the bright side

Even though Nathan told me I was fat today two or three times, I have lost eight pounds. I'm eating better and exercising regularly. I'm still hoping for the momentum to kick in but I am making progress.

Even though it was hot today, I was able to take the kids to the pool. As an added bonus, they all worked together to clean up the house before we went.

Even though Anne is teething and not sleeping, she is so totally adorable.


Even though some days are hard, I still get to enjoy moments like these.

Congrats on the weight lost! Seriously, it is SO hard to do. I love your pics, like always. Sawyer is even cuter now that I have met him...

I love it! And congrats - 8 pounds is very significant. Love the tough-guys-in-hats pictures.

Wow, Anne is not afraid at all to look straight at the camera. Looks like you've already trained your next little model!

Anne is so pretty (she looks so much like you). Congrats on the 8 pounds! My kids make *lovely* comments about weight to me too-- you aren't alone. I'm trying to look on the bright side of things as well. Thanks for the reminder.
