I did it!! My adrenaline must still be pumping because I’m on cloud 9! All I ever wanted was to finish, but I was hoping for a time between 2:11-2:15. Well, I beat that big time! Compared to a “real” runner my time is still slow (about a 9:19 minute mile average) but I am … Read more
Countdown to Race Day!
We are gearing up for the big weekend, the Cleveland Marathon! We are making it a big family event and staying downtown for the festivities. Gabriel and Grant are in the “fun run” and can’t wait for their race too!:) We are going to video tape parts of it, I’m hoping to post a portion … Read more
Sitter Search
I am really trying not to stress out! We’ve been on the hunt for a part-time nanny/babysitter to replace my mom and so far, nothing!!. At first we thought it might be a no-brainer, there are so many college students out for summer and I thought that would be a good place to start. Turns … Read more
Happy Birthday Garrett!
Here is my big guy on his big day! His hat isn’t on quite right but I think it just adds to the cuteness. Can’t resist those dimples!:) “I’m one!!”:) Today has been filled with tons of hugs and fun (and yes, some tears from mommy too). I’ll be back later to update but for … Read more
3 Amigos
They they are, my three little buddies looking angelic and reflective. That’s why I had to post the photo…those moments are so rare!:) Lol. No, I’m kidding. This is a picture I do want to frame though. I always liked looking-out-the-window photos and especially with them lined up like that, it’s a keeper.:) This has … Read more
French Toast and Feeling Sick
What a week! Gabriel has strep throat and a really bad stomach bug. I felt so bad for him, he couldn’t keep anything down and I did a ton of extra laundry which kept me busy too.:) Thankfully he’s doing good today though and should be back to school on Monday. We started a new … Read more
Date Night and More Running
It’s been a great few days! We had a really fun weekend and seemed to cram a lot in. Friday night the boys had a play date and Jim and I had the house all to ourselves! We were going to go out to dinner but ended up ordering gourmet to-go, had a picnic in … Read more
Grouchy Garrett
Garrett has been just plain miserable this week. He’s cutting several teeth at once, his Eczema is acting up, and he’s been having “digestion” problems. Poor buddy! No wonder he’s grumpy! I’ve been cuddling him non-stop which I love but he gets mad the moment I put him down. Thankfully Gabriel and Grant have stepped … Read more
Easter Photos Finally!
Better late than never!:) It’s so hard to get all three boys to pose, sit still, and smile! Obviously Garrett is too little to get what’s going on but we did manage to get a few keepers. Garrett has the stunned “who are these people and what am I doing here” look!:) A little better! … Read more
Smoky Mountains Here We Come!!!
I am counting the days until our summer vacation! It’s still about 4 months away but after today I am chomping at the bit to go. We are staying in a log cabin in the middle of the Smoky Mountains in Pigeon Forge, TN. From rocking chairs overlooking the mountains to white water rafting, fishing, … Read more
