Last week was another week of "milestones." Aiden turned 5. How is that even possible? He has grown so much and gotten so big. It is unbelievable!!! He also has given up on naps...although I am hoping for one today after a late night and an early morning. I really do kinda enjoy the quiet time with him...but I also enjoy some quiet time alone.
I also started getting up at about 6 (when Shane gets back from his bike ride) and going for a walk. I go a little over a mile. My only day "off" is Sunday for now until I get the habit established. Today I actually walked and jogged. I just love it (well not the jogging part yet but I've been told that you start liking it eventually)! I listen to music and watch the sun come up. It is a great way to start the day. My energy is so much higher all day!! My house is even cleaner since I've started walking...are the two related? I don't know and I don't care!
And Griffin is weaned. He was only nursing at night before bed and Wednesday night after church he just didn't seem to care. So I just gave him a little sippy cup of milk and that was the end. He hasn't nursed since. It is a little bittersweet. He is my last baby and now he is getting so big too. But there are new and different stages to start enjoying. And the joy of wearing a real bra again is just wonderful!!! It changes a woman I tell ya! Anyway, Griffin is also walking a lot now. They are still hesitant steps but he is trying to get around that way. So sweet!
We started learning about the first day of Creation in school. So we studied light, opposites (as in God separated light and dark), different ways people have lit their homes through history, etc. Aiden is also doing some handwriting. Maverick wants the "power to read" but I told him I won't sit down and teach him that until he poops in the potty.
As far as my weight loss goes I lost 1.6 lbs. Not great but I'll take it. The "2nd week slump" on Biggest Loser was encouraging. Some of those people didn't lose any and they worked LOTS harder and have lots more to lose. So I am just keeping at it. I"ll get there. I confess that I weighed this morning and seem to be doing pretty good so far this week....I hope I keep going!!
So that is the wrap up of last week and all that is going on. Later!

Glad to hear that you're off to a good start this week! I was a little wary of the scales this morning because of our "must have" dessert, but I was pleasantly surprised. Would love to think that all that chocolate goo had something to do with our success!
I'm proud of you Mama.
