Chris gets a lot of camera time!

I don’t really care for pictures of me.  However, I do want my kids to remember me in pictures.  I set up the camera and took a picture of me reading Chris his bedtime story tonight.

I am 1 day behind and trying catch up.  Anyways, here is little Christopher playing on the playground in the backyard.  He is fearless at 13 months old.

This is going to have to be a quick post.  We just got back from Disney World and I have a ton to get done before tomorrow morning.  This weekend was the Disney Marathon.  They also have a 5k run on Friday morning.  You can run with a stroller, so Dan and I thought it would be fun to run with kids.  We race every race we can find where strollers are allowed.  Unfortunately, Dan and I missed that this was a “Fun” run.  We are fairly competitive people and this was not a competitive race.  First, strollers were put back with the walkers.  Not a good idea.  Second, people were actually stopping in the middle of the race to take pictures.  What??????

Anyways, I’m pretty sure we were the first strollers to cross the finish line.  I heard many people say, “Wow, look at that guy move with that stroller” and then closely followed by ” Wow, there goes his wife.” Dan and I can’t race and not compete.  Because of the crowds, whenever we found a break we took it.  Most times we were sprinting at a 5 and a half minute mile, but then we would get caught in the crowd and it would tumble to an 11 minute mile.  Frustrating…  I know I took out a ton of cones on the race, and the cones I did not get, Dan got.  The good thing is, that neither Dan or I ran anyone over.  We were very careful.

Next year, we plan to do the Half Marathon.  No more Fun runs for us.

Did I mention that we had to be at Epcot at 6:15 AM for the race Friday morning?  None of use were too happy…
