London's Run.

It was cold!

Noah with his ribbon

I've been meaning to blog about this, but keep forgetting...so here it is!

I decided to include Noah in my running adventures.

I have been wanting Noah to set goals and not only set them but achieve them too. So I talked him into running London's 2 mile race with me and finishing it without walking. This would be a race that wasn't too tough for him but still something that he would need to practice at so that he would be able to finish it. Last November I had him start waking up earlier then the norm to run with me daily so that he would be able to finish the entire race.

He did it!
I could tell that he was proud of himself...he said to me once he crossed the finish line that he felt good and that he wants to do it again next year. This was a great experience for the both of us and something that the both of us will probably always do together!

I am so proud of him!!!

Update: Kyra's Ear Tubes.

Today, Kyra got her tubes put in. We woke up early and left the house by 6:45 so that we could make it to her 7:30 check-in time at the hospital. We got there and we didn't have to wait long before they took us in to get her dressed and ready. As you can see, she didn't know what was going on, which was a good thing! Her little gown was cute but kinda boyish, why couldn't they just bust out some pink. The whole procedure took a wopin' 15 minutes. Yeah, for Dr. Gambino...he's so good! Dr. Gambino was the doctor that Beth use to work for. Dr. Gambino said she definitely needed the tubes, especially her left ear. He said that he had to suction her left ear out and that the infection was so bad that it looked like rubber cement (goowie and stringy). I can't believe how happy my little girl was eventhough she was having these incredible ear pains. Unbelievable, what babies go through and they are still so happy!!! I think I need to learn from her and be a bit more happy:) When she was in recovery, it was so sad! I walked in and she was screaming. You know that scream/cry when they are in pain...it was that kinda cry:( It was all I could do but to cry with her. It wasn't that she was in pain, it was just that she was still waking up and she wanted me and didn't know where she was. I sat and sang "I am a Child of God" to her. She never did stop crying until we left the hospital. All she did was want me to hold her and so I did. I stood in the parking lot for another 15 min. holding her. I finally got her in the carseat and she was out-cold. She woke up around 1. She was so hungry!! She had been fasting for the surgery. She is doing good now and you would never guess that she had surgery this morning.
