I’m hijacking Erin’s blog to let you know that she ran her race this morning. She ran it in 31:26—several minutes faster than her best training time, even though this course was more hilly. She placed 7 out of 9 in her age group, and 117th overall. Good job Erin!

Jonathan loves star wars.  A while back he had a period where he would watch star wars everyday—or parts of it anyways.  Then something else came into his life—I think it was motorcycles, yep definately motorcycles.  Anyways, just recently he found another star wars movie we have—Empire Strikes Back, so he wanted to watch that [...]

Tomorrow morning I am running my 5k!!!! Well- I’m going to TRY and run it.  In my training over the past two weeks- I’ve gradually worked from walking/jogging to just this wednesday running most of the way and giving myself a warm up at the beginning and a 3 min break/walk 1/2 way through.  My [...]

I don’t understand why doctors offices or any offices for that matter have answering services- sure for emergencys, but really what are the people going to tell you that you don’t already know if it’s an emergency?  Call 911, or they are going to tell you to call back during office hours.

I’ve been posting a lot on Jonathan lately, but Lachlan has not been forgotten.  he keeps me busy and on my toes.  he is such a sweet baby.  you would hardly know he was mine with his blue eyes and blond hair.  He is 9 1/2 mos old already and so proud of himself in [...]

Today Jonathan was in his first primary program.  He didn’t sing any of the songs, though he sings them at home.  He said his part really fast which I’m surprised he did even that- he gets kind of quiet in front of people.  His teacher is so sweet and she helped him.  After he said [...]

Yesterday, despite my tiredness, I took the boys out to our weekly playdate with some ladies from church.  It was so fun- the weather was perfect, the conversation was good and the whining of children was next to nil.  As I mentioned previously, I’ve been keeping my outings to a minimum- so I was uncertain [...]

Most rewards for Moms are intangible.  The past two days though, Jonathan has told me I was a nice girl.  In the first instance I had packed him a lunch- peanut butter& honey & craisins tortilla, carrots and apple slices.  He opened it and said “OH THANKS MOM, You’re a nice girl”…It made me laugh [...]

Not that anyone cares- but I think it’s kind of fun to do this. Often times we all get caught up in our day to day lives and then we wonder where all the time went and what we really accomplished. Of couse I’m learning that crossing things off my list doesn’t necessarily [...]

If you don’t all know by now I love to exercise. That doesn’t mean I don’t have days where I don’t want to exercise (wait a minute let me add that up…that’s three don’ts…so it’s still a negative right???? right) because I do- it’s just that 9.5 times out of 10 I decide to [...]
