Well here it is......the first post.  I have given a great deal of thought to what I might say but that was apparently a huge waste of time.  Similar to my many papers in grad school.  I'll spend time leading up to the due date planning in my head what I'm going to write about but then life happens and I end up throwing it together at the last minute (procrastination?).  Luckily, this has lead to straight A's and the internship of my dreams next year.  So this post will be of the same nature so please bare with me.  

It's Saturday here and less than sunny.  It has been kind of strange day which is perfect because it was a long, strange week.  We ventured to target this morning to pick up some new Thomas the Train undies for Macie because well.... the girl likes Thomas.  I mean really likes Thomas the train but is terrified of real trains (long story).  While we were there, we purchased a bike pump to use on my jogger since it currently has a flat.  I'm trying to commit to a 30 day health/fitness challenge starting May 1st and with nice weather coming the jogger is essential.  For this challenge, I'm giving up soda (hopefully permanently but let's not get ahead of ourselves now) and also candy.  I'll keep you guys updated on how it goes and post some recipes that have become staples of healthy eating for our family.  

I'll end this with a proud mama moment from today right before Macie fell asleep for her nap.  After she asked to get naked for the third time (a current obsession)... she sang me the ABC's.  Seriously, the whole darn song!!! My mouth practically dropped open because I had no clue she could sing the whole song!  It is amazing how quickly she is growing up and it shocks me everyday because she is wicked smart.  Tomorrow "Vicki, Vicki" aka Grandma Vicki comes to visit and it should be a fabulous end to our weekend. Have a great Saturday night!
