Growing so fast

It's so hard being away from family and not having the gas money to travel. I know with Rowan we traveled more but this year it's been really tough. Even a plane ticket is out of the question.

Rowan is growing like his garden (so he says) he is getting taller but also wider, his shirts are now between 3T and 4T 2 T seem to be middrift shirts, and his pants are between a 2T and 3T. 2t are just right in length but squeeze his belly, and 3T will be too long but perfect in the belly. I'm sure if I'd bought a sewing machine like I wanted to years agao I'd be able to fix this problem.

Calla is such a happy baby. she usually self soothes, can fall asleep on her own, and last night sleep almost 5 hrs before wanting to nurse then nursed for 10 min and fell back asleep and has been sleeping for 2 hrs since then.

She's actually laughing now. She loves Rowan and when she hears his voice will immediately turn to see him and smile. He was crying the other day when I was nursing her and he came to sit in my lap and she stopped nursing to laugh at him. it was hilarious.

I am working out like crazy. Seems harder to lose weight this time than it was with Rowan and I had gained 30 lbs more with rowan. But we have digital cable that has exercise TV and I can pick the workouts I want and it's incredible. this morning I did a Jillian Michaels workout (she was a trainer on the Biggest Loser) and boy is she tough.

I feel thinner than I am and Kevin said this is a good thing. But I have a 20 day challenge. I want to workout for 20 days then re-evaluate. My hope is that by 20 days I'll see results and have the stamina to keep going for an other 20 day challenge. I'm on day 10. I've been doing it for 2 weeks, but with kids and etc I've not been able to work out every day.

Kevin is doing Krav Magaw (have no idea if I spelled that right) But he's really enjoying it. I want to buy him a punching bag, He says he needs it to practice.

OUr 4 yr anniversary is Sunday which is also Fathers day. So we are all going duckpin bowling. (funfun) hopefully sometime next week my girlfriend can take them and we can actually get a date!!!
