Now can I stay here another 5 days?

I've officially reached my goal of 40 lbs!!! And as long as I can hold it together for 5 more days, then greg's Get-Fit-A-Thon will be a success!

On a walk with Daddy

Last Saturday I (Ashley) enjoyed a day out shopping with my Mom and sister. While we were out Greg took the kids out for a walk and took some sweet pictures. Here are a few.

Cutting It Close?

We arrived home on Saturday afternoon from our NC/FL trip. Since I hadn't stepped onto our "official" scale in almost 3 weeks, I was eager. After all, I ran 6-8 mornings while away and fared decently well on the food front (with exception to Grandma's obscenely good peanut butter fudge AND peanut butter cookies, not to mention Mom's Rice Crispy Treats--heavenly heavy on the marshmellows). Now that I think of it, I would have been happy if I just didn't GAIN any weight. I'm excited to declare that I blessed the scale with my 240.0 pound self this morning after running for 45 minutes. That leaves me with only 6.7 pounds to lose by September 1st!

My Sweet Babies!

I have to share these!

A few vacation pics

We are having a great time here in Florida. We have had plenty of pool and beach time despite the daily afternoon showers. Here are a few pictures.

Here is Abby's first experience flying a kite.
