1/2 Marathon

You may recall the title of my post about Jenny running her first marathon was Amazed and Inspired.  Well quite literally I meant I was inspired to run.  A few weeks after Grant was born I started picking up my running schedule and decided that I would run the Cook Forest half-marathon (13.1 miles).  The day finally came and I ran it yesterday.  I finished in 2:04 (9:31 minutes/mile) which is by no means fast but I was pretty happy with it.  Here is a pic Lara took of me at the halfway point.  I was feeling pretty good here....that feeling soon faded!

Jenny also ran and was crazy fast.  She finished in 1:30 (6:53 min/mile) and won her age group!!!  Great Job Jen.  That is amazing, REALLY AMAZING!

Thank you to everyone that came out to support us.  It was so much fun I may have to do it again sometime soon.

In other news we've been having lots of fun on our weekends.  We had a great time celebrating Ella's birthday a few weekends ago.

...and the following weekend my Dad came for a visit.  Here are 3 generations of Laws.  Grant didn't seem to be thrilled to pose for a picture.  :)

Other than that, we have been spending as much time as possible lovin' on the little guy.

Although I have to say, he seems to be lovin' a lot on Mommy these days.

Beautiful Day for a Hike

Today the temp was 65 (believe it or not) and so we decided to head out for a family hike.

Everything is still brown but it was beautiful nonetheless.

Luna jumped out of the car and hit the ground running (as always)

Grant enjoyed his ride in the Snugli and managed to stay awake for the whole hike.

I am glad that we made it outside today because the forecast for the next few days....
near 100% chance of rain.

Did Somebody Say Birthday!?

Sofia and Luke both celebrated their first birthday this weekend.  Sofi's birthday party was on Saturday and Luke's was on Sunday.  As you can see below, both were dressed appropriately for their parties (Luke's was circus themed).

Both Enjoyed their Cake...

And Opening Their Presents.

And Everyone Enjoyed the Parties!  

Although some spent a little more time sleeping than partying.

Happy Birthday 1 Year Olds!!!  We had a great time and were so glad that we could take part in your special day.

Before we made the trip home we took some time to enjoy a walk in the beautiful sunny weather.

And as we were heading back home, we were all HAPPY

and EXHAUSTED!

I LOVE MY BOYS!!!

Shots baaad, Bath goood!!!

Last month Grant got his first set of shots.  Jeff and I thought he handled it pretty well.  A little tylenol and a good night sleep did him well.  I could tell his legs were a little sore but who could blame him.

 

Our boy just loves his bath time!!
