Looking back, looking forward

Hubby and I made the opportunity to get away for the night last night. We had a wonderful time of reconnecting to each other as husband and wife, not just mom and dad or homeowners or roomies! It was wonderful to be able to go out to eat without having to chase after children or making an emergency potty run. It was good to just be able to talk, share our hopes and our goals for the future. Such a refreshing time away!

Now, Little Miss is having a little overnight trip with Grandma. Baby Girl is sleeping soundly in her crib. I should be enjoying this sleeping baby time by sleeping myself, but I got drawn into a movie on tv (cursed thing). Hubby is sleeping like a baby, resting up for his race tomorrow. He's running a 5K tomorrow, and his goal is to run it under 24 minutes. I, on the other hand, ran 2 miles today for the first time in this training session in 21:43...about 2.25 min less than what hubby wants to run 3 mi. in! I have to keep reminding myself that he's been running for a lot longer than I have, and he's pretty tiny compared to my. Maybe one of these days, I'll get my eating back on track and lose some weight while I'm running!

The big family reunion began tonight. We obviously are not there yet. We'll be going over after the race tomorrow. A quick stop to eat on the way, then to my mom's to get Little Miss, then off to the Lazy R Ranch for some good times with family. We missed last year due to me being as big as a house with Baby Girl. Dr. wasn't too hot on me traveling 2-3 hours away when it was so incredibly hot. That means I haven't seen almost all of these people since last May (or was it June) when we were at the funeral of a dear cousin. I'm looking forward to catching up with them.

Monday starts daycare for the girls. I have orientation at work, so they'll be going to their sitter (whom they love!). I'm excited to see what this year will bring for them. I know that Little Miss will learn a lot from Mr. Tom this year; I'm looking forward to seeing her growth!
