The picture is of me and some friends I met in Miami. I was in Miami for four days and it was beautiful, what I got to see of it. I was in conference everyday, one of which I was teaching a class on Medicare Part D.


Christmas 2006 I had lost all my baby weight and a lot more. With the two moves and stressors at home, I have gained 20 pounds. I have started working on the weight loss, especially since Doug and I are going on a cruise July 12. This will be the first trip we have taken together, alone, in over four years. I am so excited I can't stand it. I have a count down time that I look at several times a week.
Here is the link. You may have to cut and paste.

Logan has decided he does not want to use the potty, except to pee and it is really only upsetting when others criticize me or question why I haven't trained him yet. I have to keep telling myself that he will train when he is ready. We have given him every tool possible, he is just not ready. For some reason he is scared and we can't seem to get him past it. We will keep trying.

An FYI: If you have a parent you know who is having any problems or concerns with their children, only encourage them. Offer minimal advice, because you are not in their shoes. Don't judge or criticize them. Parents usually feel unsure about their parenting, so encourage them instead of judge or criticize. (that is my soap box)(one of them, Medicare Part D is the other)

These two pictures are of Logan and Izzy while we were in our transition home.
We are now, finally, in our new home and really love it.
Doug is doing well in his job, while growing his business "Unique Restorations." He is really excited about building this company and already has people interested in hiring the company.
Myself, I made an "A" this semester in school and was also busy traveling. I was in Orlando the first of April and then in Miami giving a talk on Medicare Part D. Miami is beautiful!
Logan and Izzy are doing great. They still get along, love one another and share most their toys and drinks. Logan will share is food in a minute, Izzy will fight anyone over hers.
