Alright....Progress!

So...I LOST 5 POUNDS!!!!!!!!!! How exciting, I never knew I would be so excited over losing five pounds before. But, after having a baby and still feeling like a whale, losing that little bit of weight is a huge acomplishment. Those of you who have just had babies, you know what I'm talking about. Anyways, after seeing the scale this morning I had to celebrate. And, how do you celebrate losing weight? Going shopping and eating something totally unhealthy. Well, this day has definately made my month way better. This is one of the only good things that happened this month. (1st) I had to go back to work part time this month, which means six hours a day away from Matthew :( (2nd) Nathan might be laid off from Mercruiser since they are downsizing. They are getting rid of at least 100 employees. Which might mean we have to move where Nathan can get work with decent pay (Oh the sadness).
But, there have been good things that happened...like Fathers Day, and my sister Kathleen is staying with us for all of June (she is a huge help around here). And the coolest thing that happened this month is Matthew learned how to smile. He is adorable!

Children

Children are the greatest blessing anyone can ask for. Nathan and I have never been happier and we thank our Heavenly Father every day for this beautiful child we have been given. We have had the best time watching him grow everyday. I never thought I would ever get so excited over something so simple as a smile. I added these "babies laughing" videos because I love hearing a child laugh. Baby laughter is more contagious than the flu. Even if I am having a horrible day, if I just here one little laugh, I can't help but smile ear to ear....and I can't wait to put up videos of little Matthew laughing up a storm. So if you are ever in need of a smile or a laugh, just hear those babies laugh (I promise it will make your day).
