Hi all,
Well so far so good, as Alex comes off the steroids. If all goes well this weekend, he'll be taken off completely on Monday. He has been spending his days running errands with me or working puzzles. He has even attempted a 500 piece puzzle, but sister (now renamed: Two) keeps pulling all puzzle pieces off the table and onto the floor. So Alex is a bit frustrated. Zoe (I mean Two) has really been doing a wonderful job of testing those limits. Her teacher and I agreed this morning that she is destined for greatness. Not only because she has that aura about her but that she absolutely, positively, won't settle for anything less than what she wants!! And she wants alot!! Whew, I'm tired just typing about it.
Nonetheless, she's a keeper and we love her so. Tomorrow she should have a wonderful day at a local charity's annual picnic. There will be animals and carnival like rides, etc. It should be a real treat. Steve and I have been invited to a play (our neighbor is in it) so we have a babysitter coming over and we plan on having a date night!! There may even be a drink or two involved. Whoo Hoo living the big life now!!
On the subject of BIG, so far Steve has lost over 19 pounds and I have lost over 11. That's 30 pounds GONE since we started this program!! It is still very hard to manage the food restrictions, but we are getting the hang of it. Wish us well.
Okay, well things are moving forward with the fund raisers! I hope you all plan on coming! We would love to have you!
Have a wonderful day and God bless!
G

A 550 piece puzzle--wow, although it's no surprise because from what I've seen, Alex definitely has strengths in concentration and perseverance. I think those skills also lend themselves well to dealing with Two's presence. :)
A hearty congratulations on the first 30 pounds gone between you both--that is very exciting.
I'm glad this transition off of steroids has been so smooth--good news all around!

"Two" lingers. Olivia (two too) is 3 1/2 and Two is still here. Its here right this very minute.
