Off to Richmond 8K

We are off again! No wonder why we don't have friends in North Carolina. We are never here, or at least it sounds like a good excuse. The time has already come for the Richmond 8K. This 8K will be 6 long miles, which doesn't make since to me seems how 5k are 3.2 miles but ohh well. This really shouldn't be a big deal but seems how I haven't run in over a week I'm a little concerned. I started to feel sick the day I left Seattle. I mentioned it to Pete and Kenz as they drove me to the airport. By Wednesday night I felt miserable and wanted to croak. I'm doing a little better but I still barely have a voice. Poor Matt I think hit his worst last night. And for Keeley, I don't really know, she has slept more and has had a tantrum or two but other than than seems to be doing pretty well. I think it's the flu, sore throat, aches, cough, congestion. Did I mention sore throat?

Have you seen the Google flu tracker? We don't get the news but I have heard the flu tracker has been all over it. I think it is pretty sweet. If you want to check it out here is the link.

I sat in front of a family doctor on my way home from Seattle. He told me that the average baby after they turn 6 months will get 7 colds in the next 12 months. That is crazy! I guess we just started early.

I hope everyone stays healthy, Get your flu shots (MOM!). Don't wait like we did. And wish us luck. My goal was 1 hour 15 min but I'm not counting on it at this point.

Trip to Seattle (Lots and Lots of Pictures)

Keeley and I returned on Saturday from a week with the other Roberts family. Matt's younger brother, Peter, and his family live in Seattle. I hadn't seen them in almost a year so I made a visit. His wife Mackenzie and I have become best friend and I feel so fortunate that we are also "sisters." Not many people get to claim that about in-laws. She took lots of pictures for us. I'm just going to let you enjoy them. Maybe you will get a feel for the great week we had and how much I love that family!

Kenz and I (I'll always treasure this picture, even though it is pouring rain. I guess that is what happens when you leave taking a picture together until you are late for the airport :) )

Okay inside joke with the peace sign, but fun picture anyway.

Keeley Addison 5 months

Keeley and Nathan become best buds. He would run down the stairs every morning going "Keeley, Keeley."

Hailee Rae 12 weeks old

Keeley in her new bow from Aunt Kenzi.

Keeley playing in the dirt. Notice it on her cheek.

My mom got them all matching outfits. We tried our best to get a perfect picture but we are talking about three babies here. Not possible! Keeley was so intrigued by Nathan all week she would just watch him for hours.

I think by this point we were jumping up and down and singing skidamerink(I have no idea how to spell that)

Nathan and Hailee I love how both their hands are in their mouths.

Good Morning. Nathan being being a good older brother/cousin holding the babies hands.

We got to celebrate Nathans second birthday with everyone. Aunt Pattie and Uncle Brian also came for the celebration!

Keeley and I in our new outfits!

One more of Keeley showing off!

The girls and me. Aren't they both adorable. I can't imagine having twin though. It was crazy with two of us and three kids under two. (Kelsey we don't know how you do it!)

We had a wonderful week thanks Pete, Kenz, Nathan and Hailee for having us. Thanks to Matt for letting us go while he stayed home and worked long days!
