Keep on keeping on

Here are a few pictures from the last few weeks; the girls are both doing really well and keeping us very busy. Leighton is 9 months and goes in for her checkup Friday. She is crawling around and getting into everything. Daddy broke down and bought his girls a swingset for the backyard...Hadley is in heaven.

I had to travel for work last week; first time away from Leighton overnight. We all made it - whew. I also took a trip back to my youth as I finally saw Bon Jovi in concert; lost my voice to Bad Medicine but still yelled out the words to I'll Be There For You. It was lots of fun but way past my bedtime. I was a zombie at work the next day.

Speaking of bedtime, off I go.

Let's Go Racin'

Marsh and I ran the ING Georgia Half Marathon yesterday and recorded a PR of 1:41:34 which made me very happy. We shaved 5 minutes off our time since November. We focused alot on speed while training so I am glad it paid off. We really want to find a full marathon to train for but if we were to keep going right now that would put us ready to run in late June...and unless we want to go to the Pacific NW or Montana there aren't alot of choices. The fall is a bad time due to football...so we may have wait until 2011. In the meantime we are going to try to do more 10Ks locally; we've been remiss in our T-shirt collecting over the past few years :)

Happy Belated St Patty's Day

Also Leighton's 8 month birthday and her present is 2 upper teeth cutting through. Lucky girl!

Snow Pics

We got 3 inches yesterday (and that is enough - I don't see how your cope with 30 inches Laura). We may get more on Monday. Hadley had fun playing in the snow; unfortunately she does not yet own ski pants so she was a popsicle after a few minutes.

Freezing in February

We are so over this winter. I cannot imagine dealing with all of the snow that is falling to the north of us; these temps and the wind are bad enough.

It's business as usual around here; wish I had interesting info to share but it's kind of the daily routine. Both girls had bad colds that took 2 weeks to shake; I had it too, it went away, and now it seems to be back. We can thank pre-school for the germs:) It was rough on Leighton since she can't blow her nose!!

I always have great ideas for this blog when I run but then I either forget them or don't have enough time to really type it all in. Marsh has really focused on his running lately; we had a "date" last Sunday for a 10 miler and he set a blistering pace. I am still feeling it. He wants us to finish the half we're doing in March at some crazy sub 1:40 time...he might, but I don't think I can go that fast. 8 minute miles is killing me as it is. I am excited that he is so into it again though.

Gotta run (no pun intended)...the calls for Mommy have begun.

6 months old!

Leighton turned 6 months old last Sunday and we also celebrated her baptism! Her 1st tooth has come through and hoping the rest will be a little easier...she was quite cranky. She weighs 16 lbs, 1 oz and is 26.75 in tall. At 6 months, Hadley was 16 lbs even and the same height. Pretty cool.

Pretty much all about babies and work around here...running and reading mixed in early/late in the day. The days fly by much too fast.

Hope everyone is doing well!

First Day of Preschool!

Hadley had a great time - went in liked she owned the place. I am very proud of her.
