New Beginnings

I decided to delete my entire blog and weight records and start fresh.  It's a bit much when you look at things and realize you haven't bothered updating or anything for almost a full year.

So here is a quick family update ... we now have 5 children.  Caleb came into the world last week (Friday) weighing 7lbs, 14oz.  This makes 1 girl (Ilene) and 4 boys (Jacob, Joseph, Thomas, and Caleb).  We are homeschooling them, which can make for very interesting days.  (Today was a prime example ... my 3yo decided to do an experiment to see how many pebbles it would take to thoroughly clog the bathroom sink -- the answer is 23!)

We are working towards building the healthiest lifestyles possible for all of us ... from diet to general activities to personal time (teaching the kids to take time for themselves to set goals, etc)

My former highschool is celebrating its 75th anniversary in 2010, and I opened my yap and said I'd gladly "help" ... so now I'm chairing the registration/website/database committee(s).  That's going to occupy a lot of time over the next year and a half ... but Scott is quite supportive and willing to pitch in wherever he can as well (from cooking to laundry to whatever)

I can't promise to blog frequently, but I will when I can ... and I will check in at least once per month.  And now I'm taking Caleb and heading to bed.
