6 Years Old!
I can't hardly believe it, but it's true. Hammie and Ree celebrated their 6th birthday 2 weeks ago. They had been looking forward to it since last year and I was asked how many more days until they turn 7!

Sad News.....
I do believe that Elmer the spider is dead. Not sure what happened but I noticed a Daddy Long Legs hovering next to him a few days ago and I'm pretty sure they can kill other spidies. Elmer is sort of curled up into a little ball and doesn't look quite right.
Lisa, I hope this helps cure any residual nighmare issues you may be having.
Rest in peace, Elmer!

Braggin' Rights
Bill and I have been keepin' on with our new eating/exercise regimen. He has lost between 10 and 15 pounds (he didn't take a starting weight) and I've lost 9. I think I can speak for both of us and say that we've noticed a big difference.
Aside from him getting over a bad cold, Bill has so much more energy than he used to. I haven't really noticed an energy change, but my headaches are less frequent and mostly treatable with ibuprofen rather than my migraine medicine.
It's also been interesting to see how much better "real" food tastes vs. the convenience items. Like last night I made homemade oven french fries and they had so much more flavor than the frozen stuff. The kids loved them. Another favorite for Bill and I is homemade hummus. Laugh all you want, it's good!
We're not perfect. We have one or two cheater meals a week, but even those are scaled down, healthier cheats than what they used to be. I definitely think it's a change we plan to stick with.

He's Ba-ack!
As we all know from watching Charlotte's web (one of the only kid movies I'll watch more than once), this isn't the same Elmer as last year. However, for the first time since I started to notice the little buggers, he sure looks like last year's specimen. I'm a little bummed that Mother Nature didn't send a different colored one.
I really don't like his choice of location, so this weekend I'm going to remove his web and see if he will pack his bags and head elsewhere on the deck.
