Highlights

Just a couple pictures for funsies.

I couldn't resist this photo. I'm biased, but she was pleased as punch to be in that big-little chair.


Zachery with his great Aunt Susie. Uncle Bob and Aunt Susie live here in Toledo and are not only relatives, but friends. :) Susie stopped by back in December here and gave Zach a little birthday treasures.

1) Our bishop issued a challenge for this week. Starting yesterday, we are to eat only the food we have at home. That means no eating out and no grocery store. I only heard part of what he was saying, due to the kids, and so I thought, no problem I'll go to the store in the morning and we'll start tomorrow. :) I quickly found out he meant starting then. Eric and I are going to try it and use up all that's in our freezer, fridge and parts of our dry goods. I love the challenge though, because I'll be more aware of the food we have, the food we eat and try foods I haven't had in a long time. The bishop said it was a test to see if there was a big blizzard and we couldn't get to the stores, could we survive? I hope so.

2) Another highlight is that we got some shelves for the basement and finally emptied out some boxes we've had stacked up down there. I love that! I then realized that we've got a few too many things, like books (okay they're mostly Eric's, but if we'll never read them, why do we have them?). I do love things picked up, clean and everything in it's spot. :)

3) Avery will eat, yes eat, a Gerber wagon wheel! Baby steps here, but not literally (she's not crawling yet).

4) I started jogging again today! I really wanted to get back to it, but actually getting dressed for it and getting on the treadmill is another thing. I didn't do much, but I did some.!!
