* Spencer turned three. We had a party at our house where the Fun Bus came...a gutted out school bus with gymnastics equipment, mats, etc. It was great. On a Sunday morning the kids got entertained by someone else and the adults had coffee, mimosas and bagels on our patio. It was super fun to watch Spencer with his school and neighborhood buddies. We shared the party with our neighbors and good friends (and Spencer's classmate)...Kaia also turned three and a few days prior Andrea and Sander had a baby. It was fun to join efforts. In the pictures below Kaia and Spencer are eating cupcakes together.
* Shoshana turned eight months and started crawling. She's absolutely adorable! She follows her brother (who usually is quite sweet with her) and is into everything. She's way more mellow than her brother at this age (or any age, for that matter).
* I am one more 40-mile running week away from tapering (translation: running less) for the Marine Corps Marathon. We ran a crazy hilly 20-miler last Saturday (it gained around1,400 feet of elevation) and have one more next Saturday (this is a recovery week so I "only" have a 12-miler that I'm taking off for in a few minutes). It has been a total blast training for the run. I meet up with a large group early Saturday mornings for the long run and on Tuesday morning (even earlier) a smaller group does speedwork. Tuesday and Saturday runs are with a coach (which is fun and very new for me). As the runs get longer during the week our start time (even for the other runs which I usually do with a couple of girlfriends) are crazy early...like setting my alarm for 4:30. Yikes. But it's great and by the end of this month I'll be a marathoner again. And we're so excited to head out to DC and meet up with my parents, cousins Steve, Julie and baby Harrison and hopefully a few of our friends.
* Jon is totally loving the kids and the stages they are at. He's off later today with Spencer for a train ride through the mountains while I take Shoshi to a baby shower. We finally had our first date night in a long time at one of our fave sushi joints. Last night we had a really fun evening at the club where our kids go to daycare...they had this huge party everywhere in the building including the beautiful roof deck with bands, a jumpy castle for the kiddos, etc. So much fun for all of us (except when Spencer got spooked out by the lady on stilts and the mardi-gras themed greeter at the door!).
* We have had a fun visit from Jon's parents Lewie and Linda who finally met Shoshana.
Enough chatting...here are a few pics before I'm off for a run.
