Easter weekend!

We had a great weekend filled with Easter egg hunts, egg dying and a resurrection celebration. Grandma and Grandpa came in to town as well, and we were thrilled to have some family time, too. My favorite part of the weekend I think was watching the boys walk in church waving their palm branches with their Sunday school classes, even though our pictures are blurry. I'm grateful for these moments to slow down and enjoy life together and remember the reason we have this life in the first place. Easter - Micah's favorite holiday!

Running Wall

After my New Orleans race, I have come up with a 50 in 50 goal...that is run my 50th state by the time I'm 50. It sounds ambitious, but also achievable and I'm excited to see how this plays out over the next 15 years! My friend Kim's husband created a running board for him and his wife, and I asked if he could make me 2(!) too. One for Christian and I to share, and one for all my marathons. I worked on it a bit a couple days ago and am excited with the outcome! This is the shared board (in the future) but is currently holding all my marathon medals. It feels a little more like "wow" to me when I saw it all displayed like this. A fun passion for sure!

Girlie Girl Gemma!!!

I love my girlie girl. Gemma loves her bows and her beads. She also loves pretending to put on make-up. And the latest was that she got her first pedicure the day I headed out for the New Orleans marathon. I would have been fully happy and content had my third child been a boy, but I have to admit, Gemma being a girl makes it so much fun! I love having a daughter to do girlie things with and can only imagine it getting better as she gets older.

 

Random February

After January's business at Disney, I wasn't sure February could be much more, but it turns out it was quite busy! We had a lot of fun and some not so fun moments (poor Reid's 5(!!!) cavities that needed to be filled... and we started the process and he bit his lip while it was numb!) I'm continuing to see Reid and Gemma bond while Micah's away at school and it just warms my heart. :)
