Changed Avatar and added a couple of pics...

The pics were Sunday evening after we'd all been to the Zebulon Christmas Parade.  While "dressed," Wyatt's mama (my sis Tiana) was "trying" to get that right picture for their Christmas cards... which with a 3yo is a real challenge.  Basically you just snap and snap and snap pics and HOPE one is usable. So whilst we were doing that and I had on my festive sweater, I got sis to take a few of me and Wyatt for MY cards.  As you can imagine, by then, he was D.O.N.E. with the picture taking "event." 

But these are my first pics posted since 47 lbs. went bye-bye.  I saw lots of folks at the parade Sunday and came home with the big head because I heard lots of "Wow, you look GREAT" comments... some from friends and folks who know I had surgery and some from others who didn't know.  Next year, maybe I'll walk by those same folks at the parade and they won't even know me.   (<---That's "Marilyn Santa")  LOLOLO

They are right Wendy ... You do look great!

Thanks for sharing.

You look great, Wendy!!!! Congrats on the 47 pounds lost!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to see what we will both be like next year at this time!!! Keep up the good work!

You are looking great--very festive in that shirt!  Love the pictures!!

Thanks ladies! If you have a Roses nearby, they have the CUTEST Christmas/holiday sweaters.  I picked up a couple for this season that I'll have to pass on since they will be too BIG next year!

That is a cute picture.  Getting a 3 year old to do anything is a challenge.  I work with them everyday of the week.  But enjoy it, they grow up so fast.
