Just in case your wondering what the family room looks like when the Nanny isn't feeling 100%. Chloe tipped the stroller over and scattered many of the toys. Lilly has been taking her toys into the living room (aka ballet school and the grocery store) or playing on the stairs (aka work) a lot lately. I have been really enjoying watching her imagination grow.

Chloe isn't crawling yet but that doesn't mean she is stationary. She rolls and scoots all over the place. She loves to go under things and often needs to be rescued from corners she has backed herself into. I don't think she will crawl for long once she starts she is much more interested in getting to her knees and feet.

I was hoping for something exciting for post number one hundred. Unfortunately I have not felt well enough to do much clicking this week. Monday morning was spent in the ER. After seeing my medical history the doctor gave me some IV pain meds, did some blood work, a urinalysis and an x-ray. Once he was sure my pain was not life threatening he sent me home with a prescription and orders to call one of my doctors. Almost three days later my pain is much less but I still don't feel right.

Race Day

At the starting line.

At the half way point. He felt good enough to kiss me as he ran by.

Between mile 15 and 16.

Very wet, heavy shoes.

The finish line. Official time 4:36.25


When the race started it was overcast and 58 degrees.
By the finish of the race it was pouring and 52 degrees.

Saturday night Patrick and I went to Frederick, MD. We stayed there over night so that at 6:00 am Patrick could run a marathon. Yes, my crazy husband runs 26.2 miles for fun! We had a nice dinner and walked around downtown Frederick. It has grown considerably since our last visit.

Beautiful streets

Twins?

Our whole lives people have mistaken my sister and I for each other. If I hear someone call hi Mindy in a store I will smile and wave back. Sometimes a conversation will ensue and I will have to politely explain that I am not Mindy but her sister. I am sure Mindy has to do the same but she gets to say she is the younger sister. In school (esp high school) people thought we were twins. Teachers would call us by our last name, unsure of which sister they were speaking to. I think we look like sisters but twins? I don't see it. Kate took this photo.

Yesterday afternoon Christy stopped by my work after her twenty week Dr.'s appointment. She brought with her the latest sonogram pictures ( my grandbaby is too cute) and a bag of goodies for the baby to let me know if it was a boy or girl.

A hooded sweater/jerga like grandpa likes to wear. A Max t-shirt, from Grammy's favorite story, some chocolates (yes, I ate one) and bibs. Patrick was away so instead of tell him over the phone I met him at the airport with this HUGE balloon.
I found the highchair at my favorite consignment shop yesterday. I love a wooden highchair.

A few weeks ago while my sister and her family were away for the weekend a dove moved in. She made her nest in the flower box on a table on their back porch. She laid two eggs, one hatched.
