Pray, Pray, Pray!!!

Jana, Kenny, Charlie, and Sam have a court date. Next Wednesday is the big day! If all goes well, they'll be traveling to get the boys in just a few weeks. Start praying now. Get more info on the Cooks' blog.

Ice Storm

Yuck! Did I mention that I do not like winter?

Thankfully, we have had power back for a couple of days now. There are still thousands without power all around us, including the Cooks. They've been hanging out here a lot. Jana's even cooking us dinner at our house tonight!

We ended up with 3 inches of snow, an inch of ice, and another 3 inches of snow. It is pretty to look at, if you don't have to get out in it.

Make room, Aunt Patti. If this winter doesn't end soon, we're coming to California!

Yea for Dwayne.

No, I really mean it. I'm happy for him. Truly.

We have both worked out every day since this whole "Loser" thing began. We have both eaten very well, too. I'm really proud of us. We even decided to weigh in to check our progress.

After a week of total dedication to health and exercise, Dwayne lost four pounds. I gained a pound. Yes, you read correctly, GAINED a pound. I didn't gain a pound the week before when I wasn't busting my behind on the elliptical machine EVERY day. Remind me, why am I doing this???!!
