September is going so fast

I have been over weight my whole life and unfortunately I REALLY started to put it on after we pcs'd to England.  I fell into a depression and didn't want to live here, be here, have friends, workout, or even be seen.  I reached a scary high of 215 pounds and I wasn't even pregnant.  In fact I think my sky rocketing weight was preventing us from becoming pregnant. Although I am quick to erase any non flattering pictures of myself, I was able to find a few between 2009-2010.  Then after Owen was born I tried really hard to loose weight.  I ate better, moved more and my gall stones helped me shed the last 15 extremely quickly.  Once I had my laparoscopic Gall Bladder surgery I reached a new personal (adult life) low of 167! Lets hope I can live better, eat better, keep my blood pressure and cholesterol down for the rest of my life.  I'm not naive, I have an eating addiction and I know I will bounce up and down, I just hope to keep myself in line.


After a 6 week holiday, Ava started school again.  She is old enough to be registered in British Reception but since we leave in only 10 weeks I thought it was best to just keep her in Pre School.  Ava is now the oldest in the class and now the "big helper."  



We surprised Miss Emma with a secret note, announcing our new military base in Albuquerque New Mexico!

Owen just keeps growing and learning.  He is so adorable and has begun to crawl all over the place.  He is very quick.





Both kids enjoy bathing and Owen has started to play and splash more.  He can't keep the water in the tub.


Cute picture Ava took of Jessie.

While weed whacking in the back yard Dave accidentally hit a small pebble and it flew into the sliding patio door. CRAP right before we move!  The glass cracked for hours...Good thing the lock on the door was broken and we had notified our landlord years ago.  Now he has to replace it at no cost to us.


 Wish we had the swing doors... they are so much nicer and light weight.
