I signed up to bring fruit salad to Halle’s school Halloween party today, and these are what I brought. How cute are they?!! They were a hit with the teachers. :)

Copying Liz and posting my favorite 2006 and 2007 pumpkin patch pics of Halle. :)

2007

I was tagged by Angelle to go to the folder of pictures on my computer and open the 4th folder, and upload the 4th picture, then explain it.

This photo was taken on September 3, 2007. Jason was repainting our house and Halle was toddling around, pushing her stroller around the cul-de-sac. If you haven’t posted your fours picture yet, consider yourself tagged.

As always, thanks to Erica Lynn Photography for the awesome photos. :)

Six years of marriage. Twelve years together. And still happy. Love you, babe!

Congratulations to our winners, Jason Konicki and Keri Donald! You confirmed what we all already knew.. that you two are the Biggest Losers! :)

Collectively, our ten competitors lost 160 pounds! I’m incredibly impressed with all of us! Here’s some of our stats:

Jason lost 32.6 lbs!
Keri lost 22.8 lbs!
Jill lost 25.3 lbs!
Justin lost 22 lbs!
Christina lost 20.5 lbs!
I lost 13.4 lbs!
Angelle lost 11.4 lbs!

I’d also like to note that during this competition Keri, Angelle and I all reached (or surpassed) our pre-pregnancy weight! Way to go, girls!

I was SOOO looking forward to posting my before/after photos today until I realized that the stupid harddrive crash that happened to my laptop last week took our before pictures with it. Sigh. Why am I so bad at backing up my photos? :( All I can say is, thank goodness for KodakGallery. Anyway, even though I lost countless videos of the girls, I was almost in tears this morning when I realized I lost our before pictures. This contest makes you crazy, I tell you. Anyway, I do have my starting weight photo since I sent that in an email.. so here are my before/after photos. And I’ll tell you.. I’m damn proud of them!

Ok, Elena is hungry. I’m going to go ahead and post this now, and I’ll post our after body shots in a few mintues. :)
