Long Time No Write!!

So where do I begin. It's been awhile.

Well after my last post I had to quit my diet. The side effect for Ella were not worth it. She wasn't going #2. She went 2 weeks without going. Then she finally went 1 week after I quit the diet. The good news is that I have kept the weight off and am continuing to loose! I lost another 2 pounds. Now I am only 18 pounds away from my goal. I have been doing a lot of walking. It's 6 and a half kms (2.5 miles) to the animal farm and I have walked there and back a few times! That's 13 kms in a day sometimes not counting the walking around the park and such. Claudia loves going there to see the animals and of course the beach.

Since my last blog I have undertaken the arduous task of looking after my little brother all summer. He's a good kid but he's a handful! We went on the 6.5 km walk yesterday. He was really good. We played on the beach and went to the farm. It was all fun and games until it started raining. Which wouldn't be so bad if we weren't a 50 minute walk from home with 3 kids! It all worked out though!

Well Wednesday is Claudia's birthday. 6 years old already! Wow time flies. I can't wait to see her face when she gets the trampoline. We are planning on having a party for her on the weekend after Canada Day Weekend. Maybe have some of her friends from church over for a jumping/water party!!

In my wandering on the internet I came across an excellent blog about Catholicism. It is really helpful for any of you who are trying to minister to friends who are Catholic. It's www.catholicismdoctrines.blogspot.com. I have found it to be an excellent tool!!

Anyway I have to be going. I promise to write more often!!

In His Gracious Grip,

Alicia
