perfect day for a run

Sorry, no pictures, but Clare and I went for a run today. I was having a hard time keeping up with training runs during the week. I splurged on myself and got a running stroller. Can I tell you how wonderful it is?!?!?!? we went out for half an hour today and she absolutely loves it! She has toys at her disposal but tends to just enjoy the sights and sounds as we go cruising around stallis! She absolutely loves being outside and it keeps me in shape. Win win here!

You know that feeling that you sometimes get on Sundays when you realize that you are going back to work tomorrow? I am starting to get the summer sundays. Don't get me wrong. I love being at school but nothing compares to spending my days with my second love. I am wishing that these days of being home with her could go on a bit longer.

I think it will be good to get back to school though. In the meantime, I am enjoying every last minute with my little angel.

Way to go!




Mainly, I just want to give a big atta boy to Prince Fielder on his homerun derby win tonight! It really was a thing of beauty.

Well, Clare is eating rice cereal and sweet potatoes. I think she is going to turn into an ogre pretty soon with as much as she is eating. Today I spent most of her time awake feeding her! I don't know where she puts it. I take that back. I do know where she puts it. I change her diapers! She is still a cutie though, don't you think?

I Want To Rock And Roll All Night (and party every day)



I think this is Clare's new motto! She wanted to party all day every day this weekend. She had no interest is sleeping which makes things, hmmm, interesting! Not only does she want to party every day, she enjoys rocking and rolling and singing all night! She is a true rockstar and from the looks of this photo...
she will, one day, rock out on an air guitar, at which point she will truely be
living the dream.

update!

So the Brewers pulled out another one last night. I particularly enjoyed Ryan Braun's score on an outfield hit and an error! It reminded me of Kendall's last week!

Keeping up with things around here have been a bit challenging lately as Angel Clare has had an upset stomach. She returns about 1/4 of what she eats and is not interested in doing much other than walk around the house with me. I was bringing a receiving blanket to use for returned food cleanup but I have moved on to a fullsize bath towel!

She is eating rice cereal regularly now and she is super cute. We are going to try to feed her rice cereal once a day for two weeks straight before introducing anything else but she is a really skilled eater! I think she takes after me!

A couple weeks ago we had a lot of rain and we got some water in our basement again. This prompted me to do a thorough cleaning and to get rid of some things that were just sitting around. For example, we had been meaning to re-sell the centerpieces that we used at our wedding reception! I put them on Craigslist and old them in an hour! We have had much luck with Craigslist. I sold the Beetle in a day and now this! We got some shelves and now have just about everything up off the floor which will make cleanup easy next time we get water.

I have been keeping up with running (kind of). I am typically missing one run a week which I think is pretty good considering I can not run until 7:00 on most nights.

We replaced the stolen grill and have locked it to the house (which I think is kind of funny). I got the window replaced in the car but I don't know if/when the dash/radio will be fixed (don't want to tempt anyone).

I don't think I put this up yet, but we got Clare a 'swimming pool'. It is about 36 inches in diameter so it is tiny. They sell swimming diapers but we could not find any in Clare's small size. We tried regular disposables. Let's just say that her diaper swelled up to be the fattest little thing ever and it didn't last long. It was a blast to see her kicking and splashing with her mom.

Now who's
living the dream!
