Hey, Noah.....what does the fish say???

Hunter Man can sit up

Week 1 of Memphis Women Walk Run

I signed up for the Memphis Women's Run Walk training program at Shelby Farms.  We will train to run/walk in a 5K in September.  We will go weekly on Monday evenings for 10 weeks. 

I have been drinking water all day today (I know, can you believe it) and boy does water make you need to tinkle.  I got to Shelby Farms early and the Lord was shining down on me I guess because it was cloudy, breezy and 85 degrees.....not the 98 degrees it had been just a few days prior.  Anyway, I started out at the back of the pack (did I mention that there are hundreds of women running).  We ran 1 minute and walked 2 minutes for a total of 25 minutes.  There are many, many coaches throughout the pack and they were a real encouragement.  I did manage to stay caught up with the rest of the pack, although I had to walk probably more than run, but it will come.  It is not about "racing" it is about setting a goal and accomplishing it. 

Did I mention that when I pulled in to the parking lot, that I pulled in right behind the ambulance.  I thought oh my goodness, please dear Lord, don't let me have to see the inside of that thing.

We had a great vacation at Orange Beach, Alabama with Pawpaw Lanier and Grand Marilyn for Father's Day.

Our favorite place to vacation - the BEACH

Help, I am being chased by a bear!!

This is how I have always felt, but then a friend of mine ran in the Gibson Guitar 5k and gave me the courage to try.  I am attempting the Couch to 5K program.  It's not that I want to be a super model, although it would be nice, but I really want to get strong and build up my stamina.  I want to go to Labor & Delivery down 2 flights of stairs without needing the oxygen mask.  I want to come up 1 flight of stairs from the Cafe Bacteria without being embarrassed because I am breathing so heavily.  This is my goal!

Happy Valentine's Day

the older we get, the more we look like Barbara and Jimmie (my momma and his daddy)

The First-born Grandchild - Noah & Mimi

For those wondering why Hunter is not in this picture, he had just managed to spit up and poop all over his clothes.

Austin as SNL's Church Lady

Every parent's proudest moment is when their 17 year old SON comes and asks for money because he has a run in his panty hose.

Hunter is getting to be such a big boy

He is getting so big. Weighs 14 pounds. I am sure he will pass up Noah soon. Noah loves his "Bubba"

Noah had ear surgery

Noah has been having a hard time with ear infections and with babies, their fever goes really high and they get so sick. So after 4 different antibiotics, even 3 antibiotic shots and 3 trips to the E.R., they recommended having tubes put in his ears.

He got a pair of sock monkeys from the Bunny Room at LeBonheur. He loved playing in the toy room in pre-op holding. He was so cute in his little hospital gown with his "back yard hanging out".

In recovery, they asked if he wanted an ICEE. I thought it was one of those cheap popsicles in the plastic sleeve, but no............LeBonheur has ICEE machines....The kind like they had at 7-11 stores.

He did well, you could not even tell that he had been sick.

Footloose just makes me want to dance!

Honk Honk!
