So, it's been a while since either Amanda or I have posted here on this blog. Just to let you know, I've been keeping strong from partaking of any processed sugars. Quite frankly, it seems like I've been too busy to give much attention to any type of sugary craving. However, last week I got a sweet tooth and needed to fix it before it fixed me and my goal of staying clean to the new year. So I did what any other person might do, and got on the internet looking for a sugar free apple pie recipe. It wasn't long before I found one and was in the kitchen making the dough and filling. I tell you that was the best apple pie I've ever eaten, except for the one I've had tonight. In a weeks time, I've made four of those suckers! No processed sugar too. There's all sorts of nice recipes that are easy to find on the internet. I've found that cooks.com has been a great source for easy and healthy recipes.
Watch out! I've been working on my Chuck Norris skills
Amanda and I have a competition going. It came as a result of her needing to do sit-ups and me wanting to beat her at something. So, she's got to do twice the amount of sit ups as I do push ups. The first time, which was just the other night, I was victorious - cruising easily to fifty while she was thirty or so shy from the finish. We're increasing the amount by five or ten each time, so I think she'll be whipping me pretty good before long

Ashlyn has come a long ways since the beginning of this trek and can now 1. Sit up on her own (for a few seconds before she gets excited and does a face plant or falls back or any other type of vertical descent from an upward position). and 2. can eat solid baby food. This change in diet for her has caused quite a bit of excitement around here... changing diapers has taken on a whole new meaning.
Anyhow, we're excited about coming up next month and seeing everyone. Ashlyn will be nearly 7 months by then and Amanda will be at least 3 months pregnant! Just kidding.
