Running

I want to run a 5K on Memorial Day and I just finished my very first "Couch to 5K" workout. I'm not telling you this because I think that's special but because I need your help. I'm very good about getting excited about something like this and starting it and then not seeing it through. When it comes to exercising I'm even worse. So, please ask me how I'm doing. I've been thinking about running for about a year now but was pregnant and then it was stone cold winter up here...I could give you many more lame excuses. There's really probably only one valid one. Anyhow, I started today and it was pretty tough but it felt good. Please be praying for me as I work toward a personal goal of running in the Ridge Run on Memorial Day. And while you're praying please pray we find an inexpensive double jogging stroller so childcare will not become one of my lame excuses for not running.

Christianna's Soccer Game

A few weeks ago we went to see Sylvie's cousin Christianna. It was her last soccer game of the indoor season. Sylvie absolutely loves to go see "Nana".

The league had a food drive and Christianna's team won a pizza party for bringing in the most food. It was a very fun time.

First Sentence

Sylvie said her first sentence today...on her own! She was telling me she wanted juice. She thinks the cuter she says "Juice!" the more likely we are to say yes. (I wonder where she got that idea.) So she was saying "Juice. Juuuuiiiice." Giving a one syllable word two extra syllables. I responded smilingly saying "Milk. Miiiiilllk." We went back and forth like this a few times then she got kind of serious and said "I want juice." She got her juice.
