What's New With The Elrod's?

So much has been happening here lately. Ivy has started crawling, pulling up, and attempting to stand on her own. This all happened in a two week time period. She had just been rolling and army crawling everywhere she wanted to go, but now she is crawling. She loves to pull up on things and stand up. She gets so excited sometimes that she falls down! She LOVES to watch Sesame Street. It is so cute! She laughs and talks to the tv! She is now 8 1/2 months old! Time flies!

Ben is going through a growth spirt. He has shot up all of a sudden! He's grown a inch and a half since January! He now has a fish tank in his room and we are going to pick out what fish he wants probably this weekend. It was a compromise on my part. He and his daddy wanted to get a snake, and I didn't so we decided on fish. He loves T-Ball! Well, he loves to hit the ball and run the bases, but when he is on the feild he is all over the place and doesn't want to pay attention. Oh well, he's 3! I can't understand how my little man is going to 4 in less than 2 months? I seems like he was just Ivy's age...... :( Makes me kinda sad.

I am doing pretty good on weight loss. I gained 91 lbs w/ Ivy!!!! I know, that's alot! I now have about 15-20 more lbs to loose to be pre-Ivy weight. I would be ok with loosing even more but if I can just loose that much I would be happy. I wil post some pics soon. I'm still working at the Cafe in Hastings. I realy do love it. Well, most of the time.

Alan is still at Yorozu. They are letting people go like crazy. We are not going to stress about Alan loosing his job. God will provide. Besides, we can't do anything about it. Whatever happens will be ok. He is taking the summer off from school but is planning on going back in the fall.

June 25th is the day Alan and I first met, 10 years ago! It really doesn't feel like it's been that long.

I just want to wish my mom and dad a happy anniversary! Yesterday, June 2, was their 31st anniversary. They are the best parents anyone could ask for. I want what they have. I hope Alan and I are as happy as they are 25 years from now. I love you mom and dad!

I hope everyone has a great summer!
