Sarah is less moody and anything that contributes to that with her will stick around as habit here.
I lost some weight going GF, too. (Yes, that was also good.) It was so nice to go on our trip and be complimented on the weightloss. I saw my parents and brothers and their families back at Christmas time, so it was noticeable. I had fun telling everyone that "I weigh less than my driver's license says."

We've noticed that dairy bothers Samantha, gives her an upset stomach at night. We're trying to eat better. I've been trying to cook double at night so that we can eat the leftovers for lunch the next day. The other day, the girls were arguing about who got to eat the leftover squash - something I thought I'd never hear. (And there was plenty of squash; I even got some after they took what they wanted.) Tom is eating a wider variety of food, which is wonderful. He is still picky, but there is noticeable improvement. The only downside I've noticed with our dietary changes... we're trying to cut back on all grains in general. I need to be very sure Samantha eats enough and enough protein to last her a bit. Otherwise, she gets hungry and very grumpy. Oh! And we discovered LaraBars. Those will be going to school with the kids for snacks this year. Too bad they're not cheaper.
