Tidbits

We're doing really well, just busy busy busy.

*Anna Kate is a very efficient crawler, pulling up on everything & has her 2 bottom teeth. I love this stage! She loves to eat, babbles "mamamama" & smiles often.

*Hudson continues to ride his bike everywhere. He rode over a mile recently and would've happily kept going, but it was time to go inside. We've let him ride in the house and he insists on riding to his room, to the potty, to the kitchen table, etc... He loves playing ball (of any kind) more and continues to be drawn to music.

*Naples has 2 seasons- "in season" and "not in season". Season runs from Jan - April and the population doubles during this time. So, we are currently in the middle of our first season in Naples. It's busy- lots of traffic, lines in grocery stores and the church population also doubles. There are lots of extra events offered in the city and at church during this time as well. The weather really is beautiful though, so we see why people flock to southern Florida. Although the summer brings heat, it will also bring a down time.

*I'm planning to run my 2nd marathon next weekend with my sister, Erica. It's been 5 years and 2 babies since my 1st. I'm hoping for an improved time, but honestly my sister and I have not consulted or followed a training plan at all. We've both just been running and each did a couple "long runs" (~20 miles) and decided to try a marathon. We'll see how it goes...

Hopefully some pics and more updates soon...

I like reading your tidbits. You're going to do fine on the marathon. Your body's made to run! Wish I could come and see the kiddos and you all during this time of waiting for our baby to arrive. I have 40 days off before the baby and 40 (plus summer) days after the baby! Yey!

Just read this. Love how it's been "5 years and 2 kids" since your last marathon. Thinking of that in terms of my upcoming marathon, I realize my line would be "5 years and an extra 20 pounds" since my last. Haha!... Sad! ;)
