A Big Week

Last week was a big week for everyone. David and I ran SEVEN miles on a day so cold that the water in my water bottle froze as I ran. It took awhile for the feeling to return to the skin that had been exposed. It's so funny that we look forward to the long run more than any other day in our training week. Thanks to all of you who have sent words of encouragement, we really do appreciate it!!!

Addie got her first hair cut. I didn't have my camera with me to capture the moment, but she looks much better without her baby-mullet. She also went to the bathroom on the big girl toilet--#1 & #2! No pictures of that either (it's bad enough that I posted the info!)

Jackson has been playing solo in his room this week after I finally got around to hanging all those airplanes from his ceiling. Hanging ten of them wore me out because Jackson was so particular about the height and angle of each airplane. He enjoys identifying all the airplanes with the many airplane encyclopedias he owns. We had a few gorgeous days this week. The kids spent some much needed time playing outside. Addie insisted on the tutu and told her brother that she was a "ballerine."

The haircut. She was not in a posing mood.
