dangdang 1/14

confused and irritable today. On steriods and swollen, which makes it worse. it is cool and raining here. I would build a fire but I used up all my kindling filling the house with smoke and we haven't gotten all the smell out yet. "No new fires until we have recovered from the last one." BB

Emily's Sunday Run

For my first post, I'd like to let everyone know that I survived the half-marathon and will live to run another day (although I wasn't sure at mile 11...). It was VERY cold this morning; temp at race start was 29! For the first 2 miles I couldn't feel my feet at all. But by mile 3 I was relatively warm and I spotted our friends, Jon and Mikeal and their 2 little boys, cheering on the sidelines. Then I had to hunker down until mile 9, where Josh, Benjamin and Mara were waiting to encourage me along. At mile 10 I tried my first 'goo' (yuck!), hoping it would give me an energy boost, but to no avail. So I slogged through the last three miles, never so happy to see the finish line: water, food, emergency blankets and my family! Hopefully next year I will find a running partner again (Ruthie, I've got my eye on you!)

New Family Blog

I'm about to make this blog private (requiring log-in), so if you're interested in continuing to view it, email me. I'll probably send an email to those who I know view it occasionally, so don't worry about it if you know I know you view it. Ha! Make sense? The reason for the change is that Matthew's brothers and families are planning to start blogging with me (yay!), and due to professional privacy, we thought it'd be smart. . .

Sophie's 2nd Bday Party

I'm still up, so the posting continues. . .

Snowflake PBJs and an Igloo Icecream Cake for a January Snow Princess

Sophie, what creative and hard working parents you have! Many you grow up striving to be like them as they strive to be like Christ. Amen.

TWO, a day.

We're missing Cody and Keri around here, so in an attempt at consolation, I'm posting pictures of Sophie's birthday party. They're having their first annual Epiphany party tonight, so party pictures are even more appropriate!
