I didn't realize how long it's been since I have posted here.

So, here is a rundown of our life lately...

In April, I went to Tennessee (by myself!) for a brief visit with family, then my sisters and I went down to Gulf Shores, Alabama for a girls vacation. We decided, during the 8 hour drive down, that our big brother might not appreciate being pestered via text messaging by us, so we promptly began texting him with hourly updates of our adventures. The texting lasted for the entire 3 days of vacation, complete with pictures.

Last year, when we had our girls vacation in Chicago, we all got tattoos, but this year all we got were fabulous shoes and great tans. (See above)

We are wrapping up our school year, finishing June 11th. I have managed to downgrade our commitments by ending music lessons and gymnastics. We will finish the year strong, though, curriculum wise- having accomplished most of what I set out the do this year.

The summer will bring a few reading and math lessons, but I have managed to bribe the kids into thinking that this is a good idea.

Testing will come in June, and I will most likely have them evaluated by a teacher (Jane Sullard, who did their evaluations last year.)

I started a new diet a few days ago, called the HCG diet, and it's working really well. I am excited to finally get the weight off and reset my body back to lower measurements. The Naturopath that I am seeing is really positive about the changes, and so am I.
