Blink of an eye...

Seriously??? How has it gone from March to mid-May in the blink of an eye??? Here is the 30 second update to show you some of what has caused that blink....


We have been eating some ice cream...

Spending the weekend in Monterey for me to run in the Big Sur Marathon Relay with some friends and for us all to enjoy that beautiful town.

On your mark, get set.... Emma and Patrick have been running track this spring and here they are at a meet in Roseville in April.

Patrick is on the far left as if the floppy blonde hair didn't give that away...

Some of us have been discovering a love and/or obsession with all things Star Wars and Darth Vader....

During the kids 3 week long spring break we took a quick overnight trip to San Francisco and spent the day at the Exploratorium, touring Alcatraz and flying a kite in some serious wind!


The Jacobs kids, the Bigelow kids and the Odone kids in Utah where we had a little reunion. It was a memorable visit! So much fun to see our friends

The Odone and Bigelow kids all loaded up for the big road trip! My friend Melissa and I drove with the 6 kids to Utah for a week during spring break. It was a bit insane but so, so, so much fun.

In March I took a quick weekend trip to Portland where I met up with my high school friend Angela who lives outside Chicago. We spent the weekend laughing, visiting old friends, meeting new babies and catching up.

Here we are with Kelli and her daughters Vanessa (4) and new twin girls Annika and Ava or Ava and Annika - not sure which :)

We pulled the kids out of school for a week and went skiing up at Tahoe in March. It was their first time skiing and my first time in over 12 years - Jim can finally breathe easier knowing that at least 2 of his kids are now able to ski....
Thats it for now but more soon. hopefully.
