Happy Thanksgiving!

I have much to be thankful for...

My brother is on a plane, on his way, as we speak! I get to be with almost all of my favorite people today.

Um. Two years?

Where did almost three years go?

I can't believe how so much can change and how much can stay the same.

For starters... I have a child in school! When I last wrote, I had a little girl pointing at me yelling, "No Mama tell me!" Now I have a kindergartener who discusses the importance of being a good citizen. Zoe digs school. It's fun to see her flourishing in an environment that's so up her alley.

And then there's this guy.

When last I wrote, he wasn't even a thought in my head! Griffin was born November 7th, 2006, and has been a total joy.

I had a fantastic pregnancy and he was born via c-section. He's super happy, loves his sister, and is truly full of joy each day. Has the most gigantic smile I have ever seen. His latest thing is yelling "BURGER!!!" whenever we drive near a fast-food restaurant, or anything that resembles a fast-food restaurant. Kid loves his burgers.

And so does his Mom. It's hard to come back to this blog after so much time has passed and so much is the same. I look at that picture of me down 54 pounds and it's hard to see it. I was doing so well! Losing that weight made me feel so much more capable. I wanted to be pregnant again because I felt so good. I was able to become pregnant immediately, and once I found out Griffin was coming, I flipped the "healthy" switch and went right back to old habits. I haven't found my way back to healthy ones.

It's something I still devote too much time to (thinking about my habits, my choices, my weight gain). I am having a hard time with action.
