Lucia celebrated her 1st birthday on the 24th of July and Sasha's 5th was the week earlier on the 17th.
And since I never mention too much about myself, I'll have to tell that I've lost 45 pounds since Lucia was born. Needless to say I gain lots of weight in my pregnancies! So I would love to still lose another 20, but who wouldn't right? But I'm pretty psyched that I can fit back into pants I was wearing before I had Lucia, not pre-Sasha or Ramona pants yet though. And the other huge accomplishment in my life is that I've finally weaned myself off of the diet soda. Those of you who know we know that I'm a huge diet coke junkie, like many sodas each day. But I've just been hearing so much horrible stuff about aspartame and I watched this documentary on it Sweet Misery: A Poisoned World and Mike has been harassing me tons about it so after a few tries I think I've finally done it! It's been replaced with seltzer water with a splash of white grape juice. There's a bite in the seltzer that seems similar to that in diet sodas, so it seems to be doing the trick, but no aspartame.
Okay, so that's actually a lot about me. I'll try to get birthday photos up soon I promise.

Wow! That's so awesome! I bet you anything more weight will come off just from dropping the soda. That's awesome. Way to go. So proud of you! I know, (my) Mike is always talking about how bad aspartame is. It's in a lot of yogurts, so I always check the ingredients list now.
Rock on! I kicked the soda habit this summer as well. Every now and then I still want a cold coke, but know I'm better off for it. That seltzer and white grape juice deal sounds nice. Congrats! on the weight loss! be proud of yourself as many moms don't ever lose any of it!
glad you & yours are well.
ok miss skinny, I wanna see some pics of you! Way to go Mel, that's just awesome! soda sucks!
