This is the second song I made for Ryland. I can sing this one to any other children with which we may be blessed in the future.

I have a really quiet voice, and the volume on my camera isn’t the best, so if you care to listen, you may need to turn it way up. 

If you still can’t hear the words:

Go to sleep my baby.

Sleep my precious child.

The God above looks down in love,

So let your dreams be mild.

Go to sleep my baby.

Sleep my little dear,

For I love you and Dad does, too, 

And we are very near.

Go to sleep my baby.

Sleep for you are blessed.

So hush your cries and close you eyes.

It’s time to get some rest.

I made a vlog yesterday.

In it, I ask a question. Any thoughts?

yes…video…

Walking up the stair hill.

I hope you don’t get motion sickness from watching this.

Here’s a little video of Ryland.

We’re headed out towards the state line so we’ll be halfway home if they call today.

I like to make up songs.

In fitblr-related news:

• my pants are all falling off and I don’t understand it
• I’m also losing more hair in the shower and while combing and I don’t know if that means I’m not eating enough or if it’s because of sleep deprivation.
• Yesterday a woman said, “Wow, look at you!” when we told her Ryland was 4 days old and she saw me. Then we told her we adopted.
• I haven’t exercised at all except some walking around yesterday. I plan to workout a little in the hotel room tomorrow after Jeremy leaves while I’m waiting for my dad to get down here.

My last set of 32 v-ups, unless I miscounted. They get pretty sloppy once I get tired, but the first 16 or so are pretty tight (though blurry in the video).

Week 4, day 1 (level 3) of push ups & v-ups: 21+25+21+21+32=120

They were hard today.

Feel free to critique me if you like.

The battery of my camera died.

I did these pull up things instead of tricep dips because of my wrist. 38 total. No 80’s music, but you do get to watch my camera fall a couple times.

pennies for jumps.wmv (by snikkio16)

No costume or lip-syncing, but I squeezed out 46 jumps in all. My camera likes to cut off before I’m done with my videos, so I patched 2 together. You still don’t get to see all of them.

I would’ve done one more round, but it was kind of making my back hurt. :/

The video cut off, but here is my start of Chrysti’s plank on ball challenge. We don’t have medicine balls at school (or at my house), so I used a basketball since they’re close to the same size.

I made it 45 sec. before falling off.

I don’t normally tuck in my sweaters, justsoyaknow.

This is for Audrey. It’s really not that interesting.

Does anyone know how to make the horrible squeaking form the webcam go away?

If you don’t want to be spoiled on the introduction of the compilation video, then don’t watch this. If you don’t mind, it’s only 54 seconds.

I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. ~Psalm 139:14

For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your bodyand in your spirit, which are God’s. ~1 Corinthians 6:20

I am a real, beautiful woman because

• God created me in His image.
• I’m better at loving others than I am at loving myself.
• I’m learning to love myself.
• I never let depression win.
• I have a smile that makes others smile.
• I am empathetic.
• I am creative.
