Surprise!

My dad turned 60 February 8th, so we celebrated a little late with a surprise '60s party at Highlands Hammock. Unfortunately, a cold front came through in the morning and froze us all. We built a campfire, but we could only stand the cold long enough to eat the BBQ and then took the party home to eat cake. Happy Birthday Dad!

Baby shower for Baby "Z"

All the girls at the baby shower for Amy. She's due in a few weeks and I can't wait to see what the baby is...I think it's a boy. I wish I would have taken more pictures, because the shower was beautiful and all my girls were there, but I had to get back to the hippie party!

Today we got together with our favorite playmates, Rylie, Brooker and Baxlee. The plan was to go to the childrens' museum but when we got there there was a field trip that beat us to it. So we took the party to Rylie and Baxlee's house to picnic and play. Thank you, Leslie, for hosting last minute. We had so much fun catching up with you guys and can't wait to see you again.

Healthy as a horse

The doctor says Lucy and Edy are growing up just as they should. Edy had her 18 month check up and Lucy her 2 1/2 physical.
LUCY: 37" tall (90th percentile) 30 lbs. (75th percentile)
EDY: 33" tall (90th percentile) 24 lbs. (50th percentile)
Edy grew five inches in just six months, wow! Looks like they're going to be towering over me before I know it!

lunch with Granny Great

My grandmother invited us over for lunch today to visit and show off the girls to all the oldy friends. She surprised the girls with coloring books and belated Valentine's cards and candy and spoiled them with chocolate pudding and whip cream! We had a good time hanging out with her.

5K

Spur of the moment, I decided to run a 5K with Bonny and her mom in Lake Placid. I had not been practicing and even had to borrow tennis shoes, so I was proud to finish with a time of 32:37. And I got to spend time with Bonny, Jared, Brooker and Martie so it was well worth it! Thanks for inspiring me to get in shape Bon! One of these days I'm going to try to beat you!

After:

3rd place in our age group, go Bonny!
