Pics from my mom and dads and WEIGH IN!

My mom e-mailed me some of the pictures they took this weekend while Alec and Mikayla were there! It looks like they all had a wonderful time and I am just thrilled that Mikayla had no issues at all. You know all us adoptive momma's worry about that when we leave them for the first time. I look at some of these pictures of Kayla and I just can't get over how big she has gotten. Wow...in just a few days she will have been home for NINE months already! I will have to have a picture parade that day...a picture from every month she has been home so we can look at how much she has grown. So amazing. I love and adore my kids sooooooo much. It's trying sometimes with two, Mikayla has three times the energy Alec had at this age, but I wouldn't trade any of it for the world. These are great times....great times with two amazing kids! MY KIDS!

As for my weigh in....another good week for me! I am down ANOTHER two pounds. Two pounds a week seems to be the norm for me. Kris has now lost 12 pounds. We have really made a lot of changes in this house when it comes to food and we are ALL feeling better about it. We are NOT dieting...just making lifestyle changes that we can live with permanently. Some of you have offered to help me lose it quicker and I SO appreciate the offers! I have been too busy to get back to you but you know who you all are. Thank you for taking the time to try to help me along. I just really want to stick to what we are doing because it's easy for me and it's working well for my family. Doing what we are doing is something that we can stick to...and that's what I need because every time I "diet" I end up in my old ways again adding back on the pounds...so that's why this time I took a different approach and just made some simple changes...but man...it's been 8 weeks without a Coke...LOL...and that's pretty good for me! Coke was my ADDICTION!

OH....and I KNOW I am so behind on all of your blogs...SOOOO behind. Give me the rest of the week to catch up! I haven't forgotten about all you...please know that!
