It Must Be a Girl Thing!

I made it through three boys without having his problem. In fact, my boys all are very modest and don't even like to go swimming without a swim shirt on. Now that I have my sweet little princess, we can't seem to keep anything on her. She can figure her way out of almost any article of clothing we put on her and then immediately removes the diaper. She is an all natural beauty! I know that my little sister went through a nudy stage, but I am asking for some help. Even when we are out in public she prefers the natural look. Any suggestions???????

(Sorry for X rated picture. Just wanted to share the joy of our household right now!)

Family Photos!

We finally made it in to have family pictures taken. It was quite the challenge to get all 4 kids to look in the same direction and smile all at the same time. I think that we got a few really cute ones though!

Time of year!

I absolutely love this time of year. Everyone just seems to be in a slightly better mood. I love going into all the stores and hearing wonderful Christmas music (although I will admit that it starts a little early, they should wait for Thanksgiving to be over). The smells that go with it are just as amazing. I just feel better!

We are trying really hard to make it back home (California) for Christmas again this year. Issac is doing so great with work that he really deserves a nice vacation. I can't wait to see my family and friends.

I have about half of my Christmas shopping done already. I am so proud of myself. I am hoping to finish up after we get to California. That many less presents to try and hide in the car for the trip! :)

I know that I am kind of skipping over Thanksgiving, but it is so hard to get too excited about it this year when I can't really eat much yet, and the older boys won't be with us this year either. It's ok though, we are still very thankful for all of the many wonderful blessings that we have!

HCG

Ok, here is my latest update on my HCG progress. I am currently done with my injections and have just over two weeks left of the detox diet and then I can eat however I want! YEAH!!!!!
So, in the 4 weeks that I did the shots, I lost 25 lbs, 3 inches from each thigh, 3 inches from my hips, and 5 inches from my waist! I am so excited. I dropped 4 pants sizes! I am planning to do another half round after the first of the year and that should put me at my goal! More than half way there!

Poor Baby!

I felt so bad for McKenna today. She took a pretty nasty spill in the store and hit her face on a metal shelf. She took the top layer of skin off her poor little nose. It has just barely healed from her last fall. She also has a big bruise on her right cheek as a reminder of just how much her big brother loves her and loves it when she turns off the tv on him. I swear we don't abuse our children, but we're getting some really neat looks right now!
