WOW! A long time!

I can't believe that it has been almost a year since I have posted anything. Shame on me! I don't have any pictures for you all because our computer broke and we had to buy a new one. When I get the pictures from our old one transferred over I'll try to get some posted. I can't promise how quickly that will happen owing to my history with posting. (hee hee)
Elizabeth turned three in October. She is so big! I can understand most everything she says to me now and she is all over the place. She loves to sing and dance and play with Eva. She thinks that she is the little mommy and can frequently be heard telling Eva what to do and even tries to put her in time out. She is her own little person and want to do everything herself. She definitely tests my boundaries, but for the most part she is very sweet. It is a constant challenge to get her to eat. I am at my wits end with it. She has set things that she will eat and if I give her anything new it is a struggle to get her to try it. If she does try it she gags on it. The other day it was so bad that she actually threw up. What do I do? Any advice would be great!
Eva is 21 months old now. I can't believe she is almost two. She is talking a lot and I can understand quite a bit of it now. She is not one to be pushed around. I think it is a second child thing. She doesn't let Elizabeth or anyone else bully her. She is kind of mischievous. She likes to grab the toy that Elizabeth is playing with and run off giggling as Elizabeth sits there and cries. I have a hard time not laughing when she does that. Eva absolutely loves her Daddy. She screams and runs to him whenever he comes home. (In fact both of my girls are daddy's girls.)
Lance is doing well at Walgreen's and with the National Guard. He has more training that he has to go do for the Army. He will be gone to the Dominican Republic for 2 weeks in May then off to Ft. Lee, Virginia for 4 months in June. I find it interesting that Lance will be at the same military base that my grandfather did his basic and AIT training for the Korean War at. I am going to miss him so much. It is going to be a lonesome summer.
I am doing really well. My goal of losing weight is coming along nicely. I'm half way to my goal. I've lost 25.6 lbs. I found a program called Live the Life and it has really helped me get control of my eating and overall health. I highly recommend it. Well I can't think of anymore updates so, Bye!
