Another nice weekend that went by way too fast.
• I think I can officially say that Ben is walking. I remember it being different with Tabby … one day she just started walking, everywhere. But Ben is a bit more uncertain (and 2 months earlier) and is taking progressively longer strolls, now around rooms. He's hugely pleased with himself.
• He has also turned into a big cuddlebug. I got him out of his crib on Saturday morning before Matt and Tabby were up and he and I played in his room and got him dressed. Mostly, he just wanted to crawl into my lap and cuddle. Heart melting.
• Matt and I ran 10K on Saturday, outdoors with the kids. Definitely my best pace to date, with 10 min miles (6 MPH). No idea where that came from … going to assume a good night's sleep and the hill work I've been doing on the treadmill.
• We are also officially registered for the Disneyland Half Marathon on Labor Day weekend. So psyched about this. AND I registered for the Title 9K on Mother's Day. Lotsa running to be done.
• Taxes are mostly done, thanks to my dad. Just a few charitable contributions to be detailed. Let's put it this way: we loaned a terrible credit risk (the gov't) way too much of our $$. Blech.
• Tabby, Ben and I went shopping on Saturday with my mom and we all (minus Ben) have lovely new shoes … mostly sandals. Yay! (and Thanks, Mom)
• My new laptop should be here today. I cannot wait.
Yay for new laptops and cuddly babies. Not so sure about the running.
Congrats on Ben walking. And all the upcoming races. Hope you will get to have some fun time at Disneyland too in addition to the race.
And woo hoo on new laptops.
I can't help but feel glad to here I also didn't get around to doing my taxes till April either. Hee hee.
I just finished buying a ton of kid shoes too. It's that time of year I guess! Turned out that none of them fit and/or are comfortable… so Jack is sticking to his crocs, and I am waiting for Abbie to grow into her pair of crocs. Thank heavens I live in the era of crocs, or my children would be barefoot 24/7.
Also, I expect to be on your calendar for Labor Day!!! We can meet you at Disney, or show you around another local site!
