Diggers

Joel's new love: Diggers!

Sick Boys

The little guys were sick the other week. So sick, that Joel sat and watched an entire movie without moving. Not even a twinge of movement. (Normally, he can barely sit through a five minute show, let alone sit perfectly still).

The next day, Micah was hit pretty hard. But Joel took care of him and asked to snuggle him on the couch. Micah obliged.  The poor guys.

 

But we are on the up and up. Both boys have returned to their normal crazy selves.

Now if only blogger/Picasa would return and I wouldn't have to upload each picture individually. Then this blog could return to normal.

The Big 5-0

Seven months ago, Dan started a new job. With the new job, came weight loss. Partly from not eating treats all day long, and partly from the physical labour involved in the new position. But seven months later, Dan has lost a total of 50 pounds (and counting)! Totally amazing!

Before: July 2013, a mere 7 months ago

Today: Feb 2014 --- 50 lbs lighter

 

These pants were a bit too tight when Dan started this weight loss journey.
Now, they no longer fit, even with a belt.
He still wears them, since we haven't bought any new clothes for him yet.
We didn't want to keep buying new clothes every few weeks, so we decided to wait until the weight loss sort of plateaued.
That hasn't happened yet.
Perhaps 50 lbs is a good reason to get some new clothes. You know, ones that fit.

Really???

Saturday morning I woke up with a migraine. Again. This is the third migraine I have ever had in my life. It is awful. Light sensitivity, sounds that make your body cringe, head in a vise grip that keeps on tightening..awful.

My first migraine was about three months after I gave birth to Joel. I thought nothing of it at the time. Just an overtired, stressed out new momma. That was, until, about three months after Micah was born and my second migraine struck. I'm guessing it has something to do with the hormones. But I was really blown away, when three months after my miscarriage, I had my third migraine. I sort of expected it, but was hoping that since I didn't go through a whole pregnancy that I would get away without one. I was wrong. At least now I know there is a pattern. I know how to deal with them.

I guess it was the perfect end to an already difficult week.
