Feeling accomplished!

Yesterday was the Chik-Fil-A 10k in Parkersburg. I was no where near ready last year. Wasn't so sure this year because this is a hilly course. But, we did it! It was sunny & hot but the humidity wasn't too bad. Mile 2 was the hardest for me personally but after mile 3 I started feeling pretty good. I was glad to not have to do any walking. This was a great boost to my confidence - I am starting to believe that I can do the half marathon!

My rhododendren

I love this bush. It was here when we bought the house and needed some nursing back to health. It is just starting to bloom. Here are some pics of it from years past:

Sam loved those hideous blue crocs! She wore them everywhere and with everything. I was so glad when she outgrew them!

Cam was always a good sport. He would always stop & pose for my endless photo taking.

Happy Mother's Day

Another bittersweet holiday in my world. Love spending it with my girl. Miss my boy and my mom.

For the 2nd year in a row, a good friend & I paarticipated in the RCR Mother's Day 5k. It was a beautiful day. A little hot and humid, but sunny and bright.


My approach to the finish line:

My monkey played in a tree while I was running!

She recently heard the Willow song "Whip my Hair" and has been doing her best impersonation:

Can it really be May???

This week, this month, this year have really flown by! Hard to believe that it is already May 1st!

Now that my new lap-top is up & running well, I uploaded Easter pictures from my camera.

Here is Samantha in her zebra print Easter dress in front of Grandma's bell collection.

Trying to look sweet:

Not much else going on to report this week.
