Family run night

Between fighting several colds on and off (the count is up to three already, including a double ear infection, after only two months in day care!), long road trips to see dear family and friends the last couple of weekends, Jim's business travel schedule picking up, & me feeling the need to put in a few extra hours of work from home most nights, we've been so busy lately that we've felt like there has been little time for much of any kind of family activity in the evenings. Other than the little bit of play time we get with Jacob before bath and bed, which is always so fun and usually my favorite part of each day. In addition from the brief but oh so fun play time in the morning before work, too!

With daylight savings and the gorgeous weather we've had recently, we were inspired to dust off the B.O.B. and have family run night tonight. It was so great to get out and run a couple of miles (that's all mommy and daddy can handle when we've been so sedentary for so long!) as a family. Jacob seemed to love it and was pooped after a good workout. Mom and Dad were pooped, too! My legs are already cursing at me and wondering why in the world I've abandoned them for so long only to torture them with inconsistent teases of a couple of miles here and there these last several months. But it was very energizing, and for me at least, helped further my desire to get back into the swing of my long lost passionate hobby! (More to come on that in another post...)

I love this candid shot of my two boys laughing!

Love the new shades we found Jacob!
