Ben's Back

I'm steady, weight wise. No real gain or loss. I did take a day off over the weekend, so I guess that's good news.

Mom, the fact that you lost 3 lbs while you had a few 'bad' days, is good news. It seems that maybe after a sustained amount of time eating less and better foods, the body starts to learn to shed weight. It may just take a while to kick in. Now is the time to keep going strong.

Our house is half way through the electrical and plumbing stage. We're ordering windows and kitchen cabinets this week. Still hoping for a September move-in date but I can never be too confident. I'll try and take some pics soon.

Brady had infected lymph nodes last week. His neck was swollen and he had a high fever. He was laid out flat on the couch for like 2 straight days - totally bizarre for Brady. It was oddly cute to see him all frowny faced and still for so long. He's back to his old self now, throwing things and screaming. I'm looking forward to seeing him spend time with the cousins both this week with Anna and in a couple weeks with Amy etc.
