Enjoying our kids

Life has been so busy, but definitely good! I can actually say that after 11 weeks things are going great.  We are all on a routine and Anderson has been so much better.  He's been saying the funniest things and is trying to help with his baby sister.  She loves to watch him! 

Here's a couple snippets of conversations with him lately:

Me: "Are you excited to go to the aquarium to see sharks?" Anderson: "Sharks have sharp teeth.  Bite, ouch!"

After I had an accident with our garage (I'm not going to discuss further)  Anderson:  "Oh no, crash.  Garage broke.  Daddy fix." 

When we were driving one day and he saw the mountains, Anderson said, "Snow mountains, want to hike." 

He's also been pretending that there's a bear after him (from the book Going on a Bear Hunt).  
  

Besides taking care of kids, I've started training for the Portland half marathon that is in May.  I'm up to 7 miles and I'm glad I have some motivation because I want to lose the rest of the baby weight plus a few more pounds.  My friend Tresa wants me to do one in April, but we'll see how in shape I feel. I wish that I could snap my fingers and be in shape again! It's definitely more of a challenge to find the time for long runs but James is so good about giving me time for running.  :)
