Birthday and Batcakes

Hallo,

Nate is four. How did this happen? We've been in Halifax nearly a year, how did this happen? Where did the time go? What happened to my BABY?

Four

Nate is all about Star Wars these days. Justin has started him out with the last three, which of course are the first three to us. It's Luke and Han all the way baby! After debating how old he should be to watch them, we just put one on to see if he would be interested. He was. Now it is Star Wars all the time. Princess Leah is his companion and often comes to dinner. Luke and Darth Bader (yep Bader) fight with their light sabers in our livingroom. I have to say, it is gratifying when your kid likes some of the same things that things you do, although I don't know what that says for me-sharing interests with a four year old boy. I know all the transformers, and lots about Ben 10, Bakugan, and Batman (in truth, I only had to learn about Ben 10 and Bakugan, I already knew lots abou the others). The boy will never have to argue with me about spending his money on comics.

On the 'me' side its work and house and work on the house. I've recently joined weight watchers and have taken off just over 20 lbs. I felt that it was time for a bit of a change and I'm pretty happy with the way things are going. I have been cooking up a storm trying to make dishes that are both yummy and suitable for my new watching of the food lifestyle. Surprisingly, it isn't all that difficult as my diet was full of good foods to begin with. Mostly it is just watching portions and lightening up recipes with alternative ingredients.

I started this entry this morning and it is now almost 8pm. Not super exciting, but there it is. I wrote one.
