Running...Reading...Rearing...

OK... so I have been really busy with the following three but I wanted to try and get you more updates.

Running... In exactly 10 days my SIL(sister in law) will be here for our now annual ING Atlanta 1/2 Marathon. This year I have done a much better job with training for it... Have logged in over 150 miles (compared to last years maybe 60 miles thank you twins:) on my shoes and feel that I am ready for this race. We are hoping to finish in under 2 hours no pressure though. But either way we are planning on having a great girls weekend. By the way I am shipping all the kids off to their aunts house the night before the race so I can be well rested for the race in the early AM Sunday morning. GO TEAM TULOO!

Reading... I have been on a recent reading frenzy...and have read some fabulous books. Including: The truth about love ( fabulous historical fiction taking place during the Irish and German war) Bel Ami; an old classic. My sister gave me the Meg Cabot books Queen of Babble ( three in the series, easy reads not sure I will read any more of hers) Sitting on my bedside table waiting for me to break the binding I have: A room with a view, The Noticer (can't wait to read this), The reliable wife, Beat the Reaper.

Rearing...My kids are crazy... yes you heard me right crazy. The twins have some how figured out how to climb out of their cribs I think Jack helped show them how to do it.. thank you very much!

We have had some nice weather although it has been raining for the last 48 hours... but I have been trying to spend as much time as possible outside with the kids and let me tell you MY LITTLE OLIVE is wild... she is so agile it is freaky. She jumped off ( yes jumped!) from the top of some bricks, 5 high and landed on both feet, smiled and went about her business.

Here is some video from the week...

Long Time...

3:00 pm I know, I know it has been a really long time... Mommy life seems to be taking total control... that and training for a half marathon ( 22 miles run already this week) and swim league season is also starting so I have been really busy.
3:05 O runs into an open door.. mommy to the rescue..A big hug, a few kisses and an icepack and I send her on her way.
3:10 I'm back.. I have done a terrible job staying in touch.. will try to post more pictures of the kids because they are growing up so fast...
3:12 Screaming kids... K has stolen a book from J and O is just screaming at the excitement of the chase between the other two as they run wildly around the house.
3:20 Back again.. and this is why I never have a chance to actually sit down a update this page...

JT got me the greatest Christmas gift this year.. Well besides the coffee maker because I drink enough coffee to kill a rhino...speaking of coffee.. be back...

3:23 So where was I... oh yes JT got me this Flip camera.. It is small enough to fit in one of my million pockets... because as you all know I hate purses. The camera can film up to 2 hours and then I literally flip a button and there is a usb plug that I just insert into my computer and zip bam boo... I have video... So here for your enjoyment is the twins dancing in the kitchen. Hope you like and I will try and post some more :)
