Caroline Finishes Half Marathon!

I don't usually post anything on the blog but I am so proud of Caroline, I wanted everyone to know what a trooper she is. Four and one half months after a painful C-section and recovery she finished her first half marathon in just two hours. She ran through a lot of pain and nagging from her loving husband to reach her goal proving she can do anything she sets her mind to. Much love to all our friends and family for the support and we hope to see you all soon! --John

Mailee's 4 month check-up

Mailee had her 4 month check up and the doctor said she is perfectly healthy! She is in the 25th percentile for height and head circumference and 40th percentile for length/height...and of course the 100th percentile for cuteness - that's what daddy says at least.

Here are a few of her latest pictures... we found the doggie hat that Liam passed down to Mailee and had to get some shots of her in it. She wore it on our 10 mile run on Sunday (Mommy and Daddy are training for the 1/2 marathon next week and Mailee enjoys making the training extra tough for dad by making him push a stroller)




Had to post some jumperoo pictures too! Mailee seems to love it... Mom on the other hand isn't too pleased with her house turning into a circus with brightly colored baby toys EVERYWHERE! She came down stairs recently to Dad saying "don't open the door, you aren't going to be happy"... not listening, I opened the door to a smiling John and a very happy Mailee... and a HUGE baby jumper added to the swing, bouncy seat, activity mat and exersaucer. OH WELL... I've been outnumbered!

Another Smile Finally Captured on Camera

Mailee sure doesn't like to hand out smiles... but I finally got another one on camera the other day and had to post the shot.
She is now four months old and has quite the personality already... so fun to watch develop!
Our nanny, Melody started this week and we absolutely love her - so does Mailee! :)

Mom H's bday weekend

We enjoyed a splendid weekend with the family to celebrate Mom's birthday! Jay, Deanne and the boys drove up from Seattle and of course Mom and Dad stayed the weekend too.
Mailee was excited to go to another birthday party!

Mailee's First Play Date

Mailee's friend Georgia (and mommy's friend, Jen) hosted a play group a couple of weeks ago. Georgia, Audrianna and Mailee enjoyed getting to actually meet each other since all the other times have been in their strollers while their mommy's went walking or in car seats while their mommy's met at a restaurant.
We look forward to our weekly planned play dates.

Happy Birthday Mom

We can't wait to celebrate together this weekend - ALL of us :) We love you!

Happy Birthday Sallie!

Wishing you love from miles away!

A video for Grandma & Grandpa R

Not the best video of her talking.. but hey, it's something... she is getting better at performing for the camera.

We've got a smile!

Finally... Mailee didn't get her "serious" face in front of the camera. Here is proof that she isn't the grinch's daughter.

Here are a couple other cute pics I took of her.
