Why We Gather Today

I looked at my blog this morning (I do that sometimes). What I saw was a shocking lack of photos.
Isn't that why you gather to my blog? To see photos of the chilluns? I go to my friend Kallee's blog daily because I know I can always count on a new photo of her adorable little cherub.
Anyway, I thought I'd remedy that.
Let me tell you the tale of our Sunday night.
I'd had a bad week (food and other wise). It was getting me no closer to my pre-Jane-weight-by-2nd-birthday goal.
I'd made a pan of brownies the Sunday before and basically ate the whole pan myself. Then I had a recurrence of my vertigo problem and drowned my sorrows in my favorite foods (involving a lot of chocolate, salt and ranch -- not together).
I decided to start fresh Monday after I made cookies for my family. (Which, P.S., I weighed this morning and I lost more than 2 pounds again. Which gives me a new theory: Chocolate, ranch and salt support my metabolism. That could happen, right?)
So, Jane helped me make the cookies,

while Lane and Elliot watched some football game.

Just as I was feeling like a 1950's Red Book cover, my darling daughter grabs my spare apron and goes to put it on Lane.

That's my little Betty Friedan.

Your posts are always a treat to read, photos or not. That said, I do enjoy pictures of your photogenic children. Jane looks so cute in that apron. And I'm sure Lane looked great in his apron, too :)
