point and shoot...

I finally broke down and bought a point and shoot camera. We've had several in the past but before Spencer was born I purchased a Cannon Digital Rebel SLR - a big camera with a couple of funky lenses and other bulky accessories. The pictures come out great (sometimes, I'm still quite the amateur) and I love playing with all the features but with two kids lugging that camera around - particularly on vacations - has become slightly annoying. So along came the Sony Cyber Shot last night. I charged it up and here is my first picture (Barkley is the only crazy one in the family that wakes up before 5am with me...I'm off to a crossfit gym workout).



My parents made it into Denver Saturday afternoon. They could not get over how much the kids changed since our last visit (the marathon, Oct 31). We just hung around with them and Jon and I got to sneak off and get a couples massage yesterday afternoon and then run a couple of fun errands (like getting the camera!).


Before mom and dad got in I got to run with my group Saturday morning. This week's run was a beautiful and hilly one - 14 miles that gained just under 1,000 feet of elevation. I felt strong and had a great time. I came home, showered, hung with the kids, folded some laundry and then headed to the airport. We went out to dinner that night (to Houston's, one of our new faves) and had sushi, a burger and a glass of wine, and then I fell asleep by 8:30!


Jon and I (and the new point and shoot) are off to Vail for a night while my parents hang with the kids. Happy Monday!
