Mom here

Alicia: I can see that happening to me if I don't watch out. The treats etc. at school this time of year are killers! The Friendship guild had placed a nice little tray of a carrot cake muffin, malted milk bars, candy corn, etc. on my desk. I ate it ALL yesterday. Oh man. I DID exercise yesterday morning, though. Laura, if you think of it, bring along the other Firm videos to the Thanksgiving get together. If not, no big deal. The nice thing about the one I do is that it's automatic. I don't have to "think" while working out. Love you all. Marcus is liking his bed!Sarah and Nora, I'm sure your places look nice for Christmas. Can't wait to get our decorations up too. It's a wonderful time of year. Laura, I hope you called Julie last night. It was so nice of her to call and offer her insights about Anna. She works with children who have all sorts of special needs, and said she wished she could work with Anna. She said it's very good that she sits and can stand, and that wearing shoes ( maybe even orthodics) will be a good thing.
