Happiness is...

...the freedom from kids (if only for a little while).

San Diego Zoo

I am back. My computer had to be sent away to be fixed again. But now it is back and brand new. Hopefully never to break again. Jourdan is sick. Poor little boy. He is a tough little nugget so he should be better soon. I also almost broke my finger the other day. It has been hard to type. The x-ray says it's not broken but man does it hurt like a broken bone. How did I do this? Eaan and I were Kung Fu fighting. Things got dicey for awhile but I won. Anyway, now on to the post. I am so far behind but I am really going to try and catch up this week. Try. Hard.

My cousin Kit came to visit a little while back. She stayed for a week and we had a blast. Of course one day was spent at the San Diego Zoo.

Love these two pictures that Kit took. Jourdan and the monkey were having a conversation. I wonder what they were talking about.

You will notice that Kit isn't in any of the pictures. She likes to take pictures like me so it's hard to get her in a lot of pictures. Plus Jourdan is usually the center of attention. We had a great time at the zoo and there are plenty more pictures to come from the rest of the week. And Kit is in some of them...and so am I! Amazing! We miss you so much Kit.

Bay Bridge Run/Walk 2009

Bay Bridge Run Walk

Bay Bridge Run Walk

Last month Eaan, Jourdan, Layla and I participated in the Bay Bridge Run/Walk. It's a 4 mile run/walk that goes over the Coronado Bay Bridge. It starts in downtown San Diego and ends on Coronado. There were 8,000 people running that day. That's a lot of people. Unfortunately it was cloudy. I was hoping to get great pictures on top of the bridge. I still was able to take great pictures of Jourdan and Eaan.

The starting line.

Here we go!

These signs are all over the bridge.

Up the bridge we go!

I ran all the way up the bridge pushing the stroller with Jourdan and Layla in it.

At the top of the bridge Jourdan got out and wanted to run too. So did Puppy.

That little boy can run.

You can't see puppy. But don't worry, he is there, running the bridge with Jourdan.

Bay Bridge Run Walk

Obviously I didn't dress him for a run. I didn't think he would want to run.

Bay Bridge Run Walk

Here we are at mile three. Jourdan had been running for half of a mile already.

Second wind!

Bay Bridge Run Walk

I can't believe we just ran over that!

Bay Bridge Run Walk

The finish line! We completed the run in an hour and sixteen minutes! Not bad. Jourdan ran the last mile and a half by himself. He was pretty darn proud of himself. I was pretty darn proud of him too.

Bay Bridge Run Walk

Happy as a clam.

Time for a drink!
