New week, new start

So Johnny moved in with us this week - his first day at Noblesville was today. I think it went well. Fingers crossed that this works out for all of us. Candice has a cross country meet tomorrow - hopeful that she will do her best.

Aunt Beth is doing 1 step forward, 2 steps back. She's back in ICU. We're going down Labor Day weekend - John will be staying here since Johnny will be in school. We may have a memorial service for Uncle Bill. I just can't get his voice out of my head saying, "Aww, Horseshit!" of all things. haha

I started running again with Susan last week - that makes me happy. Shin is still tender and pf is still there, but I'm just running through it. I would love to have a run that is totally painfree.

Sunday we went to the State Fair with Mary, Jason and Lillian. It was so fun. John and Mary rode a puketastic ride with Dylan and I while Johnny, Candice and Jason looked on. Lilly slept through it all. Thankfully, no one yakked. I got to try chocolate covered bacon, which I think I can totally make better at home. Maybe Belle can come help me make it!

That seems to be about it this week. I'm pretty excited for the races this weekend - probably because we have nothing else going on! Finally a weekend to relax! Maybe I'll post a mini blog about that.

Have a good week!

Finally...

Yes, I realize it's few and far between with these posts, but I'm not running (shin splints and pf) and I can't write about racing (conflict of interest) so I kind of forget about it. I think it's funny the last time I wrote was about Belle and Eli coming over, and today, Belle came over and went hiking and made scotcheroos with me. Fun times!!

So, what's new? The kids start school tomorrow - Johnny is a freshman and Candice is a junior. Eeek!

Lillian Catherine was born June 19th - she's almost two months old now! Such a cute, non-crying little babeh. Seriously, I don't think I've ever heard her cry, not even during her baptism when they dipped the water on her head.

In terribly sad news, Aunt Beth and Uncle Bill were in a car accident last Friday. Uncle Bill didn't make it. Aunt Beth has been through a few surgeries and had a HALO installed. Recent updates have been better, and I think she is actually out of ICU now. Fingers crossed and good vibes and prayers for her and the girls. When Aunt Beth is feeling better, Uncle Bill's ashes will be flown back up to Indiana.

I think that is about it - I am sore all the time after soccer and I don't even know when I'll be able to start running again. Hopefully in a few weeks. I need to start marathon training in the fall if I'm going to do the Phoenix marathon. Can't wait for that!
