Be a Part of Something Big!

Be a part of something big!

Run Baby Run

The post title actually sounds great...almost as if I've been consistent with my running. That, however, is not the case. This weather, among other things, has me down! For those of you NOT in Nebraska, it snowed earlier this week and has just been plain COLD!  This weekend is suppose to be better.  Thank Goodness!  We could all use a lil sunshine!


Here are some pictures from the runs I did over the past month!

 

Totally Rad 80's 5K

(which ended up not being a full 5K, race organizer FAIL)

It was LOADS of fun though!

 

Leprechaun Chase 10K  Woo Hoo

(Hilly of road course... it was good in the ouch kind of way)

 

Then and Now...

This was THEN: Prom, May 1997.

and this is NOW :)

Life is Grand

Repeatedly, my shortcomings as a blogger are addressed here.  Alas, I have come to the conclusion that Life is Grand and we are one busy family, so this blog is a bit of an afterthought these days! 

SO many good things are happening.  I am switching roles at work, there is still a lot of uncertainty, as with all grant-funded, non-profit jobs, but I have never been so FULFILLED!  I am confident things will work out.  (I am crossing my fingers that my position will be full-time in the fall)

The kids are GROWING like weeds!  Baby is almost 18 months and will be transitioning from the Infant House to the Montessori Toddler House during the first week of May.
He fell asleep on his Papa's lap and just looked so big and un-babylike to me!

 

 

On the other hand, C has grown a good 3 inches in the past couple of months alone.  I am glad warmer weather is coming, because she is rockin' high waters (thank goodness for Uggz)!  We toured her middle school this month; she is VERY excited!  (In Omaha, middle school is grades 7 & 8 only)

 

 

We've been spending every day (above 45 degrees) in the yard, Nebraska weather is notoriously indecisive!  The tree house took a beating last summer after a couple of storms, but is well on it's way to a renovation!  Here are the girls hanging out!

Rod's been woodworking a lot lately, which I ADORE....we roped off the garden.  He will build the garden enclosures next weekend, to keep those cute but PESKY rabbits out of the garden this year!

More pictures to come!
