The Payez Family

It has been WAYYYY too long since I blogged last. I hope I haven’t lost any readers, but I can only do so much. Mady and Savannah are just too adorable for words and BUSY BUSY BUSY. It is so hard to keep up with them and they are in the phase where they continually pick on eachother. Someone is always getting bitten…sometimes me! Christmas was a success, Santa was very generous with the girls this year and I think they were a little taken aback when they came down the stairs on Christmas morning (well, when we brought them down…it hasn’t been THAT long!) Not too much has happened since then….this is the time of year that I despise…I know Spring is coming, I am just waiting for it. I have undergone some changes myself recently…started working part-time for my dad in January and I really am enjoying it. Working with/for family can be difficult but we are so much alike that I think it is going to be a really good thing for both of us. I also had lap-band surgery in late January. It has been a challenge (much like everything else in my life) but I think the ends will justify the means. My weight has gone up and down so many times, and that has really taken it’s toll on me, emotionally. Just like I am bitter with people who are able to get pregnant so easily, I am also bitter with people who are thin and don’t even worry about their diet. And don’t even get me started on the skinny fertile ones….that’s just too harsh to think about. But I have lost 36 pounds to date since my consultation in December, and 25 since the surgery. I am pretty much back to normal now, eating solid foods again (I was on liquids for WAY too long) and my eating habits are a 180 degree difference from before surgery. I want control of my life, and am starting with my weight. This is something that has been nagging at me since puberty probably and I am ready to put it behind me and move on. While I know this will always be a battle, I want it to be something that I am in control of. Anyway, enough about myself!

And on to the big news………I’m PREGNANT again!!!

JUST KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get back on your chair now, and read the rest of this post.

The big news is really that MY BABIES ARE GOING TO PRESCHOOL THIS FALL. It’s a 2 year old program but still, this is the first of many steps up in their education. I can’t even fathom the idea of preschool but I think its just a great thing. They will be socializing with kids other than eachother and making friends and learning about themselves and I am very excited about it…nostalgic, but excited. It’s 2 days a week for an hour and a half at our church. It’s the same place where I went and the director of the preschool was my first teacher way back in the day. It’s just another milestone in a line of many to come.

So that’s about it for now, I suppose. I am really going to try and get some pictures up from December until now. Thanks for being faithful readers and sticking in with me!
