Here are a few pics from Mason's b-day party. I think everyone had a great time.

Diet Update

Well, during phase 1 of South Beach, I have lost 4.5 lbs. Not too bad. I would have liked to lost more, but I have to keep remembering that I didn't put it on overnight. I should just be glad that I don't feel like I'm suffering or starving. It really is a change of lifestyle more so than a diet. I'm not big on all the veggies, but that's OK. It's not a huge deal. I still have to work in exercise. That seems to be the hardest to do between work and the kid's activities.

I'll chat with you all later.

Wind Storm Damage

I never would have thought that we would get such bad weather from a hurricane in Ohio. We had horrible winds, up to 75mph gusts, on Sunday. I guess it was from Hurrican Ike. There was a lot of damage and a lot of people without power. They are comparing is to our ice storm of 2005. We were out of power then for almost 8 days over Christmas that year. Thank GOD, we did not lose our power this time. We have friends that are still waiting for their power to be fixed. They are saying is could be this Sunday before all power is restored. There are more people out this time than there was in that December storm. School is cancelled again tomorrow for the 3rd day. We'll probably be making up school days on Satudays this year. The kids hate that!!! We're praying for all the people that have had damage done to their property and for those without power.

God Bless,
Angel

Here's a video of Madisyn singing about Jesus.
