This past weekend was a busy one. We had a party at our home to celebrate both Zoe's (Now 5) and Teddy's (Now 3) birthdays! Before Daisy was born, we were pretty consistent in entertaining our friends and family, but this year we have just been too overwhelmed to be having parties. So it almost felt like a statement..."We are back!"

There were lots of kids there and several friends we haven't seen lately. The weather was hot, so it became a swim party. I played kid songs on my guitar and we had some games, then later we cooked out and broke out the wine and beer.

I also ran another foot race this weekend. It was a last minute decision, but I signed up for the Masters (over 40) 4 Mile Race. The weather was hot, but I endured and turned in a respectable time of 29 minutes, 13 seconds, coming in 13th out of 62 runners.
