OPENING THE MURATA’S PACKAGE
APRIL 5, 2018

​Every year we send a package to our Japanese friends, The Murata’s and they send us one back.  The kids always get so excited to open up the Murata’s package every year.  The girls were really excited by the cool erasers and everyone enjoyed the fun Japanese candy.

SWIM MEET MARKINGS

​I love watching the boys swim and especially love seeing their arms marked up with their events and lanes they will be swimming in each meet.  It is such a joy to watch them work so hard during every meet.

RUNNING ON THE SANTA FE WITH MIKE
APRIL 14, 2018

​In preparation for my half marathon in June I have finally added in long mileage days.  Today Mike was kind enough to bike next to me while I did a 10-mile run.  We had the WORST headwind and it was more like me running and then looking back to see where Mike was. The wind was so strong that it was hard for him to catch up to me after my 2-mile water break. It wasn’t until after the turnaround point at mile 5 that we were able to meet back up together. The nice tailwind and the ever so slightly downhill grade helped me run fast during the second half of my workout. I was able to manage 7:30 miles, which was amazing.  

PETER’S 15TH BIRTHDAY
APRIL 18, 2018
Picture
We took Peter out to Longhorn steakhouse for his birthday.  He wanted to wait until after swim season to have a party with his friends since he is avoiding sugar during the swim season.  He enjoyed his burger and fries and loved his presents.  We gave him a Switch game called Rocket League and a extra game pack for his Legend of Zelda game. He was thrilled to also get money from both sets of grandparents.  

NEW WALL ART
APRIL 21, 2018

​Ever since getting our new family room furniture we had planned on getting new photos for the wall.  We decided to put the Japanese thin wraps in the office and order metal photos with pictures that I took all around the world.  After finally ordering the large Seattle skyline photo I finally sat down and prepped the other photos to be printed.  We were so happy with the way the collage turned out on our family room wall.
 
After the loft got a fresh coat of paint it was time to update the walls.  We got a pushpin map of the world and a new quote for the wall.  Then we added clocks with times from the different places we have lived.  The final piece was ordering a fun chair for the loft.  The loft definitely has a more older kid feel to it now.  Super fun!

LETTER FROM EMMA’S TEACHER
APRIL 25, 2018
Picture
​I got the best little note in the mail today from Emma’s social studies teacher.  She had such great things to say about our Emma.  This came from the teacher that not many students like so it meant even more that she took the time to send this nice note.

RUNNING WITH THE STRIDERS
APRIL 26, 2018

I LOVE LOVE LOVE running with my running group at Garden of the Gods.  This is probably my favorite place to run.  My running friends are just the best people to run with.  They totally motivate me and inspire me by their worth ethic and how kind and supportive they are.  I’m lucky to have found such a great group of runners.
