Give Thanks

Ever wonder how to say thank you when you see a military person in uniform?
See a simple way to do it from across a room or as you are passing by.

This is really cool, no matter your views on the war.

The Biggest Loser

So I have become completely sucked into Biggest Loser this season, so much that I have not watched American Idol, except during commercials. Thank goodness for Rachel's updates.

I am so fascinated with this show. These people lose so much weight it is ridiculous! I mean, Roger has lost 130 pounds in 15 weeks. Granted he started out at almost 400 pounds. The two women left have each lost almost 100 pounds. But I try to remember that they are on the show with trainers, a great gym and don't have to go to work like the rest of us.

They are now down to the final 4, and next Tuesday is the finale. Kelly is in the top 2 and I'm really impressed. She never wins any of the challenges and is always the underdog, but she always tries her hardest and I give her credit for that. I know she won't win, but I admire her determination.

You can vote for which person to send home at nbc.com. I will vote, I just haven't decided for who yet.

Lifesaver!

I have been meaning to post about the Sound Spa Lullaby from Homedics. Preston received this as a gift and it is great. I tried a ton of projector-type crib toys when Ashley was a baby and they were all pretty much worthless. This has music and noises (ocean, rain, etc) along with a really cool projector that is completely adjustable and comes with interchangeable disks. Preston will lay in his crib and just stare at them until he falls asleep. Plus it has a timer so it doesn't have to stay on all night, or turn off too soon! And it is small so it doesn't take up too much room or look out of place in the nursery. A great gift for someone with a newborn!

NKOTB!

I know I'm not the only one who is excited about the New Kids on The Block reunion, although I might be the only one to admit it. I was so in love with them when I was younger, I think they were my first real celebrity crushes. I wanted to download some of their songs from iTunes the other night and Eric made fun of me. I won't let that stop me though!

Success!

I have been afraid to mention for fear of jinxing myself, but I think we are in the clear. Ashley has been sleeping in her bed for a few weeks now without any problems. This is HUGE for her and for us. We're so proud of her. She is really a big kid now, no more toddler-hood for her!

3 Months Old!

Happy 3 Months to Preston!

He is now smiling and laughing and is such a fun baby. He is really laid-back, content to just sit back and take it all in.

They grow so fast.
