I guess you could call it a belated New Year’s resolution: last week I finally decided I need some professional help to get rid of the slight bulge around my middle that came from having Brayden. Motivation has not really been my problem, cause I do enjoy exercise — I just don’t know what kinds of things I need to do to accomplish my goal. So I’m meeting with a personal trainer on Monday. I’m pretty excited about it, so we’ll see what happens.

Justin is also making a new start these days: he just got glasses. For a long time now he’s been squinting or closing one eye when he focuses on something up close, so I finally took him to the optometrist. It turns out one eye is fine but the other is a bit farsighted. The good news is that he loves the glasses and we haven’t had any trouble getting him to wear them (maybe they actually work!) Good stuff.
