This is pretty much an everyday thing in our house, as Kaleigh is finishing up her lunch she starts to doze off and it is pretty funny to watch.
You would think she would go right down for her nap after this but as soon as you touch her she is wide awake and ready to go.

Big Girl Bed!
It's official, we have a big girl living in our house. Kaleigh's crib was moved out and a toddler bed moved in (again thanks to Cheri). As you can see Princess' are the big thing in Kaleigh's world right now.
Seeing the bed for the first time, she was very excited.
Trying it out, I think it is going over very well.
Now to see where and when she falls asleep tonight.

Picture Day
Hadn't really planned on taking pictures today but the kids just looked so cute and it is so hard to get pictures of Riley because he doesn't like to sit still. So I caught him playing with the pieces of his train set on the table.
Kaleigh just likes having her picture taken, but for some reason it is hard to get her to smile in pictures. Not sure why but she always looks so serious.
Did a five mile walk this morning and let me tell you that first mile was a killer, haven't had a time that slow in quite a while. The rest of the walk was much better so I knew it was just because of the long walk on Sunday and getting back into the swing of things.

The Training Continues
Today I did the longest walk of my training schedule; 14 miles. That is the longest I have walked in a really long time plus it was at a pace I have never done before. 3:15:16 which works out to a 13:57 pace. I would really like to finish the 1/2 marathon at that pace, if the weather cooperates I will be able to do it. Now I just keep up my normal walking of five miles five days a week and then I will take a couple of days off before the race. The big day is March 7 at 0600, can't wait.

When Will the Florida Weather Return?
It was a rainy, nasty day here. I realize it is much worse up north but I moved to Florida for warm sunny weather with an occasional thunder storm thrown in but this has gotten ridiculous and I'm ready for the bad weather to end and the beautiful weather to come back.
It was just the kids and I today and we played and had lots of fun. Kaleigh got this block set for Christmas and has been really getting in building towers on it.
Tried getting a picture of Riley's haircut, you can see his eyes now and the rest of it blends together.
Kaleigh always gets upset if I take a picture of Riley and not one of her. So here she is, standing by my leg, poking me and saying "Me, me". She was very happy when I took a picture and showed it to her.
Mum, Dad, and Tammy stopped by for a quick visit. Dad dropped off the bird-feeders I had asked for because the woodpeckers had found the one we had and it was impossible to keep it full. All we do is mix some peanut butter with birdseed (Riley's job) and fill the hole with the mixture. Dan will hang and fill them this weekend.
My excitement for the week was printing out the waiver for the Princess 1/2 Marathon, just means the race it getting that much closer.

Haircut Day
Another favorite thing to play with in our house. These are birdhouse I painted years ago and now they finally have a use. Kaleigh loves to move them around, stack them up and put stuff in them. Keeps her happy for a good long time and that is a good thing.
Today I finally decided to get my haircut, it had been way to long since my last one and the back was getting pretty curly and unruly. Riley was in the same predicament except we were having a hard time seeing his face. So I went bright and early and when I got home after doing a couple of other errands we headed out again to get Riley's hair done.
As you can see the front had gotten pretty long.
Kaleigh was jealous and wanted her picture taken so I obliged her.
Riley was kind of fidgety until it was mentioned he would get a treat if he sat still and that was all it took and the rest of the haircut went very well.
I didn't get an after picture but I sure you will be seeing some in the days to come.

It's the Weekend
Where has the time gone? I can't believe it is already February and it is already zooming by.
Yesterday we went to the courthouse and applied for Andy, Nikki, Riley, and Kaleigh's passports/passcards. We got the passcards for the kids for right now because they are only valid for five years and no sense paying for a full passport when they probably won't be traveling anywhere that requires a passport until later. We were very happy that the lady that waited on us was very efficient and got everything done very quickly.
Dan and I went to the commissary, so one more big shopping trip completed.
Riley working on his puzzle, he completed it all by himself and was very excited, as were we.

Muffin Man
Today was Riley's turn to stay home with me and he got to help me bake blueberry muffins. We made big ones for Baapa and little ones for Kaleigh and him.
Watching the muffins cook.
Enjoying the fruits of his labor.
While I cleaned up he participated in one of the favorite activities in this house, rearranging the magnets on the refrigerator. It's something that can keep them occupied for a good long time.

I May Be Back!
I know it has been forever since I posted but it was getting to be more of a chore and not really much fun so I took a break. Now I'm going to give it another try.
Life has been going on, just as busy as ever. I'm sure you all know what I mean. I'm still walking and preparing for the half-marathon; it is only 4.5 weeks away. Getting exciting about finishing the race. My training has been right on schedule, did a 12-miler this past weekend, 13:32 a mile pace. This is what I'm shooting for on race day. Still have a 14-miler to do in two weeks and then I will be easing up until race day.
Have already planned to do a couple more 1/2 marathons this year and each month Tammy, Kim and I try to get together and do a 5 or 10K just to do them.
Today was a big day for Riley, he has been walking on his toes for forever and today he got casts on to correct the problem. He did really well getting them on and seems to be adjusting to his "astronaut boots" and you would hardly know he has them on. I told him he looked just like Jagee (Dad) did and he thought that was pretty funny. He will have them on for six weeks and then have some physical therapy.
Can you believe how big Riley and Kaleigh have gotten. A monster has been created in our house and we are blaming Kim because she gave Kaleigh a set of Princess pajamas for Christmas and now all Kaleigh wants to wear are things with princesses on them. She isn't even two and already knows just what she wants to wear.
