Day ONE

Ok, my siblings and I made a pledge to give something up for 6 months to support my Dad (long story...). I am giving up sweets for 6 months, with the exception of a piece of pie on thanksgiving and christmas, if I feel so inclined. So here's to day one! 

No Place Like Home

Adam and I have made a very important decision: We are going to move back to Kansas City. The circumstances in which this decision had to be made are not quite ideal, but we are very excited to move "home".  Adam had a job offer for a company in China, but they are no longer able to offer him the position due to the economic situation---this seems to be the case everywhere. Although he has no job yet, we are hopeful that he will find something, and in the interim we will be surrounded by people we love. Can't beat that! 

Kansas City, here we come!

Where's Ruby?

I always check on Ruby before I call it a night, and this is how I found her. Hilarious!

Blood and Bones

We had a few friends over tonight, so I tried to get into the Halloween spirit---I made blood red hot chocolate and homemade marshmallow bones. mmmm...

Whatchu gon' do wit all dat junk...

...all dat junk inside yo' trunk? (come on, you've gotta love the Black Eyed Peas! good beats to run to!) Speaking of running, I was remembering when I used to be skinny, and it may have been because I would run 2-3 miles just about EVERYDAY! I'm starting to run again, and I'm not quite sure what to do with all the junk in my trunk while I run---I hate the jiggly feeling. 

What? What diet? Oh yeah, I was supposed to be on some kind of calorie counting/goal reaching diet, huh? hmmm...well I'm getting serious about it starting...NOW. Really! Fine, don't believe me, but the running is helping to convince me that I need to eat better too, so as to reduce the jiggle factor.

For Good Measure

Just a few more pictures, I promise. We took Regan with us to this place where we took all the pictures---she had fun, or so she said, but you'd never be able to tell by the pictures! As soon as the camera was on her, she frowned. Ruby absolutely adores Regan, and they could actually pass for sisters (by the way they look and treat each other!). In fact, people always tell me what cute girls I have, and I never correct them!

BEE-witching

Isn't my little girl the cutest? And i didn't even have to give her pointers on how to pose. She's a natural. Maybe it's just because she knows she's the cutest bee on the block!

p.s. I thought I rotated those darn pictures! Oh well, you're just going to have to rotate your head.
