Time to Babyproof

Helping with the Laundry

Gabe helped us with the laundry this morning.

It was hard work!

Piggy Back

Today was Gabe's first long hike riding piggy back. After a solid two hour hike in the mountains of Maryland near Camp David, we stopped off at Pryor's orchard. Picked up some great cider, fresh preserves and a fantastic wagon that Gabe was pretty excited about. All in all, it was a perfect Sunday.

Vintage Baby

Gabe's grandma (JJ) did an amazing job at saving alot of Evan's cute baby clothes. Check out Gabe's Vintage Daddy-o sweater. He also looks super cute in this hat (thanks G+J!). Just another fall day getting bundled up for day care.

Little Moo

Ok, so we kind of slacked in the costume department. Gabe wore a cow onesie he already had and as you can see, he was jealous of the other cow in his class.

Marathon Mom

Not to steal the spotlight, but...

I RAN A MARATHON!!

I can't say it was the most glamorous 4 hours and 55 minutes of my life, but I did it 8 months after having a baby and having a C-Section and being re-diagnosed with diabetes and taking insulin everyday...so I'm pretty proud if I may say so myself. I was really inspired by all the people out there who were running for something -- a mother lost to cancer, a soldier fallen in Iraq, to raise money for diabetes, etc. Not quite as inspiring, but I ran for myself and for Gabe. All new moms need some time away from baby and I spent that time training for a marathon. It made me a better Mom which made Gabe a happier baby.

My brother Morris ran the race too (first one!). He tied my best marathon time of 4:07. Guess he'll have to run another one to beat his sister. Hahahhahahaha.

I'll post marathon photos as soon as I get them, but in the meantime, back to the reason you check this blog....

Double chin!!

Swingin' Good Time

We had a fun visit to the park yesterday. Gabe played in the swing, dug in the dirt and rolled around in the grass. When we got home, Boudreaux was especially excited to see Gabe.
