We're back at school this week.  Teacher workdays start tomorrow with meetings at 8am.  On Saturday, Husband and I went up to Chico with my colleague and Liam.  She and I went to a BBQ at my new principal's house.  Husband and Baby went to visit with some friends of ours that have a boy a year older than Liam.  Funny thing, the BBQ was about as ( Read more... )

We took the Yamster in to his 12 month check-up at the doctor's office yesterday.  Wow, can't believe how much this child of mine has grown (but of course, that's what he's supposed to do, right?)!  He weighted in at 24lbs 2oz.  That was the 75th percentile and almost right on target for an average baby (as they really think babies should only ( Read more... )

 My baby is now 1 year old.  Wow! Tomorrow is his appointment with the doctor (which is also the 1 year anniversary since his first visit wit hthe doctor).  I remember being all shakey, holding my sweet newborn and trying to keep him from crying because I didn't want anyone to think me a bad mother.  Little did I realize then, all babies cry ( Read more... )

This generally my favorite walk to take w/ Hubster and Liam.  Granted, we're not doing much in the way of working out or getting up our heartrate, but it's nice to actually get outta the house.  It's just a gentle stroll with the two guys through some of the delightful parts of our neighborhood.  It's been a little hot out; even going at 7-7:30 has ( Read more... )

Here we go again.  Got up again this morning and ran.  Got a bit further today too (about 1/4 mile total).  Also linked my mapmyrun account to my Twitter and my Facebook.
bleargh!
Funny, Hubster didn't even know I had gotten up for a run yesterday morning.

I got up this morning and I ran as far as I could go, which was very very short.  I panicked out of self-consciousness and ended up running down the alley behind our house.  Kinda sad.  Did get on the weight machine as soon as I got back.  Put it on Lvl 3 rather than 2.  Harder = fewer reps.  Don't think I stretched enough this morning.

Whatever ( Read more... )

Alrighty.  Getting ready to leave for AVID SI this morning.  How wonderful that I can go to such a motivating and inspiring teaching conference in my own hometown.  Thank God my district cut the check for me to go.  I'm sad I'll be the only one at the SI this year (this means I have to officially be the one to cover all the site team paperwork - ( Read more... )

Wow my baby has gotten rather grabby.  My grandma let me have some beer that she won in a golf tournament.  It's a Glaswegian beer, Tennents.  So tonight I'm trying to enjoy one and Liam is just all about the grab.  Hubster was able to get off a couple cute shots before I officially removed it from his reach.

Lily sat in the crook of my arm for nearly an hour.  She had the funniest shit-eating grin on her face the whole time.  Usually she sits on my belly or lays across my forearms as I'm trying to use the laptop.  She does not do that to Hubster.
