This morning after I think I said ‘No’ to Elizabeth about a thousand times, I decided we needed to get out of the house. My patience and hers were both on short fuses with each other this morning. It is funny how much we are alike and run on the same type of pattern. However, [...]

Boy or Girl?
Yesterday I got the privilege to witness my good friend tell her twins whether the new baby they were getting was going to be a boy or girl. They are two and a half so after about ten seconds of looking at the pictures, unamused, they were up and playing again… too funny.

Finally, a summer day.
Well, I actually started running again today. I know I said this a while ago, but I mean it this time! LOL. I should say, I’ll try harder this time. Today I went to Lake Calhoun to run. I love running around this lake because it is full of people exercising and enjoying the outside. [...]

They are going to be building a house overlooking the meadow. The land includes rolling meadow, trees, a future pond, and tons of raspberry bushes sure to keep my [...]

Saturday was Erik’s family reunion. I think Elizabeth was totally overwhelmed by the amount of people and kids running around everywhere because she was completely clung to me pretty much the entire time. Unfortunately Erik’s family did not get to see the fun and crazy side of her we see every day. She did however [...]
