On the run...

After 8 months of pretty much just talking about the little guy and all of his accomplishments, one of the grown ups in the house actually has something to report -- Over the weekend I completed my first half marathon! Our friend Chris was nice enough to be willing to slow down long enough to run it with me and we finished in just under 2 hours. It was a great experience and Will and Todd were there to cheer me on -- and what a cheering section they were! :)

Here are my faithful boys up early and waiting to see us run by!



Chris and I in all our post race glory...



Will is really much more interested in my medal than he is in his mama!



I'm sure the next post will be back to the same old baby news...:)

A white Christmas

I think Will's first Christmas was a good one! He had a great time and charmed everyone he was around the whole week. After spending time with Todd's family before Christmas we packed up and went to Nebraska and he was a great little traveler again. It was COLD when we got there, but it was great because Will's first Christmas was a white one!

Opening presents is fun!



Dad, can you explain this to me?



And of course we couldn't miss the chance for a photo op in the snow...



Overall, it has been a great Christmas season. We are so blessed to have so many wonderful friends and family that we have had the chance to celebrate with during the holidays. There is no doubt that the little guy has a few fans...:)
