What week is this?

Summer is flying by and I have lost track of what has gone on. The latest news is that Mr. broke his collar bone doing his ATV racing. He is such a daredevil. He is going to the specialist today to see what needs to be done. It is interesting helping him get dressed and things. I couldn't get him to take a day off of work.

I ran a 1ok and finished below my goal time. I think I could go faster, so I am considering the half marathon again. My official time was 56:11. I felt so good running. I guess actually training for a race helps.

Mimi is getting glasses. She is near-sighted. She looks so cute in them. We have to wait a week or two for them to come. She is excited. Swim lessons are going great. She is tearing through the Little House on the Prairie books. She has to read 60 pages if she wants to play on the computer.

Lulu is now doing her poops on the potty. She is wearing panties during the day and a diaper at night. I just don't want to wash sheets everyday. Everytime she goes #2 she yells, "I'm going to Disneyland!" We just might have to do that. Lulu is really strong. She can throw things far and fast. Yesterday, she threw the remote and hit Mimi in the eye. It was so sad. Lulu doesn't know her own strength and she can't aim. Mim has a little bruise, but not a black eye.

We were driving in the car and I was whistling. Lulu didn't like it and yelled, "No fwoo-fwoo." Obviously, I am not a good whistler.

My sister, Em, had a baby boy on Sunday night. They named him Adam Lawrence. He is cute. His hair is dark and thick and a couple inches long. She went to the hospital at 6 and had the baby at 6:48. She is amazing. I got to snuggle with him that evening. My first time doing that with any of her babies. It was neat.

  1. Nice job on the 10K! You are inspiring me to get in shape after this baby, although I doubt I'll ever get to half-marathon shape. Way to go! I'd heard about Mr's mishap. Crazy guy! Hopefully a broken collar bone will slow him down... at least for a little while. I imagine that it's pretty difficult to wakeboard with an injury. Can't wait to see pictures of Mimi in her new glasses! I'm sure she'll look really pretty and really smart, both good things. And last but not least, yay Lulu! I hope you do get to go to Disneyland, I think that mastering #2 is vacation worthy! :)

  2. Ouch! I've had a lot of friends that have broken their collar bone. Doesn't look pleasant.

    Dang woman! 10K! I'm so envious. Great job on your time.

    Good to hear your girls are doing so great. Except for that whole getting hit in the eye with a remote thing. That's kind of a bummer.

    Hooray for babies to snuggle with!
