale was the same for like 2 months so any minus is a good minus.  

Except,  

Brian is like minus 100 pounds.  

He says it was the stress of NTC. 

 UM?  I have the stress of bottles at 1 am, 3am, 4am, 5am.  Trying to pack for three for two weeks away from home.  Keeping the accounts positive when he sports the spendy-pants.  Moving 6000 miles while he has a party in the desert.  

Stress does not make you skinny.  

And then, since he has been gone for a month, he gets to pick dinner.  His choice?  Pad Thai, because it is more healthy than Chinese food.  Really?

So unfair.

I just hope I can muster the willpower to not put the pudge back on.  

Lulu is pretty excited he's home too.
