9 Months

A day or two old in the hospital (I just found this pic on my phone that Robert had taken---I love it!!)

Hanging out at a track meet a couple of weeks ago.
I can't believe we already have a 9 month old baby!! We had our 9 month well baby check up this week, and Annalise is doing great. She was able to gain a pound in 1 month bringing her up to a whopping 14lbs 4oz. She was just over 25 inches long and her head was about 17 inches around. She is learning new things everyday. Crawling has been pretty frustrating for her in the last week or two, but it has now seemed to click. I guess it is time to get the gates out and start baby proofing the house!! Clapping and waving are also new tricks that she is picking up on everyday. Just thought I'd share a couple of my favorite pictures of her at the moment. Hope everyone has a great day!

Crawling

Someone has learned to crawl. Just a night ago she was learning how to balance on her knees...

And so the fun begins...

Thanks Bethany

While I was out of the house today, Bethany decided to help me get a little support for Team Red White & Blue, without my knowing.

Check out what she did...

If that doesn't make you want to check out Team Red White & Blue, I'm not sure what will!

More from Team RWB

A few questions regarding the "guts" of Team Red White & Blue have come up. Here's a bit of info from the founder himself on what it's all about.


IT'S OUR TURN

The Hospice 5k

Turns out Mom & Laura decided to run/walk their first ever 5k in Tuscaloosa, AL.

It was for the Hospice of West Alabama Organization.

Before the race start: Milling around, getting ready.
Annalise decided she wanted to let them know she was pulling for them:
Then we got word that they were coming to the finish line with a final time of 50:11 for their 5k walk!
Again, Annalised wanted them to know she was excited. 
So, way to go to the both of you. Hopefully it's sparked a fun interest in doing more!!

More snow

So we got another dusting of 2-3" of snow last night. Of course being here in the south, everything is closed until ten this morning (We're supposed to break freezing temps by then.)

I cannot recall when the last time was that we got snow twice in one winter. Maybe it's time we move to Florida? :)

But that doesn't mean I couldn't get up and knock out an easy 3mile run before work. The hay is in the barn and now we just sit back and enjoy the taper before Sunday's race...

Team Red White & Blue

I mentioned late last year about the possibitly of joining a racing team for 2011. Turns out, there's been some development on that front and it's definitely going to make for a great 2011 racing season.

Last year, I sent in an application with my race schedule, some of my goals, and why I think I could race for their team. And as it turns out, they must have liked what they saw because just last week, they delivered a race package to my doorstep. And in that package were some pretty cool goodies.
First we started out with a very nice looking magnet. It's already on my vehicle, so keep your eyes peeled. 
Secondly, I found a hat.
Lastly, came a shirt. The front has their logo (red & blue eagle) while the back has their logo plus their slogan.
 And all together:
 I would say that turned out to be quite the pretty cool race setup! I'm definitely impressed. And as it turns out, yes, I'll be racing for Team Red White & Blue in 2011!

As part of the campaign for Team RWB, the mission is to tranform the way wounded veterans are reintegrated into society when they have returned from combat and exit their military life. This is through support of us athletes, themselves, and Team RWB. 

I encourage you to check out Team RWB, read up on their mission and goals and if you feel it, add a donation to help the cause. I'll be raising money for Team RWB throughout the year, and if you feel it's something you can support, your help would be greatly appreciated.

And feel free to ask questions, share my page, and if you'd like talk to me about joining up for Team Red White & Blue!

flu

We're around. I promise.

I was struck down with the flu all last week and am just now returning to my feet. Being out with a fever over 102* just makes for a very unproductive week and the feeling of doing nothing.

Don't worry, we'll be getting some photos up soon enough, and who knows, maybe a video too...
