Running and Pictures

David had his second cross country meet yesterday.  It was amazingly hot and very muggy out.  So much that they shortened all the races to keep kids from overheating.  The middle school race got shortened down to about 1.2 miles.  David did pretty well as he is used to training in the heat.  He would complain about going out for a run with Aaron on the really hot days of summer, but Aaron would always tell him that it would help make him tougher than other kids.  And it paid off.  He was the second boy on his team this race and had a decent time despite the heat.  Picture quality here isn't the best.  It was so sunny and bright out that I couldn't see my display to see if I actually had David in the picture.  Here are two that are okay.

Abby got ahold of the camera after the race and took a bunch of random pictures.  This one of Aaron towering over her amuses me because I forget how everyone must look so tall to her when she's so little.
And here is a 27 week picture of me.  Didn't realize how badly I need to clean off my bathroom mirror.  Guess I'll be doing that shortly.
Pregnancy wise, I'm doing okay.  Feeling quite huge and awkward already.  I'm quite self-concious of my very large outie belly button if I'm not wearing a shirt that holds it in as it's the first place your eye is drawn to when it's sticking out in all its glory. I'm happy to be in the last trimester finally! I can officially say less than three months until I see this "little" one.  I was just thinking last week on my birthday about how when Abby was born that I was delighted to be done with having kids by the ripe old age of 27.  Never thought I'd be having another kid at 34!  Oh well, I'm excited for the joy she will bring to our family and it's worth the delay of the empty nest.

    Yeah for David. Remember when your sister got taken to the emergency room because of the CC heat? When they have an several ambulances parked at the CC meet...you know it is too hot. Your tummy looks so cute. I don't think you look too big considering how far along you are. Looking forward to the little one too.

    Way to go David!

    You are all belly. I love it! Hi, little girl!

    I forget, too, how strange things must look from kids' perspectives. That was a cool shot Abby took!

A Tribute To My Mom

I am undertaking a three week challenge as a way of support for my dear mother.  I would include a picture here of her if I could, but she would not appreciate that (though I do have permission to write this post) Years ago, as a wee little lass, she had the misfortune of contracting polio.  While she was able to regain normal function and led a very normal life for most of her years, polio has reared its ugly head once more in her life, this time in the form of post-polio syndrome.  Click here for a link to just what post-polio is.  For those of you who prefer a one sentence summary of PPS, it's mainly a continual weakening of the muscles that were affected when polio was first contracted - it can range from mild to quite debilitating.  My mom has been struggling with full blown PPS for a couple of years now.  There is really no cure at all, few medicines to help, just learning to listen to your body in what it now has decided that it can no longer do and trying to keep your activ

Abby's New Look

Image
We've had a busy last week or so.  Here's some big news in Abby's life.  She lost her two front teeth. They came out about four days apart.  She truly lost the second tooth and wasn't able to put it under her pillow for the tooth fairy.  The tooth fairy apparently isn't as vigiliant about leaving money when there is no actual tooth to collect.  But after a few days, our tooth fairy remembered and finally slipped some money under Abby's pillow along with an extra quarter for having to wait so long for her to decide to show up.  At the same time, David had a tooth under his pillow for about three weeks waiting for the tooth fairy.  The tooth fairy finally had to visit during the day when he wasn't in his room, when she finally remembered to pick up the tooth.  It's hard on the tooth fairy to show up when David stays up later than the tooth fairy does these days.  Here's Abby's new look: She's also delighted with the fact that she doesn't ha
