this morning

My dear friend Michelle Virtue and I ran (I actually walked) my first 5k this morning. It was wonderful. I had a lot of fun and had a nice walk. My only goal was not to finish last and I didn't, I even was 10 minutes faster than I had hoped. The Running With Angles 5k was held at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi, Utah in their flower garden. Michelle is fabulous, she is training for a 1/2 marathon in just a few weeks, I wouldn't have done it without her. We might even do another in 2 weeks! Who would have ever thought that I'd do one 5k in my lifetime? Watch out...I'm out of control.

the whole family

Leah's uncle and aunties- she is one lucky girl!

baby shower success

We had a baby shower for Leah on Saturday. It was perfect. The weather was beautiful for our morning shower. The colors were pink and orange, the guests wore those colors, we had a delicious brunch, we passed around Leah and took a picture of everyone holding her. Then everyone wrote a little note to Leah that we are putting in a scrapbook for her. Leah slept through the whole thing...she now has even more cute clothes and fun things. Watch out she one stylish little baby. It was fun to have friends and family together for a girl party (one of my most favorite things in the world).

meeting the princess

I flew home to see our new baby. She is great and we love her very much. She likes us too. The first thing I said when I saw her was "now, let's go try all her clothes on her." Believe me she has lots of clothes so we would still be there playing dress up. She sleeps a lot during the day and is on a crazy night schedule, she is a sweetie. We are going to have fun with her in our family. She already fits in so well. It is a good thing we got a girl baby!!!
