The Race

We are looking good in this picture because we just finished running the Broadneck 5K! My very first race ever and it was so fun to be able to do it in MD with Dacy. We were slow, but we never walked AND we finished with lots of people still behind us. I'm glad I can say I ran my first race BEFORE I turned 30!
So, for those of you who are wondering, "Is this really my friend Erika?" let me assure you that it is me. Hubby and I started this running program back in May (see it here) and I actually enjoy running now! NEVER EVER THOUGHT I WOULD SAY THAT. Hey, if I can do it--ya'll can too! :)

Dancing King

We went down to the docks in Annapolis tonight and ate dinner down by the water. There was a little jazz band playing and G Money LOVED the music. He made friends with the lion and they did a little number together.

We're in MD!

We left early this morning to see our friends in Maryland! It is so good to be here and G Money is SO happy to be back with his "duh." (They call eachother that and have done so since they learned to talk.) Tonight the ICE CREAM TRUCK came to the neighborhood and G Money had his very first experience...oh the joy! It really made his night when the lady let him get inside the truck. He thought he was BIG stuff.

New Trucks

Pastor Roberts brought us some "new" trucks for our boys. His boy was done with them so they passed them on to us. G Money LOVES playing in the dirt with them. We've got a great little set up in the backyard with lots of sand and even some shade--perfect for little boys.

some time away...

Some of you know that I surprised Hubby with an early Birthday trip and took him away last week! S watched the kiddos and we had 2 whole nights away. (First time in 2 1/2 years!!) We stayed at a friend's cabin (thank you Trustys) and spent our full day hiking and visiting Breck. What a fun time--we need more of this. Hopefully it won't be another 2 1/2 years before the next one. 

More balloons...

 

Labor Day

We woke up early this morning and headed out to see the balloons--what a great labor day weekend tradition here! The weather was perfect, and the boys LOVED it. Heavy D was a little sleepy, but he made up for it with a very long morning nap. Beautiful, beautiful!
