Sheesh!

It’s been awhile, huh?  We’ve been busy as usual.  With the last few weeks of school, Randy has been drained physically and emotionally.  And as usual, he decided to overextend himself to run the BolderBoulder 10K today.  So, last night we packed our bags (again!) and made the 100 mile trek up I-25 (again!), checked into our fourth Marriott over the past 12 weeks and Randy ran the race this morning with 54,000 of his closest friends (including Dr. Oz!).  Being that it’s only 6-ish miles, he was done in an hour and we were on our way again.  Oh yeah, and today is my birthday so we did a little shopping to celebrate my journey into a new decade.  Enough about us! 

Here’s Halley in her latest cute-ness. 

(In case you can’t tell what she’s wearing, this is HJ one morning when I went to get her.  She went to sleep wearing a nightgown.  Somehow she managed to get her arms out of the sleeves and wiggle almost completely out of her gown.  It’s around her waist.  )

  I can not stand it when Chico licks HJ but I guess it’s inevitable. 

They are starting to be buddies…as long as she doesn’t pull his tail. 

One thing about cloth diapers…they give you a big booty!

On a completely random note, I finished a project today that I have been working on for…..six…..long…..years.  Growing up, everyone in my family had matching Christmas stockings that my grandmother made.  When Randy proposed to me, I decided I wanted to have the same thing for our family.  I worked diligently for six months to make a stocking for Randy in time for Christmas.  I finished it on time and then started working on my own for the following year.  Welllllll, let’s just say I didn’t quite meet my goal for Christmas ‘05.  BUT!  I finished it.  Tonight.  After six years, it’s done!  (To clarify, it’s not really done-done…I will be delivering it to my mom to actually sew the stocking part on to my cross-stitching but my part is done.)  Don’t stare too closely because neither of them are perfect!  And I have decided that, if it takes me 6 years to finish one without children, I will never find the time to make one for all of them!  I’ll just have to find something else for them that is far less-detailed and time-consuming. 

 

 

In two weeks, we head to Savannah for Randy’s family reunion and to see some of mine too.  I also start back to work full-time for June and Randy is on daddy-duty.  That’s the latest in our world.  Have a great week!
