Counting down

....only 19 shopping days left to Christmas! Mike and I are still working on our homemade gifts for his family. And haven't even began to think about my side of the family. Our gift to each other is a fun filled trip to San Diego for New Year's to visit his sister. I'm so looking forward to going!

....our weight continues to drop, too! Well, actually this week at weigh in we both had a gain, a minimal gain. We've just recommitted ourselves to the plan. We took a Sharpie and labeled all of cartons in the cabinet and fridge. Our goal is to walk at least 3 days this week. So far, we've walked zero days. Mikee's total lost is 24 lbs and mine is 20.4 lbs. So, we've proved that we can lose weight and we're anxious to lose more and more!

...only 11 days of school left until winter break! What can I say, teachers always look forward to winter vacation! I'm looking forward to having 2 weeks off with Mikee!

Love ya! Amanda :)

Making Cookies with DeeDee

On Friday, Grandma DeeDee and Abby make cookies. Abby loved trying to scoop out the dough. Of course, her Mama showed her how much fun it is to eat the dough. As you can see, she thoroughly enjoyed licking the spoon on the way to the cookie sheet. You can hear her actually mmmmmming as she eats the chocolate chip cookie dough. You'll never guess what Abby wanted to use to help make cookies. We made sure that she was the one that got that cookie! After eating the dough, she wasn't too interesting in eating the finished cookie. We gave her one, but when I turned around it was no longer in her hand. Gus or Shaylie gobbled it up quickly. There was no evidence, but both dogs looked guilty.

Look what Mommy found!

I was browsing my photo library and came across Abby baptism photos. Look how small she was. This was Dec 21st, 2008! She was just over one year old. That cute little dress she has one is a size 24 months from Carters. She has always been tall for her age. That she gets from her daddy. What I remember the most is that while she was sitting on my lap like above, she hit her lip on the pew in front of her and her lip started bleeding and she of course started screaming in the middle of the ceremony. That's my Abby. Has to make sure every one knows she is here! Her godparents are my cousin Kimberly and Mike's sister Sarah. We ran into a paper filing issue because at least one of the god parents also had to be confirmed. Only one of our choices met that criteria. ThankS Kimmie!
