Yesterday Jeff and I went to see a couple of the Jr. All Star games- they were so cute! And, not too surprisingly, the kids were pretty good! Dad met us at the Cooler and we sat, drank our hot chocolate, and talked about Gavin's future on the ice. I mean, NOT that we're total "hockey parents" yet, think of "pageant moms", but it was pretty funny being the only people there yesterday without a kid on the ice.
Honestly, if Gavin shows zero interest in hockey, that's fine with Jeff and I. We'll encourage him in whatever sport, musical interest or hobby that he likes. I'll tell you what was surprising about yesterday, the cost that one parent said she spent in a year for her son to play- $20,000! Gulp.

Gavin and I hung out today- we had such fun! He's such a good little boy! Jeff is painting our living room right now. We hope to have it finished before our Super Bowl get together in a couple of weeks. Right now, Gavin is watching the Wiggles- he's still not sure what it is, but it still gives mommy a moment while he's occupied for a minute. Usually, the novelty only lasts about ten minutes, but I'll take it!
My uncle had surgery today ~ the doctors thought he might have colon cancer. Good news, it doesn't look like he does! They won't know for sure for another week, but at least its not as bad as they originally thought. I believe my grandfather had colon cancer, but can't remember.
I'm not one for New Year's resolutions- but I am resolving to loose some weight and get healthy this year. I want to live a long life to see my son have his own children. I'm a little inspired by a friend of mine- she had gastric bypass surgery and has lost quite a bit of weight. I know that I can't have the surgery, I don't think I'd want to- it'd have to be a last resort. But, ever since she did, she's completely changed her life. She works out regularly, eats well and its rubbing off on her family.
I've got a few books that I'm going to read- even one that my dad has talked about by a guy named Trudeau.

Its about eating organic foods and the overall food/grocery industry. I know there's some truth in it, it's amazing the stuff we put in our mouths. I'm reading a book right now called "Protein Power." Its pretty interesting. I have insulin resistance, so for me, a diet with higher protein, low fat and low carbs is better.
Ok- I've got a toddler who's hitting capacity playing upstairs with mom so I better get a snack in him before he bursts!

New Day
Just so you know where the title to the web page comes from- "Little Girl" is what Jeff and I call our dog Maggie. She's our "little girl"- we call her a variety of names, but this is our favorite- along with "LG".
So, the snow melted before the end of the day- what a disappointment! There's very little left on the ground today.
My dad and step-mom are coming down later today and we're all going to a hockey game. We are a hockey family. I grew up going to Flames games with my dad and my husband grew up going to New Jersey Devils games with his. I met my husband online and our first date was a Thrashers/Devils game. How appropriate...huh?
My two men let me sleep in this morning, so I guess I ought to go brush my teeth and start the day!

SNOW DAY!!!
For my first post, I thought I'd write about the beautiful snow falling in our neighborhood and that my son (the cutest red head in our world) is standing in front of me with a trash bag blowing bubbles through his mouth.
Who am I?
I am Stephanie, the mother of a sweet, adorable 18 month old boy, Gavin. My husband is Jeff- and he's wonderful!
This will be a quick post, just to get started because the snow is falling like crazy outside and, being that it's Atlanta, we never see the white stuff!!! I'll post pictures later.
Ok- out to run around and act like a 10 year old !
