Bike Ride

Today Brooke got to open a birthday gift a little early, her new bike seat.  We tried it out early to make sure it fit, and then took it for a spin around the neighborhood per gifters request – – Thanks Oma and Opa.  After Brooke’s tears during the ‘helmeting’ phase (of excitement I assure you), she really seemed to enjoy herself while riding.  Later on while we were inside we happened to catch Brooke in the act of sitting herself up, what we had known she had done this morning, now we got to see it.

Today we went on a hike as a family to First Landing State Park.  Brooke was a trooper and did well being carried by Mom and Dad.  It was a nice time together on a beautiful day.

Garden Girls

One of the perks of living in Virginia is the lush climate. Almost everything grows here. This year Brooke is helping me plant our garden. This afternoon she helped me plan it out then we took a trip for supplies.

Today was a cold, cloudy, and windy St Patrick’s Day.  It was also Laura’s half marathon.  She and her fellow moms from Mom’s Gotta Run running group ran together in matching “Kiss Me, I’m a Mom” shirts.  Laura did a fantastic job and set a personal record for herself at a time of 2 hours, 5 minutes and 14 seconds.  Way to go Laura!  AJ and Brooke were cheering for her at the finish line.  Afterwards we all spent some time chatting and drinking beer in the after race tent.
