A look back...

The hearing test at the hospital. Keely looks just like her daddy in this picture. See the ridge in her upper lip? Total daddy mouth!

Ramping up for fall 2008...

Ask Tim anyday what his favorite time of the year is...and he'll tell you "FOOTBALL SEASON."

Its also almost the beginning of the school year. Keely's going into 3's preschool and Keenan into 4's preschool. We'll start AWANA's, soccer and dance in the next couple weeks too.

We are still alive, we promise!

Okay, so its been a couple months since we've blogged. We got distracted by FaceBook! It has been so fun to reconnect with friends from different eras of life!

Tim update: His back continues to bother him, but he saw a physiatrist today to help him get on the right track. He'll be going faithfully to physical therapy now.

Janis/Medifast update: I've lost 35 lbs. I want to lose 15 more before August. We are taking dad's ashes over to Davis Creek to bury them and I want to be able to say, "I lost 50 lbs" since daddy died. I think he'd be proud of me.

Keenan update: Keenan started his very first day of soccer camp last night! What a little stud! He did such a great job and really listened to his coaches. His friends Amaya and Cooper are in the class with him. Keenan also loves to act out scenes from his favorite movies. Ask him sometime to recite the prayer that Evan does on Evan Almighty. It'll crack you up!


Keely update: Our little princess is almost 3! She is almost potty trained! She can't wait to start preschool this fall. She is able to speak more clearly now and she comes up with some funny stuff!
We continue to praise God for his faithfulness as He shows His love to us every day.

Who is Keenan?

Keenan is the best little boy ever.

He is sensitive, kind, funny, and best of all, so entirely loving.

He says the sweetest things. He makes friends easily.

He is adored by all who know him.

Medifast isn't evil....

Okay, so here I am on day 10 of the medifast diet. I've lost 8 1/2 lbs.

It's not evil, just hard to stick to sometimes. I pulled out my goal dress yesterday though. A size 8. I last wore it to the Club Northwest Christmas party in 1998. So, its been 10 years. My goal is to be able to get back into it by this Christmas. I have quite a bit of weight to lose by then, but its doable...I just have to choose to stay on the plan.

Medifast diet is evil

Okay, so I (Janis) decided it was time to lose some weight. I need to. I have to. I hate it. So I decided to try Medifast. I'm only on day four, but I miss food. I miss the satisfaction of being full. I've lost 3 lbs so far, but I hate it. I've got a lot of lbs to go. That sucks. I hope it gets easier soon. Luckily I have a friend from work doing it with me. My health coach is supportive...but this is something I have to do for myself.

I'll keep the site up to date on how I'm doing with it. I'm giving it a 5 week try. If I can lose a significant amount of weight in these 5 weeks, I'll keep going. If not, I'll take some of its principles and go out on my own...

Facebook

So, we have joined facebook! What a cool community. We've been able to reconnect with people that we never thought we'd hear from again...

I should have used my maiden name along with my married name. Silly me.
