Vincent had his 3rd birthday this past Monday.
We had a quiet little family party for him on Sunday night. ..And by party I mean that all four of us ate birthday cake for dinner until we were sick…Oh it’s great to make the rules!

Don't Mind the Weight
I have not written too much lately and I am very sorry. I need quiet in order to do so and that is a rare thing in this house. I have things I want to kick around with you but have not been able to slow down and clear my mind.
We are getting ready to leave for our vacation next week and I wanted to post an update on my weight loss before we go. I am sure that 20 days of vacation, 1 cruise, and my Italian family is not conducive to continued weight loss but I'm going to try my darnedest.
To date I have lost 23 pounds and bunches of inches. I can't wait to buy some new clothes when we get back to the states!
So here are my before and right now pics just so you can get an idea of the improvement. I am quite honestly SHOCKED! I still feel as fat as ever and get very frustrated with myself and the numbers on the scale. I would still like to loose about 17-22 more pounds.
I'm doing a very good job and trying to keep myself motivated. I know that I will be able to reach my goal as long as I stay focused. The most important thing for me to realize is that I am not, nor will I ever be perfect and I need to start looking at myself and my accomplishments realistically.
So, here you go...photo time...

Happy Waffle Day Everyone!
Good Morning and Welcome to Waffle Day!
Waffle Day is the celebrated weekend day where we all get up early, sit around in our pajamas, and load up on carbs and sugar. It is a blessed occasion and time honored family event.
Today is extra special because…
Daddy is awake (sort of) before noon.
Vivi is eating her very first waffle.
Vin is ordering more and more waffles which he will never eat,
except for a few crispy edges.
And even Mommy ate one!
(I used spray butter and real maple syrup but still yummy.)
Tomorrow, on your Sunday, the Schrock Family invites you to keep the waffle festival alive and join us in a Waffle Day celebration!!
Come on, you know you want to!

What to do on a typhoony day
Today we were anticipating tormential typhoon conditions, whatever (eyes rolling), so we set up the tent, the tunnel, and made a table fort to play inside. (thx auntie shanin and ian)
As a true man and potty trainer would do, Vin played in his underwear.
He brought everything that he holds dear inside with him: letter blocks, letter magnets, shape blocks, a pillow, his Cars nice (blanket), and his blue blankie. He spent all day in there talking, singing, playing, peeing...oh wait I probably should not mention that part.
He even got to enjoy his favorite snack in there, popcorn!!
(pre-pee of course, I burned the sucker down post pee, lol)
