First Father's Day

I think the only caption fitting for this picture is blissfulness.

This girl loves her daddy

and he loves her

and I love them both!  My heart is too full for words!

Peek-A-Boo

Peek

A

Boo!!

 Daddy is so excited that I'm reading the sports page!  He watched me while mommy was out and this is what we did.  The first thing he said when mommy walked in the door was "You have to see these pictures!  She is reading the sports page!"  Like father, like daughter!  She definitely does not take after me in this regard!  I'd rather read a dictionary.

The Results are In

What Color Are Audrey's Eyes?

Thanks to all who voted!  The majority believes Audrey has hazel eyes.  I voted gray.  Although, I think her eye color constantly changes.  Sometimes I'm confident that they are brown.  Tonight I was struck by the blueness of her irises.  Maybe they are still a work in progress? Or maybe my aunt hit the nail on the head when she asked,  "Can't we just call them beautiful?"  

I Want YOU to Vote...

Old MacDonald

Hey all!

Sometimes momma goes a little picture CrAzY!

She thinks I'm cute or something

Or maybe she feels bad when she forgets to snap a shot for a week or two

So she takes a million shots at once

Whatever, mom.

You should have taken my picture last week.

I'm too busy playing with Old MacDonald right now

My cute little toes will strike a pose for you, though

Ha.  Just foolin' ya.  I'll smile for the camera any time you pull it out!

First Week of REAL Food

Be still my heart....I love my little family!

So, I know you have ALL been wondering how our real food diet has been going.   I'm sure you constantly check our blog to see if we've written a post about the results so far, right? (j/k)  Well, here they are.

1) Weight

I gained a pound and then lost a pound and a half.  -.5 lbs for Caron
Joel lost one pound.  -1 lbs for Joel

2) Tummies

Our tummies are happy

3) Taste Buds

Our taste buds are a little bored.  I need to work on finding some new recipes!  We have been eating lots of beans, eggs, brown rice and fruits and vegetables...as well as some meat I accidentally overcooked (that probably did not help our bored taste buds)  I have thoroughly enjoyed the homemade guacamole and pico de gallo that Joel has made, though.  We also had a really good smoothie today.

4) Willpower
I have cheated 2.5 times.  I'd estimate that Joel has eaten non-real food about 6 times (things like ketchup, white bread, soda...etc).  I did say "no" to a chocolate lava cake the other day.  That was hard.

5) Enjoyment
I like this diet because it's healthy and well rounded.  I don't eat a lot of bread and fill up on beans, fruits, veggies and plain yogurt.  It's nice because I don't have to think about counting calories.

There you have it folks...those are the results of week one.  If you haven't voted on the poll on the upper left hand corner...DO IT!  It's completely anonymous and you'll add a little joy to my day.  Take a peek at these pictures before you do.

*Joel wants everyone to know that he has had to attend 2 picnics and 2 banquets.  He does have willpower:)

What Color Are My Eyes?

Are they brown?

Bluish?

Mamma wants to know what YOU think.

I have been told that Audrey's eyes are gray, green, brown and blue.  I have no idea what color they are?  My opinion changes every day.  Cast your vote on the upper left hand corner of the blog!
