MP3

Hannah and Isaac are now more advanced than Aaron or myself when it comes to technology. They each purchased their own MP3 players today! It's a long story how this all came about, but they both having savings accounts that they put gift money and things for stuff just like this. So they spent some of their money today to purchase this neat little invention. They can't wait to use them after they are all charged up! Hannah especially has been showing more of an interest in popular music, so this will be handy. It will also be nice on the road when they are fighting over what music to listen to, or when the adults want to listen to talk radio :). Now the adults just need to figure out how these little things work. It can't be too hard. I think I might need to get one for myself one of these days!

As for my fitness challenge, I have been doing well. I've managed to get some work out time in each day, some days more than others, but I am still moving. I've been pretty good about watching what I eat. I am hopeful that when I weigh in and measure on Saturday that I will see some progress. That would be very encouraging.

Eli's first tooth is just about ready to cut through. His poor mouth is swollen and he is way more drooly than normal... and he is a very drooly baby even when he isn't teething. I think I have gone through about 20 bibs today, no joke! The poor little guy is fussy and irritable and not sleeping well. This is not like my sweet baby at all. He must hurt an awful lot. Last night I was frustrated that he wouldn't go to sleep and then I was frustrated that I was frustrated because I knew he was just in pain and having difficulty with it. Today was better. He sure will be cute with a toothy smile!
