Hi everyone!
I was "in the neighborhood" and thought I'd visit! It's been about a year and a half since I even entered this web address on my computer! I read a little bit and want to say Congratulations, LBH on your upcoming baby!! Wow I can't believe how time goes by! It seems so recent to me that you (and RR and Karen) announced you were pregnant before! By the way, the pictures of your babies are wonderful! I am very happy for all of you!

Hello to everyone I have not met. I used to post here a long time ago.

In my weight loss life I have not done a whole lot but I've done some... On January 1st I started a modified version of the South Beach diet and lost 27 pounds. Since around May I've slid off ... more toward the north beach I guess... and gained about 12 to 15 pounds back. I recently rejoined my cardio kickboxing class after a long time (maybe a year or more) of not going.

In my other life, I left my job after 14 years to take a job teaching special education in the town where I live. It is a wonderful move for me. I love it very much. I miss my old "school family" but we are arranging to see each other whenever we can. I love being close to home, near my son, and I love teaching special ed. I love my new school and my new supervisor and principal. It is a really good place for me. The family is all great... dh and ds are as wonderful as ever.

Rabbit, glad to see you are still doing well! You seem to have the same positive outlook I remember, and admire so much. Good to "see" you.

RR, LBH, and Karen it is good to see you here as well. I hope all is well. It seems like you are all doing great in your roles as mommies and I'm so happy for you!

To all the newer people, good luck with your goals. You are with good, supportive, people!

I hope no one minds the intrusion. I can't promise to post regularly... but I did want to at least visit.

All my best!
Dani

Hi Guys,

Dani: Wow, it's cool to see you here. It's nice to hear that things are going so well for you and that you love your job. I know it's hard to leave a job when you like the people you work with. I did the same thing when I left my job to stay home. Drop by whenever you feel like it. We are always happy to hear from you.

We went to Philly for Boo at the Zoo today and we had a great time!! Alex really seemed to enjoy it. He liked trying to bite the candy through the bags. The only problem was that everything they were giving out had peanuts in it. Whenever we found them giving something without them, I made DH go back for more! I will put it up and dole it out to him little by little. The other stuff will either go to work with DH or we will use it tomorrow.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend.

DANI! Oh my gosh it is so great to hear from you! You sound like you are doing so well in your life and I'm pleased for you. Thanks for your kind comments and please post whenever you can.!!!

I've had a wonderful Saturday. Dh and I went hiking in the woods and loved it! We're talking about taking off next weekend, doing more hiking, maybe hitting a fall festival, and we're very excited. It's our anniversary and it sounds like such a fun trip.

Hope you all are enjoying the fall weather! Ok, I'm off to a weiner roast.
