A Great Weekend




We all enjoyed a wonderful weekend with nice spring weather. On Saturday, we actually took both boys to an art show downtown. A friend of John's from high school who is an amazingly talented artist had several of his paintings displayed in a local art gallery. The boys were phenomenal the entire time. They enjoyed all the people, the noises, and the bright lights displaying the paintings. We even went to an early dinner before the art show and they behaved quite well. They were so tired on Saturday night after all the action that they actually slept until 5:00 am! They got up briefly to feed for about 10 minutes and then were back in bed and we all slept until 7:30 am. That is the most consecutive sleep that we have had since January.

On Sunday, we took the boys down to the lakes in Minneapolis and ran 7 miles at around an 8:15 or 8:30 pace. I was very happy with the run as my distance and speed has greatly increased in the last month. There is progress, thankfully, as I am still working to get at least 10-15 lbs. of baby weight off. The weight is not coming off very easily, but hopefully will improve as we are more active with the nicer weather.

I am including a few pictures of the boys at playtime with their dad. We purchased one of the bouncy swings that hangs from the door at a local resale shop. The swing looks brand new and the boys are starting to get the hang of it.

Hope you all had a nice weekend as well!
