So much is going on these days, I just don't know where to start. Too much has happened since my last post to back track, so we will just move forward! Mark and I both ran in the marathon this past weekend. He ran the full (26.2 miles) in 3 hrs 13 min and I ran the half (13.1 miles) in 2 hrs 45min. Yes, I finished before him and therefore accomplished my goal!! Whoo Hoo!!! Very sad that it was so close and he ran twice as far as I did, but hey...he is a natural, I am NOT!!! He enjoys running, I do NOT!

The kids are all doing great! Knock on wood....NOW!! Regan is in dance classes now and she loves it. Her favorite is tap because of the shoes. Dylan is taking gymnastics and he is doing great. We moved them to the YMCA so they could both take classes at the same time instead of sitting and watching the other one. It has worked great so far. Adam is still doing mom and me gymnastics at Cypress Academy. He loves it. I am ready for him to be potty trained so that he can move to the pre-school class and I can just watch instead of participate. I know I will look back and miss those days, but right now I am ready for him to move on. Call me crazy.

In other news, we will be taking our first Disney vacation in early February!!! I am so excited! I think I am more excited than the kids! We are driving (not too much looking forward to that part) so it will be a long trip for everyone. Mark wanted to run the Austin marathon this year which happens to be on Feb 15, the day after we get home from Disney World. He asked if I thought he would be too tired. I just laughed. Oh no, 2 days in the car with 3 pre-schoolers, 5 days walking Disney world with 3 pre-schoolers, 2 more days of driving with 3 pre-schoolers....I think he would be in great shape to run 26.2 miles the following day....don't you??? Hee Hee! I guess he is in for a rude awakening. After all, he works all day and does not spend ALL DAY with the kids very often, much less 9 days in a row! This should be fun.

I started training for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer this weekend. The official walk is not until April, but it will be intense. The first day is a 26.2 mile walk, followed by a night in a tent, and then another 13.1 miles the second day. My friend, Julie, and I are doing this together to celebrate her being 10 years cancer free. So far, the hardest part has been the fundraising. I am required to raise at least $1800. in order to participate. Thank you so much to those of you who have already contributed. I really appreciate your support!!! We went to a launch party this weekend and it was so inspiring. We need to find a cure for breast cancer, soon.

Everyone take care! I will try to update again soon!
