April/May 2014

Looks like my attempt to write a monthly blog/update has failed! Things have been so busy lately I just haven't had the time! Plus the fact that time is flying by doesn't help! I can't believe next weekend is Memorial Day!!! Summer is here! I feel like it was just winter!!! So much going on here with us and the kids! 

Starting in April we celebrated Julia's 1st Birthday! Se is getting so big!! The kids had a blast playing at the park and with all their cousins!


We celebrated Easter here and the kids had lots of fun on all their Easter Egg Hunts!

The kids were off the week after Easter and I took some time off too! We had so much fun going to the park and playing all day!!! 






They LOVE their bikes! Ellie has even started to ride all by herself! It's amazing!!


We celebrated some birthdays and even a bridal & baby shower! Between April & May we have all had so much going on!


I ran Broad Street, and even though I didn't feel completely ready (due to this horrible winter and it being so cold!!), I actually did really well. I finished with a time of 1:20, keeping me at 8:00 minute miles, which was my goal! Brad finished his first broad street, and from the sounds of it, it will be the first of many!!


My girlfriend Lauren kicked my butt (and quite frankly everyone's butt) - she killed it at 1:14- hopefully she will allow me to continue to train with her so that one day I can be that fast!! I have a lot of upcoming runs I signed up for Scott coffee 8k, Riverton 4th of July 5k, Philly 10k, St. Charles 5k and the AC 10k- I am tired after writing all that!!

We celebrated Charlie's 3rd birthday last weekend! He is getting so big!! All of the kids are! 


We also had the greatest Mother's Day last weekend! My sisters and I, along with our mom, went to Renault Winery. We had a fabulous tour, great lunch, and plenty of wine! It just might be the start of a tradition- Mother's Day at the winery every year!


We have been spending a lot of time outside with the kids! They love it! 


Hopefully it won't take so long to post again!
