Here are two of my wonderful grandchildren. One of my friends calls grandchildren grands. She's from the south so maybe it a southern thing. I kind of like it! Julien on the left is almost six, and yes, he is very tall. This photo was taken Easter afternoon. We decided he was still a little guy on the inside and needed a stuffed animal in his Easter basket. He was thrilled and carried it around most of the day. This is the guy who runs all the technology in the house, received the best boy kindergartener reader award, and has spent a lot of his life trying to keep up with his very tall brothers. The fact that he is so big for his age is hard on everyone because you tend to expect him to be more mature that he really is ~ he's still a little guy loving his stuffed animal. Zuzu on the right will probably never be the tallest in her class, etc., so she won't have to face some of the challenges all three of my grandsons have had to face. She is almost a year old and she and I spend a lot of time skyping. When she sees me on the computer screen and hears my voice, the smile I get back is, yes, priceless!

One More Time to Start Again

I was so sure that I was going to write a post everyday a couple of weeks ago and then I fell off the wagon! I've been thinking a lot about why I am not motivated to write and I think it is because I don't have a goal. When I started this blog it was all about losing weight. Now I have the attitude of been there, done that,and so there is no framework for my ramblings. I do have many wonderful things going on in my life that I relate to friends and family, but no earth shaking announcements, like I lost a half a pound. And, I also think that if I expect people to take the time to read this, I should have something to say, which makes me laugh because when I was blogging about my weight it wasn't all that exciting most of the time. I remember writing about cracking and having a Dairy Queen baby cone. You would have thought I had fallen off Mt. Everest I was so upset with myself. But I am going to write more often, mostly for myself and I'll not worry that I need to entertain and inform.
