A Thousand Words Thursday

I couldn't help but laugh when Lorelai struck this pose for the camera. It reminds me of an old Barbara Streisand record cover...or Queen Nefertiti...What caption would you give it?

This is why every other parent in the universe has special plastic plates for their kids. Why did I give her that plate to eat on? WHY???

We're pretty sure Lorelai can't see her own feet with that big belly in the way.

A Thousand Words Thursday

This photo was taken on the last day of our "babymoon". It still just doesn't seem that long ago EVEN THOUGH in 3 months I will be celebrating Lorelai's 2nd Birthday. Part of me wouldn't mind a "surprise"...but another part of me says "absolutely not". Ahh...the constant battle that is life.

Sneaking in one last pina colada before the taxi took us back to the airport. I surely was not ready to leave.

A Thousand Words Thursday

Sometimes, being ahead of schedule is particularly exhilarating. Notice that I'm ahead of schedule with Hal Higdon's plan...do you know how geeked I get when I get to whip out my Sharpie marker and write that I've gone a quarter of a mile over the plan???
I started running a couple weeks ago. I've often stated that "my body isn't made for running", but my New Year's resolution was to get back in shape. I began by walking on the treadmill...but I got to the point where I was walking so fast I thought I'd see what would happen if I tried running again. My goal was to be able to run a mile before my birthday (Feb. 19th)...but as you can see, I've doubled my goal and I still have about a week to go before my birthday! I'm also contemplating participating in a 5K on St. Patty's Day.
I think in the past I have done "too much too soon" with running. I ended up dreading the days I had to run and eventually gave up and went back to walking. This time, I really wanted to fall in love with running. By taking it slowly I've really grown to look forward to the days I run.
It really is true...slow and steady wins the race :)
And you know what else? I haven't lost a single pound! But, I DON'T CARE! I feel so fabulous and that is enough for me to keep up with my plan. Even my husband said that I seem more confident in general. Gotta love "runner's high".
I just thought I'd share this with you all...just incase some of you momma's out there had a New Year's resolution that you've been struggling with. Just remember that it's worth it...and if you have to make changes slowly, that's always better than not trying at all!

Thank you, Ladies and a Gentleman!

I have to write a short blurb about this because it cracks me up:
For "Wordless Wednesday" this week, I posted a pic of my daughter and I...7 of you commented on it.
For "A Thousand Words Thursday" I posted a pic of my husband and my daughter...15 of you left comments.
I guess the votes are in...you want to see more of my swash-buckling hubby on here?

This one is a family classic...Lorelai's first ride on our sail boat. Tim has always been so proud of this picture. I believe he used the word "perfect".
