Jim and I both had Friday off this week, which was really fun. I got up and ran Friday morning, which was my first long run of the season. It feels great to be back in my running shoes. So far, I don’t even mind the early alarm clock. Then the kids and I didContinue reading “Weekend”

In January, Jim took JT to see Monster Trucks at the Tacoma Dome with our friends Christian and Gracie. I just found these pictures when I was uploading the photos from the fishing derby from the other camera!

Then I came home and watched a movie with Jim, who was home sick from work. Friday Jim made his classic french toastContinue reading “Becky’s Birthday!”

Easter started with a trip to JT’s preschool Easter party on Thursday. We had such fun. I loved how they did the egg hunt: assigning each child a number so they had to find those specific eggs. It made it last longer and no one was hogging all the eggs. Then, of course, the bigContinue reading “Easter Weekend”
