Fearground

Throw her in the air and she laughs hysterically.

Put her on a couch or a bed and she dangles over the side just for the thrill.

Hold her and she throws her self backwards and upside down.

But put her in a swing...

and she holds on to the blue rubber seat for dear life. white-knuckling it the entire time.

Put her at the top of a harmless t-tiny slide (no, we weren't going to make her go down by herself)...

and her screams of fear echo through the tunnel of death.


We thought that she was going to be a dare devil, but I think we might have been wrong.

Front yard photo shoot

The weather on Friday evening was nice, so I grabbed Carly, a quilt, some toys and the camera and we set up on the lawn while we waited for Daddy to get home with the pizza (the fat-free kind, of course).

Sara walked down and made Carly smile.

The Papparazzi Mom strikes again!

Carly, who is your best friend?

She is!

Happy 30th Birthday (last Thursday) to my good friend, Kristi.

How many half marathons do you have to run...

How many half marathons do you have to run before you can put a 13.1 sticker on your car?

I say one.

The next question is...how long until it expires?

More to come on my half marathon (13.1 miles in 2 hours, 4 minutes and 8 seconds!) after I recover.
