A Backyard When I Get Bigger?

Andrea ran her first half marathon with several of her girlfriends in Charlottesville, Virginia. It was a beautiful course in the foothills of the Shenandoah Mountains--not to embarase her, but she rocked it!

A few of us families rented a little house so the kids could all play together. It had a nice little back yard where the kids could run around and race each other. The Wednesday after we got home, Mackay and Andrea were reading books when he said, "Hey Mommy! Maybe when I get bigger and bigger, we can have a back yard." I think it's safe to say that he enjoyed himself. It's also safe to say that we are starting to grow out of our little two-bedroom condo...as much as we love this place!

Beckett's First Bike Ride

I took Beckett on his first bike ride with Mackay. We rode down the trail by our house to a nearby marina where we could watch the airplane take off and land. Beckett did great on the way out, but it wasn't as much fun coming back...nonetheless, not bad for his first time and being cramped together with his bigger brother.


Mackay looks at least a little excited. Beckett on the other hand...stares of trepidation?
