a new adventure everyday
Done, done, done! This trip has been so much fun. I’ve always wanted to run this race but never did. Then I heard that this year was it’s last, I decided to go for it.
I’ll come back later and finish this post. I’m on the plane right now. I just want to go home and see my family. I miss them so much.
Eric was able to capture this special moment between big brother and little sister. I couldn’t have done a better job.
They are going to hate us when they get to be teenagers. 😛
Mia took three steps today. She has been taking a half a step for the past few weeks but never a full step until tonight. THREE.WHOLE.STEPS. So excited for her but another challenge for us. 😆 We were trying to get her to do it again but she got wise and would just drop on her tush and crawl. She is so close to walking. I have a feeling she may be walking by her birthday. 😯
Another teeth update: Her upper front tooth (the right one) finally cut thru her gum. I thought that day wasn’t going to get here soon enough. And I think there will be more coming because I feel her right one and you can see the whites for the other ones too. She may be getting all four upper teeth coming at once. Poor baby.
I am hoping once all those teeth cut thru, she will sleep better at night. We’ll see.*crossing fingers*
TODAY!!! Woohoo! My annual list of things that happened to me while I was 34.
That is about it. Hopefully I will have a great year. My biggest birthday wish is that Mia would finally sleep thru the night. Let see how long it will be until my wish comes true. 😆
[Gosh, it has been a while. I really need to get up and start blogging. Bad me! 🙂 ]
Update: I had to switch our hotel reservation around since I thought other folks were coming with us but they decided they couldn’t but it still worked out for the best. (Did that make sense? Probably not.)
We are staying at the Port Orleans French Quarter. I was told that on race day, Disney opens a “path” from this hotel to Epcot so all the runners staying there can simply walk there. Very cool. I know a few people from work that are going and I will be tagging along. Well, at least to the starting line because they are hard core runners.
Another cool update: I added an extra day to our vacation and it turned out that the price went down $3.25. An even better reason to stay another day!
Well, that is it. I am still trying make time to run. I need to run 7 miles today. Someone is going out of town this week so running is out the window until Saturday. Wheeee!
[Yes, I am back dating these posts. Sue me! ;)]
Diego has officially started Pre-K!!! So excited!!! I bought him his book bag the minute I found out he was accepted into his school. So we went to Target and let him pick out his lunch bag. He doesn’t need any school supplies because they will be providing all of that.
Here are some pictures of his first day of school:
Waiting for Mama and Papa
Going into the building:
Looking for his classroom:
Found the classroom:
He has a locker but it has no door. His teacher, Mrs. Brown, is very nice and Diego seems to like her. We took a family picture a few days prior to the first day of school which Mrs. Brown printed and laminated. He has the picture in his locker so whenever he misses us he can take it out and see us.
I hope he enjoys school. I think he will.
Gosh, she’s already 6 months old (and almost two weeks).
Her stats:
Weight 16lb 3 oz (60%)
Height 27 in (90%) 😯
Head 16 3/4 in (50%)
She got two shots and an oral. She did fantastic. No crying until the very end and I think because she couldn’t move since the nurse was holding her down.
She can now sit unassisted. She can push up on her arms. She really doesn’t roll over yet. In fact, she just rolled from tummy to back last night. And I think it was just a fluke. lol I am so not in a hurry for her to be mobile so it is on her terms when she wants to hit those milestones. And as you know, she is eating cereals (rice and oatmeal), fruits (bananas, applesauce, peaches) and veggies (carrots, sweet potatoes, green beans).
Otherwise, she is doing what she needs to do and so are we. Next appointment: 3 months (Aug 22).
Well, it came and went. The weather was great. It was a wee bit too warm but it was better than last year: which was cold and windy.
My goal was to run it in 42 minutes. Well, the good news is that I ran it in 38:18 minutes. The bad news it was slower than ’07 (35:52). At least it is over and I did it. The family was waiting for me at mile 3 so that was a nice surprise.
Afterwards, there was pizza, drinks and cookies. That was really nice of the company to provide. Hopefully next year, I’ll do better. Cheers!
Just so I don’t have to be looking for these next year:
2002 52:44

2007 35:52
2008 41:21
This morning on the way to day care, Diego was telling me the things he needs: Go Diego Go shoes, Go Diego Go shorts, Go Diego Go shirt, Go Diego Go backpack, Go Diego Go etc. He was like “Got that Mama?” And I said yes, I am writing it down on my list, which I wasn’t but I was taking mental notes. He asked where the list was. And I answered “It’s in my head”. Which to he responed “Did you eat it?” 😛 Eric and I just about peed our pants laughing. Love that kid!
We had noticed for some time now that every time one of us would eat, Mia would just stare at us. So we decided to give Mia some solids today. Some rice cereal with breast milk. OMG! It seemed that Mia was just waiting for this day to happen. She was able to eat about half of the cereal. The other half ended up on her face and bib. 😆
I can’t believe she is ready for this. 😯
