So my little baby turned three on Sept. 19th. I can't believe how big he is. He has been doing really well in his big boy bed. We haven't really fell out since that fisrt weekend in the bed, we only get out of bed to go potty or to get Mommy (either to get me because he is scared or because it is time to get up).
On his birthday, we went to the grocery store and he picked out a cake flavor he wanted - strawberry. So then I bought the ingredients to make cream cheese frosting as well. We opened presents on the webcam with Auntie April and my parents. O was very excited by his bowling set and train set. He wasn't as enthused about the clothes, but he did actually try to put them on a bit later (and putting pajama pants over jeans is no easy task!) We watched our Husker football game (which brought us down a little bit) and then went to Chuck E Cheese for supper, just the three of us.
Brandon and I finally went on our first date since we have lived in KY on Friday. A student of mine has a 12 year-old daughter who wants to babysit and we brought him over to their house on Wednesday so they could meet and see how it went. Since it went well, she watched him on Friday (with Mom's supervision at their house!). Brandon and I were celebrating our 7 year anniversary (on the 21st) and we went to Outback for supper and then to shoot some darts. I haven't been to a bar in a long time and really wish that there was a smoking ban here too! I actually beat the hubby at a few games of 501 (although he had to double-out, I didn't). All in all, I good night.

Weight update:
Unfortunately, no new weight loss to report. The good news, there is no weight gain to report. My racquetball partners have been out for different reasons lately and I'm honestly too lazy to go over to the rec center to get on a treadmill. Need to get back at this full force, hopefully get to play rball today!
Quinnie's Birthday Countdown!

Weight Update
As a lot of you know, I have always wanted to lose this weight, but just haven't been able to. After everything that happened last month, I made a goal of trying to lose as much weight as possible before getting pregnant again. In the last month, I have lost 10 lbs which I am very excited about. My goal was to lose 30 lbs before Christmas, so I only have 20 lbs to go and and bit more than 3 months left.
Here is a pic update from 8/26
Now that the semester is in full swing and my RPT materials are turned in (today!) I have less excuses on the working out side. I am playing racquetball twice a week with two different opponents, meaning I get to play 4 times a week (assuming they don't cancel or we don't have meetings). In a little bit, I would like to start lifting weights again, but it has been so long and haven't done it at NKU before, so I need to find someone to show me how to use the equipment - I hate feeling like a dork!
I'll post another pic around the end of the month but try to update about every two weeks on my weight progress. I figure if I'm accountable to anyone that reads this blog, it will make it a bit harder to cheat and fail. So keep me accountable and give me motivation, ok?

Fall is beginning
I can't say that I have been horribly disappointed with the mild weather that we have been having. I have never been one that really enjoyed the hot weather - I feel I should only sweat when I'm actually working doing something!
Husker football kicked off last night, and from what I heard, we looked pretty good! Nothing quite like college football to make you feel like the cooler weather is coming...I can just imagine being at the stadium where I have to wear my sweatshirt and that is just about right. Rooting for my team with my hubby sitting next to me...doesn't get much better than that. However, having my little O. sitting on my lap watching football on tv gets pretty darn close to beating being at the game!
Last night was a tough one as O. was getting sick last night. He didn't want to sleep on the couch with me, so I was in and out of his room most of the night, every hour or two. We had spent yesterday at the furniture store getting him his new bed. We inteneded to just get a headboard and a twin mattress, we ended up with this:
It was a pretty good deal that we couldn't pass up. Also, since his room isn't huge, this will definitely work well for his room. Want to also get him a new dresser in the near future, we'll see when we may be able to afford it!
He has been doing real well with his potty training. Hoping that after we get him in his new bed and tell him he can get up to go potty, he may be able to TRY to wear big boy pants at night too! His bed will be delivered this weekend. I can't believe that time has gone by this fast with him. I can only hope that God will bless this family with another one in the near future. If it isn't in the plan, I'll be happy with the great little family I have.
