Let's see if you actually read...

This is a test! HAHA! To see if those of you who come to visit Lilly's blog actually read what it says, or if you just go to the good stuff (pic & video). When anyone posts a comment using the comment link below any single post, I get an email from the blogspot. And let me tell you, friends & family, how much I love your feedback! So please, if you visit, let me know! Thanks to Lilly's great aunt Joyce for always letting us know she's been visiting us online!

Hope you enjoy the newest pics and video. I guess it's pretty obvious that I'd rather use the Google Blogspot than the Babysites that I started with originally. I like the Babysites.com b/c I can upload more pics, but I like the blog better to be able to "narrate" what I upload. Plus, I still use the Babysite.com to send out email notifications that pictures have been updated.

Tom and I enjoyed a simple weekend. We both worked a bit on Saturday, did some Christmas shopping, overate at Ruby Tuesdays, did a million loads of laundry, took lots of Lilly pics and tidied up our overcrowed townhouse. I'm anticipating a busy (in a good way) week this week. There are a lot of things going on at work that I'm thrilled about, but will have to give you the details at a later date. Staying busy, even in a not-so-full-of-deadlines time. Still not feeling up to par. Blood pressure still too high. Have to get on new medications. I think I'm going to start Weight Watchers this week. I have gained waaaay too much weight - which I know is affecting my health. A friend at work made a comment (in jest) about how I'm still eating like a pregnant woman! LOL! Yep! It's time to cut back!

Anytime we have quiet time on the weekends, I always miss Elroy. It's still really difficult for me. So, after the parents left and then all of the company left, it felt particularly lonely without him this weekend. I'm starting to realize that this is a loss that will take a looooong time to get over (if I ever even do!).

Love to you all --
