Sarah Videos

Sarah was recently attacked by the "Tickle Monster". We have some footage of the carnage. This video may shock you!

Believe it or not, she did recover from that attack. Just in time to decide what to wear for the day. (You'll see in the video that she is standing now, she can pull herself up and even walks a little with some help)

A Sick Boy's Best Friend

Tom is a little under the weather today. At least he has his new best friend to keep him company on the couch.

Late Night

This past Saturday our friends the Spurlings (Mary Ann, Brian and Jackson) came over for dinner. Jackson and Thomas had a fun night and both boys were up way past their bed times. Here is a video showing some of the stuff they did. The video catches some of the tamer moments (not eating their dinner, terrorizing the new cat, playing drums on our A/C unit) throughout the night. In 14 years, if your house is covered in TP or eggs, you may want to find out if these two were hanging out with each other.

New Addition

Welcome our newest "family" member.....Joey Votto (we just call him Votto). By the way, Tom's favorite Red's player is Joey Votto, I don't think the cat's name is a coincidence.

The Next Steve Irwin???

That gator didn't know what hit him! :)

Mission Accomplished

I set a goal early this year to run 2 marathons within the same month. Well, as of Sunday at 10:45 am, that goal has been accomplished. I did the St. Louis Marathon on April 11th in the blazing hot sun. Then finished the Flying Pig Marathon on Sunday in a torrential downpour.

Now I am going to take some time off from running and enjoy my Saturday mornings again. I may try to squeeze in one more marathon this Fall (maybe Portland?), but we'll see how motivated I am to run in the 90 degree heat of Summer.

Thanks to everyone who helped me accomplish my goal, especially Emily. It's hard to train for and run a marathon. It's even harder to support someone who does it. She gets to deal with the complaining and scheduling issues, waking up with and watching two kids every Saturday morning for 16 weeks, trying to follow me during the actual races and then dealing with the aftermath of those races. All I do is go and run. Emily is a saint for doing this the past 5-7 years.
