Train Ride

Emma went to Jackson's birthday party today. He had a train that took all of the kids around the neighborhood. The train played music and all of the kids were singing. We had a great time!

South Beach Diet

I have been doing the South Beach diet for two weeks now. Today is my last day of phase 1- the most restrictive phase of the diet. Phase 1 allows no sugars or carbs. I thought it would be really hard to give up sweets, bread, and chips, but it really hasn't been that bad. Luckily, my willpower has paid off! I have lost six and a half pounds during the first two weeks. My goal was to lose ten pounds, so I am over halfway there. Phase Two starts tomorrow. I will be able to begin eating good carbs again. Yay!!!

Nice Outfit!

My Smart Girl

Emma has gotten very interested lately in how you spell peoples' names. Tuesday night in the bathtub, she asked how to spell her name. I told her and never guessed that it would stick. Later on, I asked her how to spell Emma, and she told me E-M-M-A. Of course, I started screaming, she started laughing, and we had to call Gaga and Poppa. She told them how to spell her name too. Last night she told Richard when he got home from work! She is constantly amazing me with the things she learns. I will try to get it on video and post it soon!

Movies

After not going to the movies the entire 2 years we have lived in Tuscaloosa, Richard and I have now been to see two movies in the last two weeks! Both were great. I would recommend them both.
