Go Lux!

Remember my old post about Lux, my old turf? Well Lux must be celebrating these days...

Kim Kirchen is from Lux, and he is leading the Tour de France. Go Lux!

Sleeping Babies

WKF and his Grandpa shared a nap this morning.

Little Dude

Which way is the beach?

Grandparents!

As mentioned a few times before (here and here), the grandparents are here.

WKF is loving it. I think they are having an OK time too...

I think WKF is good for Birdie...you RARELY see this woman lying on a couch...it is great to see her chill with WKF on the couch for long stretches of time.

Rest assured she is busy busy in between sessions with her Grandson...my laundry is always going, my fridge is cleaned out, it is clean under my fridge, my cabinets are being organized one by one....oh it is GREAT having them here!!!!

Plus, each day I get to go out and have a bit of me time...mani, pedi, haircut, chai latte, etc. etc. - while they watch WKF...so nice! I am getting spoiled, what will I do when they return to the midwest?!

Littlest Patriot

WKF was practicing the Pledge of Allegiance before the party.

Tower of Cupcakes

Birdie made 96 ice-cream cone cupcakes for the party on the 4th. Go Birdie.

We ate them all. Well, we had some help from the guests...

I bought this 3 tiered tower thing years ago... I was thrilled to finally use it. Cute, right?

Funny Confession XI

I seek out opportunities to wear tiaras. I was thrilled when my mom found a patriotic tiara for the 4th of July party last year. So thrilled that I stored her in a special place until this year, and wore her again for the party.

I actually thought about bringing a tiara to the hospital for WKFs entrance into the world (for me, not him)...but the water broke so early I hardly had time to remember my nightie collection.

What does this say about me?!?! Who cares...I love tiaras, lets leave it at that....

Run Like a Girl!

I just got the latest Runner's World mag (these days I read about running more than I run). There is a very interesting feature about running skirts. For years I have been sporting one with pride, and I was surprised to hear that they are so polarizing among women runners. People love them or hate them. Funny. I love them.

I love them so much that sometimes I even run in tennis skirts (because there are more options and they tend to be even more girly - they often have pleats, etc. - see above).

I have been hoping for years that a certain large athletic company whose HQ is here in PDX rolls out a more extensive line of girly running gear - including some super fun skirts. Hey RG, can you work on this for me!?! I know they already make skirts...but I want more and I want them better.

If you are on the other side of the running skirt issue (if you dislike them) - I encourage you to at least try them. Enter a race, girl up your outfit...and see if your time is any better. I think it will be. Honestly, I run faster and happier in skirts.

I will be back to my running self in 2 more weeks (docs say I must take 6 full weeks to recover from c-section - ugh). So...watch for me in my skirt on terwilliger....I'll be there. Maybe I'll see you in yours?

Funny Confession X

I love the 4th. I hate fireworks.




Well, I hate the kind that are not far away in the sky (e.g., the kind you light yourself in the backyard).


So, if you are checking my blog before you head over for our (fabulous) party, keep your pyrotechnics away from me and tell everyone else to do the same. And more importantly, keep them away from WKF. Merci.

Mimi - the sparklers are approved and appreciated.

80 minutes until party time! Yeah.

Speaking of 4th of July Parties....WKF's prego aunt JG (and her baby, crickett) won the pie eating contest at her inlaw's annual 4th party. Go girl.

Happy 4th to all.

Grandparents!

Happy 4th

WKF has been sleeping in his own room to celebrate Independence day. Thanks for the crib GG!

Grandparents!

WKF's grandparents are coming! They'll be here within the hour!
