Forget January 1st- Today is a day to celebrate!
BACK TO SCHOOL.... a new year!
Joseph started the 5th grade today, and he wouldn't let me take the annual first day of school picture from our porch as usual, so I had to take it right before he walked out the door. But don't worry, I snuck a pic from the porch after he crossed the street and walked onto campus :)
After I got Joe out the door, it was time for Stroller Strides, and I lost some weight today! Not in my butt or thighs, but in my stroller! Today was the first time that I sat Max in the stroller rather than in his infant seat, and I could totally tell that the stroller was lighter without the infant seat. I was a little worried that he was too small and that he would be too floppy, but he seemed to love facing forward and was asleep within minutes!
AND THEN... the celebration continued because I got a package in the mail!
I received a Good Sheesh Box from Andrea, and, let me tell you, it was full of GOOD SHEESH!! All of my favorite things- from jalapeno potato chips and Junior Mints to pajamas and a candle, this box was full of love and was such a treat! Andrea even crafted a frame and put in a picture of my kiddos :) Thank you Andrea!! I feel spoiled and loved! Every single item was so thoughtful and so perfect!
New Year's Day is ending with all 3 kids asleep before 10pm. Wow! Maybe I should get off the computer and make the most of the time alone with my husband.
But before I go, here is one more pic of Lover Boy :) I kept checking on him in his crib when he was supposed to be napping, but I just kept finding this happy face!

HUGE PROPS as usual for your stoller striding efforts! SO glad that you got to ditch some extra weight!
Hooray for back to school and a hip hip hooray for Andrea's super duper thoughtful box of goodies!! I want some candy delivered at my doorstep! BTW, where oh where did you get the frame Andrea? I love it!
Max is adorable and I love that he just passed out within minutes! He is such a good boy! And stroller strides... should I just confess right now that I feel a slight guilt mixed with envy everytime I hear those two words! :)
