We have been running since we had our kids - in every way! Life is like a marathon - full of uphills and downhills, water stops, taking the time to stretch, beautiful views, fast sprints, slow walks, and yes, sore muscles. But we are thankful for all of it because when we reach the finish line at the end of each day we know that it was all worth it!

My Lucie turned FIVE!!!



















My little Lou Lou Bird turned five a few weeks ago and of course we had to have the "Pet Shop/Salon" party that she has been talking about and planning for an entire year...  She invited her four best friends and her sister Marlie and we headed off to Cameo College Salon for manicures, hairdos and of course, makeup.  The girls had a blast and then we went back for Pet Shop cake and icecream, not to mention lots of presents to open.  It turned into a great day!  
We also celebrated with family the next day and had breakfast:  cinnamon rolls and a hot chocolate bar, not to mention the limbo, the feather game (can you keep your feather in the air??), and Uncle Rob singing Jack Johnson on his guitar.  
On her actual birthday we went to the Mayan Restaurant with the Dayton's and the Easton's.  The food was great (really) and the diving show was just the perfect diversion (no pun intended) for all of the kids.  Her birthday was a fun-filled three whole days (wish I could stretch my own birthday out that long!)
