Colorado Trip

Kevin and I shared George and Eileen's campsite by setting up our tent. I managed to sleep two nights in the tent before being 5 1/2 months pregnant made that impossible. We moved a short distance away to a wonderful hotel in Pitkin. We enjoyed campfires and roasting marshmellows everynight as we watched the stars come out.

George took us on several beautiful drives all along mountain streams rushing with the winter snow melt.

Colorado

As Kevin and I drove out of Denver I began to recognize familiar scenery. Much to our delight we came upon Red Rocks. I had visited this place several times growing up in CO. They have added a museum and gift shop underneath the seats.

Movin' on up... to the 3rd grade

I was thrilled when Amy asked me to move to 3rd grade... then reality sunk in. I packed all of my stuff up and then began the tedious process of finding new homes for everything in a room with 50% less storage areas. Added to that was my turtle like movements from having a preggo belly. Thankfully I had all summer to tackle each box. Here you see my new room with everything just about out of a box, just not placed in its new home yet.

New addition to the (car) family

Kevin arrived home from the auction in Tampa and quickly began playing with the siren and lights that came with this car. In it's previous life it was a batallion chief's car for a fire department. Slowly but surely it is being transformed into the official baby transportation vehicle. I am very thankful for its amazing air conditioning system.

Gail & Chris' Wedding

Gail and Chris were married on June 15th in Clearwater. Here I am with Gail and our good friend Sarah. It was great to be reunited with my two good friends.

Myrtle Beach Half-Marathon

When I signed up for this race with Karen, I had no idea I would be 8 weeks pregnant when it came around. Luckily I was able to continue my training and only have the usual aches and pains related to walking 13.1 miles.

Karen and I finished the race in about 2 1/2 hours. The race officials had run out of half-marathon medals so we got full marathon medals instead.

This happened in February, but I just found these pictures!

Myrtle Beach Half-Marathon!

Karen stands by the countdown clock at the race expo. The expo was full of goodies that every runner needs, especially sticker!
