Update

So, apparently I need to update... ::sigh:: Umm, life's been busy? Easter was good. We went to the Vigil mass Sat night, then on Sun. Blythe and Aaron invited us over for lunch, where I tried lamb for the first time. It was good! I want to have it again sometime... Jon's started his 4 on, 4 off schedule, 12-hour shifts now, so we're about to try to get use to that. Jon's building me a desk for scrapbooking, so that's taking up my entire dining room. Kind of funny. I'm really excited about it....

We're on a BIG weight loss/debt free campaign. We're working our butts off to get out of debt and, while it'll be hard, we really hope to do it within the next year. (well, with the exception of student loans and car payment). I also really need to lose this baby weight. We've been watching calories and I've been consistently going to the gym. I've been spending 30 min on the treadmill, and I also just bought some small hand weights yesterday, so I'm going to start doing those as well. I miss my wedding body :(

Zach's doing well- found his feet recently. It's cute because he holds them up while I change his diaper lol. He's rolling from his belly to his back, but can't figure out how to get back over. He still talks and squeals and blows bubbles. He's definitely all boy. He is 6 mo tomorrow. We got his 6mo pictures taken last week. Here they are. He doesn't have his 6 mo checkup until the 17th. Military is stupid sometimes. I didn't realize I needed to call 3-4 weeks in advance to make his appt! Oh well. He's also been eating solids a lot. We decided to do homemade baby food, so right now, I have tons of squash, sweet potatoes, peas and peaches in the freezer. Jon's going to go buy a small deep freezer today.

I recently joined the mom's playgroup at church. I really enjoy knowing some other mom's. Including Zach, there was 3 babies born within 12 days of each other. Zach, 6 days later another boy, 6 days later a girl. I don't know if I'll go to everything. For example, next week is Chucky Cheese. That'll probably just be loud and kind of annoying, but we'll see how I feel next week. We also went to the young married couple's group this month- it was a dinner out. We're also meeting up next week to make baggie lunches for the homeless, so that'll be nice. The couples between the play group and the married couples group seem to overlap a lot.

Anyway, I guess that's an update for everyone :) Sorry it's been so long, I've just got a lot going on. :)

yeah! Thanks for the update! That's awesome how Zach is developing. Lael is also eating solids and I make them bio at home. So far she's eaten peas, sweet potatoes, and apples. I always mix them with rice cereal for right now since she's still not quite 6 months. In a couple weeks, I'll start with other things.
I'm glad you're in a mommy group! I am, too, and thought I wouldn't like it, but it ended up I really enjoy it. It's made me go out and meet people I wouldn't otherwise meet.
yeah for Lamb! It's my FAV. I made it for Easter, too! Wish I could have been there!
