Seven on Sunda...er...(123/365)

- We should have had Texas Hash tonight, for Uncle James would have
been able to pass the torch on to his goddaughter. This was the first
night we had to make Alice sit at the table until her food was gone
and I have to say it worked much better than sending her to bed
without eating.

- I guess you could call Izzy a walker now. She still prefers to crawl
everywhere, but she is much more brave than she was even a few weeks
ago. She's practically running with her push toy, and her record is
about 10 consecutive steps without giving up.

- We're hoping to get to the zoo tomorrow. There is a new bear exhibit
that we want to see (and can see because we're members as it's not
officially open yet) that looks SO neat. I've got my fingers crossed
that Izzy wakes up feeling better as she went to bed quite cranky and
with a temp of almost 100*F.

- I've decided, the next time we take a long vacation it needs to be
out west. It's been ages since we've been that way and I think it's
time we went back. I haven't mentioned this to Matt yet though. Just
something I thought of when talking with Andi this weekend.

- I have an update on the cat brush I bought about a month ago. I'm
happy to report that Charlie hasn't had a hairball since before we got
the brush (and if you recall, he had been an at least once a week kind
of cat)! I also only have to brush him once a week now as his coat is
all thinned out. No more softball sized lump of hair to throw away
anymore, yay! Now if I could only get Roxy to sit nice long enough to
defur her. She doesn't have haiball issues, but she's getting hair on
everything!

- As of today the weightloss challenge we started in January is over!
We should find out by Wednesday who won. My bet is on Matt, who lost
45.5 lbs! I can't be upset about my loss of 23 lbs, but I SO could
have done better if I had been more committed.

- I cannot get the theme song to the 80s cartoon, The Littles out of
my head. It's on Netflix streaming and Alice is OBSESSED with the show
and movie. If we're watching TV, chances are we're watching The
Littles. Sorry, Mike, it's actually kind of growing on me.
