Team In Training

So, this isn't the greatest picture...but this is my life now, 5 days a week! I'm training for a full marathon! Holy cow...what did I sign up to do? What was I thinking with an almost 3 year old & 8 month old?!? :) Pushing 70+ pounds is hard work...but amazingly the training has gone well so far.

Why am I doing this? Well, first off it's the physical challenge of running 26.2 miles & getting back into shape after having Benjamin...& then most importantly it's in honor of my mom & other relatives who have been given the awful diagnosis of cancer. I miss you, mom! :)

I made it a goal to raise $2900 for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society - the money raised goes to cancer research as well as help cancer patients quality of life while they go through treatment. It's a great cause...please help me reach my goal! You can head over to my personal fundraising website: http://pages.teamintraining.org/wa/rnr10/sbyeman OR send me a check made payable to LLS.

Thanks so much in advance for you generosity!!

Climbing stairs!

Yep...check this off his to-do list as of last night!

A snapshot into our day!

Mr. On-the-move!



Lunch time fun!

Standing up!

This is how I found Benjamin on Saturday after his nap! Man...this kid is zooming though all the milestones! Watch out, world...he's on a mission to be walking & keeping up with his big sister! I sincerely hope he doesn't walk soon because I've already got my hands full running after him & he's just crawling! :) The only bummer thing about him learning new skills is that he tries them out in the middle of the night! Last night he woke up crying real hard...I went in to see what the matter was...he was simply standing up in his crib & he probably didn't know how to get back down!

Bath Time Fun!

We LOVE bath time...can't you tell?! :)

Our little man is growing up too fast!!

Being goofy with shampoo in her hair!

Ummm...are you hungry or teething?! Probably both.

Look out world....

We've got a crawler on our hands!

Benjamin decided to crawl on Saturday...oh boy! I was hoping that he wouldn't crawl for a bit longer because now I have go through the house & baby proof it better! It's crazy to think he is just 7 months old & crawling already.....Jaelyn didn't crawl until she was 9 months old. I wonder if he's going to walk sooner than Jaelyn did...kinda hope not!! Who knows...maybe he'll be the kid who just crawls everywhere & doesn't want to walk (but I highly doubt that!!)
