Catch up

I feel like I don't have any time to blog lately so I am going to play catch up today. First off my work has completely downsized and now we are in the middle of moving to a smaller office suite so work has been totally crazy. Then Christian's mom has started working the day shift so she can't get back from LA in time to pick him up for school so I am now picking him up everyday. It is nice that we get to spend more time with him but not having the two afternoons to do things has really been difficult. Ryan has decided that he is to big for baby food so it has been an adjustment trying to figure out which foods he will eat. Which has made dinner time more of a challenge for me. Also, my sister in law challenged me to run in a 5k with her in July. She ran a marathon in January and when we went to Texas she was so excited about it and gave me training materials so that I can get back in to shape and run with her when she comes in July. Thank goodness my amazing friend Rachel said that she would train with me otherwise I don't think I would have had the motivation to finish out the week. Rachel pushed me when I needed to be pushed and help me not to quick when I only had a little further to run. It has really been nice to get out and have sometime to talk and exercise. Then on Thursday night I had a girls night out, I had good food, good company and a funny movie. It was exactly what I needed. Lastly we took Christian and his friend Sydney ice skating yesterday. We have probably taken Christian skating 15 to 20 times and this was Sydney's first time. She was a natural and only held the wall for like a minute and then she was off. I think she only fell 2 or 3 times while Christian fell 2 or 3 times each time around the rink. So there you have it. I will try and do better next week and separate every event so that my posts or not so long.

This is what happens every afternoon when all the neighborhood kids come over to play. It becomes dress up time. Christian is the one with the mask.

I love the pics of the ice skating. And I can't believe how good she was skating. I am loving training with you. It gives me some away time too. Once we conquer the 5k we can master the 10k.

If you ever need a jogging partner I am here too. I ran a 5K last December, and surprised myself with how I did. I haven't been running lately, but I always love running because it clears my mind. Keep up the good work.
