Back to blogging

Computer troubles + a few really busy weeks = no blogging time for me.

But I'm back. And we've had a lot going on I needed to post about.

Father's Day

We went hiking with some friends at this nearby, gorgeous park. Luke hiked over 3 miles with barely any complaining. Evie enjoyed the ride plus was oh-so-proud of herself as she got her own Twizzler. Both kids hitched a ride with Daddy (aka our pack mule) for awhile. It was beautiful weather and a beautiful day.

Graduation

We had our residency graduation on Thursday night. It felt a little anti-climactic as I still have 2 months to go (remember when maternity leave sounded like a great idea?). It was a great evening. I love the people I have worked with for the past 3 years. I was grateful that my parents were able to come. It's hard to believe I'm almost at the end of this long, long road. And I have really enjoyed it.

1/2 Marathon

I ran a local, small 1/2 marathon on Saturday (if you look really hard you can see me way in the back). My best time ever - 2:00 and 8 seconds. So close to my goal time of under 2 hours (though I bet I was right on 2 hours as I started a little ways back at the beginning). And I WON my age group. Granted, there were probably 8 women in my age group (there were only 50 people running it). But it was a nice course and a beautiful day. And I was pretty darn proud of myself.

Finally - Evie can walk! Her first steps were for our day care provider and I about 2 weeks ago. She gave up on it for a few days but can now get around pretty well. Yay! And Luke learned to "golf" (we took every body mini golfing). He had a great time. And Evie figured out she can stick an entire golf ball in her mouth.
