Checking out the new scooter....

What's my password again?

So... apparently it has been a while since I last wrote since my computer had signed me out AND I forgot the password. Lots has happened in the past weeks.

Let's start w the obvious, Tanner! He is amazing. 2 1/2 weeks from being a 3 year old, he is by the far the brightest light in my life. There is NOTHING in the world like getting his special grin directed only to me! I love it and if I could stop that moment in time and frame it, I would.

I got home from a run this evening and noticed Tanner's bedroom light on. I asked Carl about this and he said, no Tanner's light isn't supposed to be on so we went to check. There sat our little man reading a book and eating graham crackers. You guessed it, he gave us his little grin and sat there silently daring us to put his book down. Well, Dad was a sucker and gave him 10 minutes to read and enjoy his little snack!

Ahh... I love the two boys in my life. Muah!

Carl is busy doing Carl stuff... meetings here and there, emails back and forth... but always having time for a breakfast with Tanner... (and according to Elias, this is common in people who live over the age of 90 and he's a doctor so I believe him!!!)

I am still running, and running, and running.... but it is for such an AMAZING reason. It is impossible to feel any negativity when you are surrounded by such amazing and wonderful people. I can definitely see myself doing this again. I am only $239 away from my goal!!! WHOO HOO!!! (If you wish to donate.. please go to the http://pages.teamintraining.org/mn/rnr10/kfossum)

Have you ever felt your place in society was lost? I feel that way sometimes and I am realizing that when I can make a difference I can find my way. I have an opportunity at work to volunteer at a battered womens and childrens shelter... so I am going to do it! Here goes nothing!

And now - my favorite new hobby - making a list of 1000 things that make me smile...

#97 - Popping bubble wrap!

Slainte! and Good Night!

Spring has sprung!!!

Well it's been a while since I've written. Life is busy! One thing Carl and I are trying so hard to do is to learn to slow down and make the little moments important!

Tanner started gymnastics last Saturday. He loved it! There were a few things he didn't want to do such as the frog jump and the bear crawl. When asked to do them, he replied "I don't want to" and crossed his arms over his chest. Ahhh... the life of a 3 year old.

The other day, during naptime, Carl went to check on him and he had taken his shirt off and taken the batteries out of the remote control. When asked what he was up to his reply was "nothing."

My training is going well, after tonight's run I will have put in 50 miles since the start of training! Thanks for all of the support!!!
