T-ball

Logan is loving T-ball. Last Thursday, September 18, Logan caught a fly ball creating an out and then tagged the runner going to second. He made a double play and everyone was Shocked. Doug is one of the volunteer coaches and he was in the outfield jumping up and down. It was great. Logan got the game ball that day.

We are planning Izzy's birthday party and she is so excited. Izzy turns 3 on October 5; however, we are going to have her birthday party after the Knobbley Knee 5K race. I have ordered a large water slide, so it should be great.

Trying to do better on my eating. Running again, trying to be consistent. I have 30 pounds to lose. Very disappointed in myself, but WILL NOT give up. Feel like I am floundering, which is frustrating. Work is okay, family is perfect.

Doug is doing okay. Looking at real estate investments again, which makes him excited. We will see.

Self Sabatoge

Well things are not going well for me. Great in the Cranford house, but not for me. It has been 4 months since I lost the baby and should have lost all the weight. The ladies in the neighbhorhood have just had their babies and are losing their weight, but I still have mine. Not sure what I am doing but started binge eating again. I had lost 10 pounds got sick and went backwards. I have got to get it together and get this weight off. I have never weighted this much and it is horrible. I feel horrible. I am going to try and do better today but tomorrow is it. I have set my sight on tomorrow with no more excuses. I understand I need to deal with the feelings that I am suppressing with the food, but I have got to get it together.

PTA

Yes, it is true. Doug and I are proud card carrying members of the PTA. We had our first PTA meeting today and open house. The meeting was good, but the open house was great. Logan's teacher said that he is doing great. They have smile cards in the class and whenever they do something nice they get a smiley face. When they get 10 smiley faces they get a treat. Well, I was a little concerned when the other children had several smiley faces and Logan only had one......well, that is because he had already exceeded the 10 smiley faces and was on his second set. He is doing great.

Logan is doing great. You can see him in this photo where he was pitching out the first pitch of the Bay Bears game Friday August 29, 2008. He was so cute and Izzy was yelling for him. Doug was able to arrange the first pitch through the firefighters ladies auxiliary. Oddly enough, Logan started tball the same week and his coach just happens to be the general manager for the Bay Bears. How cool is that? He is enjoying school with all happy faces so far.
Izzy is doing great with her first read pooh pooh in the pot. She was very proud, wanting to tell anyone who would listen.

Doug is doing good, working out again and thinking about buying more houses.....Ugh. It is great, but scary. We'll see.

I am doing okay. I started working out again, running (fast walk). Lost a few pounds, but still have all the weight from when I lost the baby in April.....but I will do it. New job is okay, need to find my rhythm and learn everyone's style. I do like that I get to go to the gym at lunch.....that is way cool, but still miss the Medical Center.

My niece and nephew graduated from home school last month and my other nephew started 11th grade. All three are going to college and doing great.
