My nephew, his girlfriend and their 3 kids came over while my brother was in town. I hadn't seen my nephew for 20 years (it's complicated) and I met my great nieces and newborn great nephew for the first time.
This is my brother and I. And if you noticed I lost some weight since the last time I posted a picture of myself...yes, I've lost 80 lbs so far. I still have a ways to go though.
Me and my sister in law. She's holding my great nephew.
My nephew and grandson talking video games.
My brother came with me and Falcor for a walk so he could shine his flashlight down one of the manhole covers down to the tunnels. He said it's about 25 feet down to the bottom and the metal ladder that's there looks small. lol He said he wanted to go down in the tunnels to look around but thought better of it.
I was up early most days and got a few nice sunrise pictures.
At least we had really nice cool weather this week.
Lots of cloud cover too.
Nice sunrise pictures.
ReplyDeleteYour brother was wise not to go down into the tunnels. Considering what you've got wandering around on the surface, God knows what could be down there. Morlocks, maybe.
Congratulations on the weight loss! That's damn difficult. Eighty pounds is a real accomplishment.
Ha! Morlocks! Now that would be scary.
DeleteMy brother isn't in the best health, he carries around oxygen so it's a good thing he didn't try scaling the ladder down there.
Thank you. It has been hard to lose that much but I'm still trying. I appreciate that.
80 pounds? Well done!
ReplyDeleteAnd how nice to reconnect with family. Love your sunrises too.
Thank you. I still have a ways to go but this was a good amount so far.
DeleteYes, well done! Keep at it. Bet you feel so much better.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got to spend time with family.
I am feeling better. Thank you.
DeleteHi, Mary!
ReplyDeleteIt was a pleasure to see pictures of your family taken during their recent visit. You are looking fit as a fiddle, and I congratulate you on your weight loss journey. The natural beauty of those morning skies cannot be overstated. Enjoy the cool air while it is still available.
I'm returning with a new post at Shady's Place next Tuesday, April 1, and invite you to join the fun if you can. Until then, I wish you and my buddy Falcor a safe and happy weekend, dear friend Mary!
Thank you. I will visit when you are back on Tuesday.
DeleteI am so glad you had a nice visit with family. I love when family visits but then I also enjoy the quiet when they leave, ha ha.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Haha, yes I do too.
DeleteThat must have been quite an exciting visit. How lovely to see your brother and look at all those babies. Cute little children. I'm not sure I'd go down that tunnel either just because of yuck,lol. Anyone who loses 80 lb as you have is to be commended. Cannot be easy.
ReplyDeleteThank you. So many kids. lol I wouldn't go down the tunnel. I appreciate that. It's been hard but I'm still trying.
DeleteI’m glad you were able to get together with all of them. Yes, family dynamics can be complicated. And I’m happy for your weight loss journey. That is such an accomplishment!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much.
DeleteLooks like a nice family get-together. And congrats on the weight loss, so well done! I guess eating that healthy food is paying off!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Yes, it's paying off really good.
DeleteA nice mingling of the generations, all learning from each other.
ReplyDeleteIt was a nice visit.
DeleteEven when it's complicated it's nice to reconnect with family. Good job taking steps to improve your health by taking off some weight.
ReplyDeleteIt was a nice visit. Thank you, I am feeling better.
DeleteSensible of your brother not to go down the tunnels. Looks like a good family get-together.
ReplyDeleteYeah, not going down there was a good decision.
DeleteQuite the family reunion! And wow, 80 lbs is a huge accomplishment. I wonder what your brother would have found down there (apart from a bunch of homeless people)...wise move not to go down.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I appreciate that. Not going down there was a good idea.
DeleteA house full of kids, that does not happen a lot! Hope Falcor survived them LOL Love your flowery blouse!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Falcor wanted to bite them all. lol
DeleteSo glad for this wonderful reunion.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteWell done dropping 80 pounds off your weight.... just imagine, that's 40 2 pound bags of sugar, think how much room that would take in your cart if you were grocery shopping! You would need 3 or 4 carts. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much.
DeleteThat's so nice that you could spend time with your brother and nephew and family like that. And congrats on losing 80 pounds. That's awesome! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, it was a nice visit.
DeleteIt's good that you're making reconnections with family members. Holding a baby is always something sweet. :) And 80 lbs! That's amazing. I know how hard it is to lose even 10. You're a rockstar.
ReplyDeleteThank you. The baby was so cute. It's taken me 10 months to lose that so far. I'm trying for a bit more.
DeleteI'm sure it was great to see your family.
ReplyDeleteIt was.
DeleteI think its neat that you got to host family and see them after so long. Woohoo on the weight loss!
ReplyDeleteIt was nice seeing family again. Thank you
DeleteWonderful to have your family come for a visit. Congrats on the weight loss and the sunrise photos are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much.
DeleteIt's wonderful that you were able to have a family reunion. Twenty years is a long time, so it's great you were able to reconnect with your nephew and meet his kids. 80 pounds! Amazing! You look great!
ReplyDeleteThank you it was a nice visit. I appreciate that.
DeleteWow! Congrats on your weigh loss and gorgeous sky photos ~

DeleteFun photos, thanks for sharing them and you look great. I wouldn't want to go down in those tunnels!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I wouldn't go down there either.
DeleteGood to see the photos, Mary and for you to see the little ones.
ReplyDeleteYou have done a good job with your weight.
Thank you.
DeleteCongrats on your weight loss! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate that.
DeleteYes, beware the tunnels. You look great Mary. I am glad you had a nice visit.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much.
DeleteMary, you look amazing! Is the weight loss helping with your health issues? I'm glad you had a good visit with family. The kids are darling.
ReplyDeleteYes it is. I'm off one of my diabetes medications and don't get out of breath too much anymore.
DeleteNice photos :) And congrats on loosing that weight
