20 lbs off

After having Michael I found it really hard to get on the treadmill and exercise. I just wanted a fast way to lose the pounds left from the pregnacy. One of my friends told me about HCG drops and how much weight you can loose in just a few weeks. After I researched the product I gave it a try for 3 weeks and I lost 17 pounds. Since then I have lost 3 more without the drops and have been able to maintain the 20lbs off for more than four months. I really like the weight that I am at but I feel that I need more energy. I know I have to add more exercise into my life in order to increase my energy level. If this weather will cool off any time soon I might feel motivated to start running again.

Natural history museum

What else have we done in April? Well, lot's of things but one that was worth mentioning was going to the museum with grandma (buni Lengyel). We love spending time with her!

Walk With Christ

Walk With Christ was an activity that we were able to attend with my parents in April. We traveled through different rooms at church, each portraying a different event that gave us a better understanding of Christ's life.  It was a great experience for our entire family.

I am sorry the pictures are blurry, they were taken with my phone and I have to say they are not doing justice to how beautiful each room really was.



 

Easter

This year for Easter we had grandma (buni Gaby) and grandpa (bunicu Dodo) Lengyel at our home. It was wonderful! They arrived at the end of March and by the time April came we were ready with the the menu for the most delicious traditional Romanian dishes that I grew up with. Not only were the appetizers and the main course finger licking good but also the deserts were amazing. Fresh flowers and beautiful painted eggs added to the beauty of the table on Easter morning. The children enjoyed the Easter egg hunt with daddy, buni Gaby and bunicu Dodo after church in our own back yard. Their baskets were full of chocolate eggs and chocolate bunnies within minutes and it did not take long for them to start eating them. That evening we also got to Skype and wish Happy Easter to the rest of my family in Spain. It sure was a special Easter that brought back many memories. Even better I was able to see the joy in my childrens eyes and add that to the wonderful memories that I will cherish forever.

Nature Center

We love having the nature center just few minutes away from our house. It's always such a fun place to go and visit/play when the weather does not allow us to play outside. Here are some more pics taken in the spring.
