It’s been a roller-coaster couple of weeks. As many of you know what has been going on, I’m not going to go into details on the blog, but what I will say is that I’m glad Jeff is back in town because summer activities have hit with a vengeance.
Elijah moved from baseball camp last week to soccer camp this week. We had a fortunate break in the weather, which made for a better week all around for running, baseball, and other athletic endeavors. However, the temperatures are creeping back up into the 80’s, so I think we’re at the end of our respite!
The Steamboat Classic, a venerable and popular running event in this area, is Saturday. Jeff and Charlotte will be participating in the four-mile run, and I will be doing the 15K. I’m crossing my fingers that the 7:00 a.m. start time will still find temperatures holding in the lower 70’s, which would be very atypical for this particular race. But one can always hope!
My dad is planning to come down to watch Jeremy and Elijah, along with the race, which will be very nice. I had a good five-mile run yesterday, my best outing in a couple of weeks, so I’m hoping that translates to a decent run on Saturday. After that, I think that I am going to jump into marathon training. Woo-hoo!
The summer is certainly speeding by, which is pretty usual. Athletic camps, work travel, vacation, the kids’ trip to Tennessee, church camp…sometimes I wonder when and why I relinquished control of our schedule! My greatest blessing is that Jeremy is a pretty adaptable baby and doesn’t seem to suffer too much from our life on the go. Today, he’s even managed two naps…in his crib! Again, woo-hoo!
Speaking of Jeremy, he certainly does keep me hopping. Just yesterday, he managed to pull a plastic mug of water off the dining room table, to pour it all over himself and the floor while attempting to drink it, and then to slip in the puddle he made and fall down! Boy, was he howling by the time that little bit of slapstick got done. And, then, while I was fixing supper last night, he pulled a measuring cup full of dry rice off the counter, waved it around, and then looked absolutely terrified of what he had managed to do.
I’m not sure when he got tall enough to pull things off the counter, but, man, I can’t turn my back on him!
Here are a few pictures of our little troublemaker.
And I’ll end with a few pictures of our baseball player. This is Elijah’s very first season to play, and he’s really enjoying it. He got to pitch in the last game, which he found a bit overwhelming, but he did pretty well.
I hope that things are well wherever you are. Have a good one!
