we've been a little too busy to sit down and blog...so here's the quick version of what we've been up to lately.
ellington's 1st dentist visit
she was so excited to go to the dentist. a few months ago we read a Dora book about going to the dentist and ever since then she's been asking to go. i had a cleaning coming up so i asked if they squeeze her in after mine. our dentist is awesome with kids...since he has 3 of his own and they are good friends of ellington.

she did great keeping her mouth open wide and staying still. we practiced before going how to open wide...helped that Dora modeled that too. can't help it the teacher in me to prep her for what's coming.
{grand}mother's day gifts: painted flower pots
ellington and beckett love to paint, so we decided to paint some flower pots for the grandmas for mother's day. then we filled them with some sweet pansies and viola beautiful masterpieces
easier to let beckett paint with nothing on!
proud of her work
being very careful and purposeful
just going at it
the end result
river bank run: 10k & 25K
josh and i ran the river bank run this year.
this is the only pictures i have, the others are on my phone and haven't downloaded (all 1,100 pictures) since i've had the phone.
it was mother's day weekend, so we headed up to GR friday night, stayed with josh's grandparents and got up bright and early saturday morning to RUN. josh did the 10k with his dad and i did the 25k with my sister and brother in law. it was josh's first race and mine since before beckett was even a thought :) it felt really good to get back into the training mode and have a goal to reach. josh and i have been switching evenings of who gets a run in or he takes the kids saturday mornings and i head out with my neighbor. it just feels good to get out running again. josh isn't totally sold on the idea that running can be fun, but he's at least running to be healthy. i'm so proud of him and his ability to put his mind to it and just go. he's biking a lot more too, and is getting ready to head out with his dad this weekend on a biking trip up north. some fun bonding time and enjoying the great outdoors of michigan.
our next run...
COLOR RUN GR - 5k
with powder paint thrown at you each mile!!!
now that should be FUN
