On Saturday we went to my Aunt Susan's house for Easter! We had so much fun! Easter is so much fun when you have little ones in the family this year we had 2 new little ones.
Meet Ellie! She is Jeff's new golden retriever! Last weekend, we went to meet her! Nick loves her....and he loves acting like a dog now. He even wants to be in a kennel!!! It's a good thing we already have 2 wonderful dogs or I think Nick would want to take her home!!!
Since my sister was on spring break this week we decided to call up Cynthia and Ethan to see if they wanted to meet us at the zoo! Here are my favorite pics of the day!
After all that rain last week we decided it was time to get out and enjoy the sunshine! Man was it hot! Nicholas really worked up a sweat helping with the yard work, pretending to wash my car, playing with his ball and then playing with Payton and Hank! I never would have thought that I would be putting sunscreen on him in MARCH! We had to go in after awhile and play inside! Such a fun day! Not like the one before! Thank GOD for days like this!
I have been training with a friend from Andover Family Medicine for the St Patty's Day 5k since January. Unlike the Greater Andover Days Fun Run I ran in last year, a 2 mile run. This one I actually got ready for and made a goal for myself. I wanted to finish it in 37 minutes. I finished it in 36 minutes! Woo Hoo!
When I crossed that finish line I wanted to burst out into tears! This was the first personal accomplishment I have ever set out to do and then to also beat my goal was great feeling! A very emotional experience. I am planning on doing another 5k in May! I want to finish it in 35 minutes!
Katie and I took the kids to see Auntie Alison a couple of weeks ago! Auntie Alison loves her niece and nephew! We spent the next day shopping at IKEA and an outlet mall! WE WERE EXHAUSTED by the time we got back to Ali's. I haven't taken a roadtrip in such a long time. Well, not with someone who shares my same taste in music! We were jammin all the way there! Nicholas better get used to us girls!
