Big(ger) Boy Bike

Giving his new ride a spin

Because he had definitely outgrown this

Special Night

It's hard to see in the picture, but Carter and dada had a special night of Star Wars (Empire) and hot dogs in the living room. We shared a plate of hot dogs and a plate of tater tots (with dips of course), and special drinks. Bubbly water for Carter and Bourbon & Coke for dada, both with limes!!! A fun way to miss mama.

More T-Ball Pics

Here are a few more pictures from t-ball. I had to miss most of this game because of work (yes, on a Saturday), so I was glad to get these pics from friends (and parents of a teammate).

(and hello from Seattle, btw...)

Long time no blog

Wondering why you haven't seen me in the blog-o-sphere lately? That's because, in the last 7 weeks I've been here:

Tampa
Memphis
Pittsburgh
Los Angeles
NYC
Fayetteville
Oakland

With visits to Atlanta in between each city.

And this week, I'm headed to Seattle.

I hope to be back to normal - and back to blogging - soon.

Athletica

Just a quick catch up post on all my recent major athletic endevors. First, back in the beginning of June was the major milestone of my first triathlon, aptly named the My First Triathlon at Lake Lanier just north of Atlanta. Matthew and I had been training for several months, at least around work and kids and life, and I was super-pumped for the big race. I left the house at 4:30am to meet Matthew and head up north. The race was great, the experience was great, and I think I might even do another one. I didn't drown, didn't crash, didn't pass out OR need an ambulance, and actually beat my goal time by 12 minutes! Congrats to Matthew and Jeff for their amazing races as well. In case anyone was wondering about the specifics, here they are:

Swim-.25 miles: 12:55

Transition 1: 2:12

Bike-12 miles: 44:49

Transition 2: 1:59

Run-3.1 miles: 31:48

Total: 1:33:41

My transition set-up pre-race

Finished! Thanks Matthew and Jeff for all the support! Thanks Kirsten for the picture and the cheering!

Next up was the Atlanta tradition Peachtree Road Race 10k. The largest 10k in the world, me and 55,000 others ran down Peachtree Street for 6.2 miles. It was my first time and I was glad to get a space in the lottery and to have a space sort of near the front (Group C out of groups through X). It was hot, but well organized and lots of fun. Give I hadn't done much running (or any exercise at all since the triathlon), I was quite pleased to finish in 58:56! In case you (like Rob) were wondering, that a 9:30 mile pace.

Yup, hot.

Woo-hoo! Fake finish line photo! Actual finish line another .2 miles away!

More fun with Friends

And more pics here!

Kimbro Visit!

You haven't heard much from us lately on account of my completely insane work and work-related-travel schedule, but I've vowed to take the whole weekend off because...

The Kimbros are visiting!

The kids took no time at all to get reacquainted. We stayed close to home yesterday, and the kids had a great time, as you can see.

(first ever Star Wars viewing for Carter!)
