as of late

did i mention we moved? 

well, we did.  it is a lovely little basement apartment. 

we love it.  i'll have to post pics when we are a little more put together. 

i'll also share a fun little story sometime soon. 

until then, i thought i'd post a few recent pictures.

minnie is at a really fun age.  

she is learning to pull faces, 

stick her tongue out and sit in a big girl high chair at restaurants. 

last sunday minnie and christian looked like they just stepped out of the 1950s.

lastly, she decided to start taking guitar lessons from her dad. 

we may have a little bluegrass star on our hands.  only time will tell.  

minnie's first race

minnie, christian and i ran a 5K together. 

it was for the river heights apple days celebration. 

uncle tyler joined us too. 

minnie cried for the first little bit.  she was pretty tired.  

i thought i was going to need to stop and feed her, but she pulled through. 

she fell asleep at the top of the hill, right when we got to the top. 

i had planned to stop and feed her at the top of that hill. 

she slept the remainder of the race. 

she is such a good little baby. 

right after the race.  we're all coming off our race high. 

turns out, tyler won a trophy for his age category.
i won a $10 gift card from the raffle.
and, we all scored ourselves some apple pie and ice cream.
this is the kind of race i can get behind for a number of reasons:
1) the entry fee was only $3
2) they allowed baby strollers
3) it was a perfect temperature
4) it started at 9:00 am
5) they had pie and ice cream after the event

hooray for race winners, inc.! 

p.s. the goal was racing to finish...and we did just that.
