A little late Easter Bunny

Due to some hold-ups at the hospital, we just now got to snap some pictures of our "Easter Bunny".

Hope everyone had a Hoppy Easter!

The Faces of Elly K

In love with this face! Can you tell??

The Love of Our Lives!

Ellyn Katherine Schlenker (Elly K) is here! She arrived Tuesday, April 3 at 5:49 p.m. She weighed in at 7 pounds & 1 ounce, 19.75 inches long!! She might only be two days old but we are so in LOVE already!!

Surprise!

Jonathan and I are ready for our little one to get here! Of course, for those that didn't know about our surprise, I'll give you all the details later!

A Love/Hate Relationship

I have decided that I truly have a love/hate relationship with this time of the year. 

Here's why....

What I LOVE:

1. That I can wear flip flops and other open toe shoes. 
2. That the temperature outside it not too hot nor too cold on most days.
3. All the pretty blooms that are starting to peek out.
4. That is doesn't get dark at 5:30ish.

 What I HATE:

1. That I need to spend the money on a pedicure since my now-visible-to-everyone toes are no longer in hiding. 
2. That one day the weather might be perfect and in the low 70s but the next day could be the low 50s. I'm not a fan of going from short sleeves to a sweater in a 24 hour period.
3. All those pretty blooms mean a whole lot of ALLERGY issues. FYI - I have almost made it through 4 weeks of non-stop stuffiness....
4. The time change! Why we still change the time twice a year is beyond me. Can someone on put a stop to the nonsense? This morning (and everyone morning this week) was NOT FUN! The alarm said 6:00 but my body knows its still 5:00!

On most days, my love for this time of the year out weighs the hate I might have. However, today is not one of those days....Let's just point the finger at #4 under the Hate List (and I'll let you decide what finger I'm referring to)!

Flip flops!!

No matter what time of year, when it's this warm outside you can't help but wear flip flops! Oh the joys of the South!

Succeeding.....

In January, I didn't want to announce a list of New Year's resolutions only to fail miserably at them. So I thought I would wait and see how one of them went before announcing it to everyone. I guess I can finally post about the exercising habits that I have tried to implement this year, considering today is my 25th day to walk 20 - 30 minutes in 2012!

 

 You see, I have free access to a treadmill at work, so when I started back to work in January, I started walking each day too! Everyday that I'm at work (FYI - I only work 4 days a week), I walk. So far, so good! I have only missed walking 2 days and I'm pretty proud of that too.

 

Nevertheless, I'm not out to be the fastest or lose any weight, I just want to get off my butt and DO SOMETHING! Some days I only have time to do 20 minutes but other days I can walk 30. AND not that time matters either, I just need to be more active!!

 

So I hope that you are succeeding at some of your New Year's Resolution's too!
