Happy Mother's Day!

11 May 2008--Mother's Day!

Sofia said to me the other day when I asked what she and Dylan thought they should do for Mother's Day that they should wake up before mom and then... jump on the bed and yell: "Happy Mother's Day!" I said, "um, a much better idea would be to let mommy sleep and then make her breakfast." Sofia thought about it for a moment and then said, "that's a much better idea!" So we let mommy sleep and made her pancakes...

Before that though, I went on my longest run yet: 12.3 miles. I got up at 6:30 and the run took about 2 hours. Mileage count is up to 183.59

Here's the route I took:

And now we are seven

So Dylan is seven. We asked him what he wanted to do for his birthday, he said he wanted to go to Magic Life because of the water slides...which we did. Pictures to follow, but I wanted to post and let folks now that he had a very nice birthday weekend. We're all a bit crispy, but I won't say that too loud since some of you aren't near anywhere that either a) has a beach or b) has weather that would make going to a beach worthwhile anyway.

Also, in keeping with the recent spirit of my posts--took a 5k jog on the beach. I don't recommend running on that particular beach though. My shoes are now soaked. If you click on the map below you can go the website where I built the map. Ask it to show you the satellite view and you can get an overhead view of the Magic Life resort. Our room was in the building closest to the beach. Pretty sweet.

Oh, mileage count = 115.51

April 3rd

Several reasons why the 3rd of April is important:

1) Alex's birthday (he's two today!)

2) Christine and Jim's Anniversary (22nd...I think)

3) Amelia's birthday (um, she's probably 30 by now?)

4) My Dad's birthday (I won't tell you other than to say that I'm 32 now and he was 24 when I was born...you do the math).

5) Stefanie and David's Anniversary (yes, that would be us! She's been officially required to put up with me for 9 years now!)

So, happy birthday and happy anniversary to all!
