Spring has Sprung (I hope!)


Finally we have a warm day. Yesterday was pretty decent, but today the high is supposed to be in the 70s! That's warmer than we ever kept our house during the winter! Whoa! Well, it's been a great day. Eden and I took some lunch to Clint out at the seminary building, and we all sat outside on a blanket and enjoyed our little picnic, while we watched the baseball team practice. Clint and Eden are now taking a nap, and I'm wondering, "Hey, why am I not taking a nap too?" Well, I have started packing up a few things here and there. We don't know where Clint will be teaching seminary, but we will find out soon, and then it's "adios Blackfoot, Idaho!"
Pregnant Sara, 20 weeks along (halfway there!)

I thought I would leave you with a tip from your friendly neighborhood dietitian. Did you know that 1.4 ounces of dark chocolate has almost 10 times the antioxidant power of 1/2 cup of broccoli! Now I'm not telling you to skip the broccoli and load up on chocolate, but I just thought it was interesting. Also, cocoa and chocolate may also have beneficial effects on maintaining healthy blood sugar levels, increasing blood flow in the brain, and keeping skin healthy. Great news eh!

You look great, Sara! You are so cute, and so thin! I like the thought for the day about dark chocolate. I think it's so great you're a dietitian. My mom wants to go back to school to become a dietitian as well. I'll have to tell her to check out your blog!

Are you sure you're pregnant? You look great! Thanks for the dietitian tips...you should make a weekly post about some little tid bit of information. I often wish I had majored in Dietitian...I am truly fascinated with it and always reading everything about it.

Eden is so adorable! Hopefully I will be able to see her next week in Heber!
