The torch is passed

I got out my Breyer horses Saturday and we got the barns from Joe and LuLu's house. ME was thrilled! I played with these for hours on end when I was little and it is great to see my girl enjoy them just as much!

Fan of the month

I know this is an old photo, but I couldn't resist submitting it. Lands' End seemed to like it too! I also got a $100 gift card! We are huge fans of their swimsuits. They are all ME and I wear. Mike even has one now.

Race day

Okay I may have lost my mind, but I've started running and I think I like it! I ran my first 5K on July 9th and finished in 32:46 minutes. Mike ran too and he did really well finishing in 28:30. Scottie ran, but she didn't seem to enjoy iy too much! Mary Elizabeth and LuLu came to cheer us on and take pictures. Next race is August 6th, so I hope I'll improve my time just a bit.

Summertime

Thanks to my friend Crystal for bringing her kids to play this morning and taking these cute photos of my girl.

Beach trip 2011

We had a fabulous beach trip this year. LuLu, ME, Molly and I went down on Sunday and

so it was "girls only" for the first few days. Mike and my dad came down late Wed. LuLu and Joe got their own place and stayed until Sat, then we left Sun. We spent 5 full days at the beach and ME was so much fun! We played in the sand, splashed in the ocean and went for walks on the beach. We also enjoyed the village, riding on the carousel, playing on the playground and driving the remote control boats. Thursday was LuLu's birthday and Joe took us all out for a special dinner. LuLu played a lot of tennis and I got to run 4 mornings. It was the first time that Molly had gone to the beach with us. She is 13 now and hasn't done well lately if I have been gone overnight. I also would have worried about her if she had stayed at home. She has been such a good dog and I know every day is special now, so I couldn't leave her! Surprisingly she did very well on our trip. A week is the only way to go, so I'm going to start saving my pennies for next year's trip!
