Top 300!

I ran in the St. Patty's Day 5k with two of my girlfriends over the weekend! It was so much fun! The course was a bit hilly but I ran the entire time and feel good about the race. I finished in the top 300, a very elite group of people - ha!

Jeff & Madeleine met me at the finish line. I loved seeing their faces there cheering me on!

Katy & Sara ran the race with me. They were always a few paces ahead of during the race and motivated me to keep going!

I saw so many friends and neighbors there! Here is my neighbor Janaina with her little boy!

Bainbridge Island Day Trip

We just love Bainbridge Island as you can probably tell by all the trips we take over there! Saturday was a beautiful sunny day so we decided to take a trip over the water to enjoy the day. Jeff & I were laughing at the fact that we only visit Bainbridge on sunny days so in our minds, it is this lovely place where we walk around and shop, eat outside and take in the amazing views. I hope to never visit when it is raining out :-)

Here is Madeleine noticing the ferry started to move. She kept saying "we're moving, we're moving"! Notice her reflection in the window?

View of the City

I've taken this shot before but I think it is so cute!

Mt. Ranier

The sailboats were so much fun to watch! I couldn't believe how many were out!

Jeff picked a fun little cafe that we've never tried for lunch. It was yummy! Even Madeleine enjoyed her grilled cheese!

Back on the ferry, on the way home...

What we've up to...

We went to visit my great grandparents to say hi! Madeleine liked the cheetos Great Grandma gave her :-)
Madeleine loves her baby dolls and likes to pretend that she is a mommy!

Madeleine's been working on her abs of steel! I do these crunches with a bigger ball and Madeleine loves to copy!

Class!

Madeleine is still enjoying her "class" that we attend each week. Every time we drive into the parking lot, she shouts "class, class" and then talks about all her little friends she is about to see!

Today Jeff came to our class for about an hour so he could see what Madeleine does there. They painted, played at the water table, dids all sorts of coloring & stamping and played with some play-doh. He also sat in on Madeleine's favorite part of the day, singing! She LOVES to sing and practically goes nuts running around when they announce it is singing time.

Today Madeleine decided to play dress up at class and ran around the room in her fireman outfit making fire trucks sounds!

Lincoln Park

We took a drive down memory lane and headed to Lincoln Park in West Seattle on Sunday. We showed Madeleine all of our favorite places and our old apartment. Then we headed to Lincoln Park to take in the magnificent views! The weather is crazy right now and we are taking advantage of it!

Madeleine loved walking around the park and especially enjoyed throwing the rocks in the water! She could have done that all day.

Playing In the Water

I made the mistake of letting Madeleine play in the kitchen sink the other day and now that is all she wants to do! She asks us each day if she can wash her hands and brings her chair over to stand on. So we've been letting her play for a few minutes while trying to forget about wasting water!

I have no idea why my videos are not showing up. I have loaded them and re-loaded them. Sometimes I hate blogger.
