Sorry so long!

Things have been so crazy in the last few weeks! It's definately time to catch up!

So, Christmas was good for us! We spent Christmas Eve with the Ellison clan and got to see how everyone was doing on the challenge. Everyone is doing well from what I saw! Christmas Day was perfect. We just got each other a couple of little things, and called it good. My parents gave Caleb a box full of things he loves, and I got a Cricut! It was a great little Christmas!

We rang in the new year at Gen and Mike's house. They are always such great hosts! We really enjoy spending time with them! Caleb had been sick, and was finally starting to feel better by then, so it was really nice! Lots of seven layer dip and tacos!

So, with the weight loss challenge, Caleb has lost about 13 and I've lost 27 so far. We are really excited! We are getting healthy, and that's what we really wanted. I like that most of my pants aren't fitting as well now, but at the same time I hate it, because we can't afford for me to get a new pair yet. :) Oh well! I'm just going to have to get really good at altering all of my clothes!

This last Thursday my Mother in Law Kathie had knee replacement surgery. She's been in the hospital until this morning, so we have been going back and forth a lot! I'm happy to say that she is doing really well right now. It's still going to be a long road to perfect recovery, but she is doing great for the fact she only had surgery 5 days ago!

Love you all to bits! I'll be better about this! I promise!
