'Rella & Daddy


This afternoon, Levi wanted me to read Cinderella to him. When we got to the first page that showed Prince Charming, Levi shouted out "Daddy"! He's thinks that it's Matt's picture in the book and now he flips through it saying "Rella and Daddy".

I always knew I married a prince!

Gettin' Jiggy With It!

Yesterday was Matt's first race of 2008 - The Irish Jig 5K!

The 3-M racing team (brothers: Mike, Matt & Marc) added a new member this year - Mike's wife Sonny who ran her first race ever. Marc's wife Lori, Levi and I maintained our roles as cheerleaders at the start and finish lines!

The race was at 9 AM and when we got out of the van at
8 AM I think it was about 32 degrees outside. There were over 1500 runners in Matt's race. As you can see in the second picture, he decided to hang out toward the back of the pack at the starting line - he thought it would be less depressing than being passed by a lot of runners! He finished the race still standing (goal #1) and with an official time of 28:05 (close to his goal of 9 minute miles).


All bundled up to watch Daddy race!

Seriously, Matt - the race started 3 minutes ago!
Maybe you should pick up the pace and take your hands out of your pockets?? Oh, yeah - that's right, there are 1500 people ahead of you!!

The Finish line is in sight!

Way to go, Daddy - I'm so proud of you!
(And thanks for sharing your banana with me!)

Call Me Garfield


Tomorrow morning is Matt's first race of 2008.

Levi and I will be cheering (and shivering) from the sidelines.

If there's a donut shop on the way to the race, I just might be eating a donut with my coffee while cheering.

Maybe one of these days Matt's resolve to run will rub off on me...or then again, maybe not!

Joy Ride

Levi likes to sing.

He sings along with his Bob-Larry CDs in the van. He sings when Mommy plays the piano. He sings with Mommy at bedtime. He sings his own made-up songs at other random times throughout the day. He's developing quite the falsetto - but that's another story!

Levi's favorite song right now is the Joy-Joy song - he sings it like this:

"I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy - jump in the car!"
