A few updates!

Where to begin!!! I do not have pictures to post with this one, but hopefully will within the next couple of days!
Life has been a tad on the hectic side. Emily had been learning so many new words here lately, it just amazes me! This past weekend we went on a quick trip to Amish country to go to a water park in Shipshewana, IN. There were so many buggies and horses...it was unreal! But the wood work was completely amazing. I took a picture of Emily rocking on one of the rocking horses. I would love to get her one, but I am not about to pay $100 for one! She had so much fun swimming.
There was a little kids area in the water park. There were 2 side by side water slides that they could use too. It was just perfect for her. I have no idea how many she down that thing! We also went down the lazy river together and she LOVED that. She woudl run and get the innertube and bring it to me when she would want to go! Uncle Rob took her down the big people water slide and she loved that too. She didn't much care for the big bucket that would fill up and then dump! It was neat to watch her interact with other children. Luckily, since I have moved back here to to Michigan, I have never had to leave Emily at a daycare of a babysitter. On the bad side of that, she has missed interacting with children her own age. This weekend, I got to sit back and watch her. It was so neat to just see the way she is with them vs. how she is with her cousins. I kind of wish there were play groups or something like that back here that I could take her to a few times a week.
And as for me, I have signed myself up for a program that the company that I work for is doing. ..The Biggest Loser!! I weighed in for the first time last Monday. Yesterday I weighed in again...I lost ONE pound! AGH! I did the cardiac diet, walked 1.5 miles on the treadmill every day, and I only lost ONE pound! However, I am trying to not let it get me down, and I am still working my butt off this week. Now next Monday if I weigh in and I have only lost a pound, then I might just break down and cry!
It is still so cold back here. This week we are going to make it to above freezing temps though!!! Last week our low's were -40 with windchills! I was freezing. I am an Oregon girl...this weather is not in my blood! Tomorrow we are expected to have a high of 27, and then Thursday...34!!! YAY!!! It is way too cold for me to take Emily out, so the poor thing can't play in the "snowk!"
I will attempt to get pictures on her very shortly. I have a few cute ones!
