Summer Kicks Off!

This weekend was our unofficial, unofficial kick-off to summer. Saturday started with a 5k at the Cherry Blossom Festival in Pawtucket. Once again, I ran alone while Bruce pushed Evan in the stroller. My goal was to break 25 minutes and run my fastest race ever but during the run I didn't feel like I was going to do it. However, once I reached the two mile mark, I knew I had a chance. Come to find out, not only did I break 25 but I broke 24 as well. I ran a 23:53 and was shocked!

After the race, we went to Gramma and Papa's for a quick visit. Uncle Dan, Danny and Sean were there too. As always, the little boys had fun playing together and everyone enjoyed some Del's! The first Del's of the season and Evan's first Del's ever! Once we came home, Bruce and I did some yard work while Evan napped and played in the yard. We rewarded ourselves with ice cream from the ice cream truck! Having kids allows us to be kids again!

Today, Evan's "girlfriend" Tara had the first summer BBQ. It was a smallish gathering and the weather didn't quite cooperate but we still had a good time. Evan was the life of the party, as usual, and he even took a couple of unassisted steps. He will be walking before we know it!

Here's to a great summer!
