Mom and Lorelei came for a visit this week. What a great time that was. Lorelei is my only niece on my side and is the oldest of all the cousins. She is 3. Everytime I talk to her on the phone she asks when she can come to my house. So Amma made it happen, she brought her all the way here. (2 hour drive) They came on Tuesday morning and left after lunch today, Thursday. Lorelei got to play in the sprinkler, go to the park, play in the backyard playset, sleep in Christopher's room(!), and spend lots of time with Auntie.
So fun, but when it was time to leave, she wouldn't give hugs good bye because that would mean she was accepting that she had to go home. Christopher insisted on keeping her bed in his room "just in case", he had tears in his eyes when they left as well. I love the bond they have with each other.
It was great having company in Mom for a few days as well. Most of my daycare kiddos are on vacation so the groups were very small and I had another adult to talk with during the day. I think that is one of the biggest things I miss about teaching. Other adults. Thank goodness I have my online friends to chat with in my journal and on the message boards. I think they keep me sane many a day when I haven't heard a voice belonging to someone over the age of 4 all day.

Mom brought a very thought provoking book along and now I am trying a whole new approach to losing this baby weight I am carrying around. Here is a video with the author
Basically it is high fats, no refined carbs, lower whole carbs, high protein. So far so good, I have lost 3.5 pounds in just a couple of days. Fingers crossed that this is the plan for me to actually have success with.
