Up and Moving ...a little faster than a snail's pace

I am regaining my energy everyday. I also seem to have regained my appetite!!!! Christian and I joined his brother Sohel, my parents and Janna at IHOP this morning for quite a breakfast. It was nice to be out, though I was ready for a nap by the end of breakfast. I try to go on short walks everyday and may opt for a stroll on the treadmill this afternoon because of the cold weather.
Thanks for your continued messages, they help keep me going strong!!!

Ok so glad to here that IHOP is in the picture! That has got to be a good sign. As for you little missy, hope you are resting, relaxing, laughing a little and practicing your slide tackles. Ok maybe not the last one. Love you so much and can't wait to see you soon.
