Weekend Pics

We were in town this weekend (finally!) after many weekends in a row traveling. So Scott, Gage, Bogie and I celebrated our non-travel Saturday with french pancakes and coffee followed by a hike in Auburn's Ecology Forest Preserve. We had so much fun .. especially Gage who loves his backpack!

Music City Marathon Weekend

I was only prepared to run about half of the half marathon but ended up running the whole half-marathon in Nashville yesterday- if that makes sense. I had to stop running for a month or so before the race due to a knee injury. And my sister Lacey had heart surgery recently so we decided to walk/jog it together. But to our surprise we were caught up in the excitement of the cheering spectators, live music, and threatening storm clouds looming nearby that we ran the whole race (with a couple of stretch breaks for me and walk breaks for Lacey's heart!) It was a PACKED weekend visiting family and friends in town. Both Scott's family and my family drove/flew in for the race. It was so much fun and we can't wait for the next race!

Welcome to the Family, James!!!

Lish and Hudson came for a quick visit yesterday and left a few minutes ago. It was so fun having them here! I wish everyone could have a friend like Lish ... I treasure every little bit I get to spend with her! We shopped for her baby GIRL (due in August) and Hudson and Gage had a great time together. Hudson kept telling Gage to say words instead of spitting and squealing. He also didn't understand why Gage couldn't figure out the barnyard puzzle. :) They'll have even more fun when Gage is a little older! Gotta go get ready for my sister's wedding weekend! I'll post more pictures from the big event in a few days.

Too Sweet for Words ...

Eight Months and Four Years

This week Gage turned 8 months old and Scott and I celebrated our four-year anniversary ... in the car. We drove to Little Rock, Arkansas for my sister Mary's wedding shower. Scott and Mary's fiance, James took off for the farm while the girls (and Gage) did wedding stuff. I took a ton of pictures from the weekend on Mary's camera so I don't have many on mine to post. There are lots of good ones that I took while she was having her bridal portraits made. But since I'm not allowed to share any of those (yet) I'll post these instead. The first is of Gage and me taking a cuddle break and the other is of the boys having TOO much fun on the farm! :)
