Stephane being Stephane

Stephane is my biggest cheeser. Whenever I pull out the camera he stops everything and says cheese. Even when I'm trying to get him to continue to do something that he probably shouldn't. I sure love him so much and he's just so darn cute.

Spring Pictures 22 April 2010

Yesterday I took the kids out for a spring photo shoot. Marie-Eve has been asking me to take pictures with the pink flower trees since she saw them 2 years ago. Well, I finally did it. Then we went to the parade field to blow bubbles and just play. I only wish the clouds weren't so low so Mt. Rainier was in the background. Well, I guess we will just have to go again. I took a million pictures and here are just a little sample.

Stuffy noses

I want to tell you about this wonderful product that I have found. It is Graco's NasalClear® Battery Operated Nasal Aspirator. I bought it on a whim since Jean-Louis has been stuffy pretty much since he was born. It has been working great to pull all the stuff out of his nose. I used it for the first time today with Stephane and man I can't believe all the stuff that it is pulling out of there. He woke up this morning with a constant runny nose and since I started using it it is a long time before it strts coming out again. If you don't have one of these yet I suggest you go and get one.

April 5 2010

So I was a bit disappointed this morning when I stepped onto the scale. In the last week I've gained 2lbs. What? Well, I'm not one of the lucky ones that just shed pounds while breastfeeding but I really didn't think I would gain weight. I know I have struggled with this after each child but have not actually been weighing myself and keeping track. The only thing I can think of is that I'm eating to many calories so I'm going to start tracking how much I eat. I'm going to use my account on sparkpeople.com to do this. Hopefully this will help me. Here's to hoping.
