Philadelphia Marathon

As promised, below are pictures from our wonderful weekend as a family in Pennsylvania.

Micah in his new carrier, a ErgoBaby, at Maggiano's ready to carbo-load the night before the race.

Christian and Micah at dinner. This was Micah's first time in a high chair, and although he did a good job, I think he's still a bit small for the high chair yet.

Chillin' on the hotel bed before bedtime.

Christian capturing me during the run - this time at the 6 mile marker. The last picture is me trying to grab Micah's attention, but from the picture below, you can see he was in quite a daze. He did, however, flash me a big smile once he realized it was his momma coming up to him:)

"Am I really out here this early in cold weather?"

I did it! First marathon in 2+ years at 5 1/2 months post-Micah. 3:51:36 - I'll take it:)


I love this picture of the two of us - Christian does such a nice job capturing sweet moments.

I had received this onesie from a friend prior to Micah's birth, and I knew the timing would be close to him being able to wear it for the race (it was a 3-6 month clothing item, and Micah was 5 1/2 months) but it fit, and although too cold to wear out in front, I had to show it off for a picture after the race and the symbolism that it holds.

Family shot, with the rocky steps in the background. Quite inspiring:)

Back at the hotel after a long but fun morning.

After we took naps (Micah) and got cleaned up (Kelly) we all headed out for some site-seeing in Philly. We couldn't come all that way and not see some of the very historic sites for American history.

This was the place where Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence.

The place where the liberty bell is now encased, with Independence Hall in the background.

Betsy Ross' House - and the home of the original American Flag.
