It’s been a beautiful October! I love a mild fall! I think I’ve finally given in and accepted that summer is over. :( (ps: Lars hasn’t. Just yesterday he threw his backpack on the ground and said “I hate this stupid backpack. I am NOT going to SCHOOL!). Good thing all the kids really do enjoy school - once they get there.
Lars lost his first tooth this week! He said he pushed it out with his tongue. :) I keep telling him he has to stay little — and he is NOT in favor of that command from me. wink wink
Dirk and I got to go on a “date” Friday night — they aren’t as rare as they used to be… with Thor & Anika old enough to stay home with the little sister & brother, we actually get out fairly regularly now. By regularly I mean when Dirk gets home from work early enough on a Friday to not fall asleep half-way though supper. The brownie plate was dessert after a Mexican meal at Que Pasa. Holli and her friend Mike joined us for dessert. It was a fun time to get to visit with two grown ups! :)

These last two pics are a 'before' and 'after" of myself -- the pic on the right is October 2014 - about a year ago. The picture with Liv was just a couple of days ago - October 2015. I've been doing "Weigh Down" and slowly but surely shrinking and giving up my addiction to food. It's not a fast process for me - but an area of obedience I knew I needed to tackle for some time now. It's fun to be on this side, and have a few blessings to show for the work I've been putting in. I've lost about 25-30 pounds - dropped 4 "sizes" -- and I'm still going. It's not about what weight or what size I am -- it's about being a good steward of the what God has given me. Blessings and smiles. N
