Brendan's first haircut

I think this picture speaks for itself. 

2 months and 20 lbs lighter!

This time of month is when I take the picture.  Let's see the results of 2 months of diet and lots of exercise.

the kitchen

So our goal in the kitchen is an update of the old stuff and to take down a wall to an office that we never use.  We sanded and painted the cabinets so they are no longer what I call "90's acid washed"  and the are now white.  The next phase is to take down the wall and new counter tops and nice big island we can all sit at and eat.  Here are some of the before and after so far.

Couch to 5K

I made it to week 2!  I am so thrilled with myself.  I mean really, really thrilled.  I actually almost cried.  I really didn't think I could do it and I DID IT!  It was hard, I will admit, however by the last run today I actually thought there was one more.  Did I mention I was super proud of myself. 

In the world of kids, this is a conversation I overheard today:
C: Come on, let's run.
P: No, my booboo hurts.

I think I am raising a wuss.  He has a scrap on his knee.  Geesh.
