Easter 2013

If you're interested, I have a few photos from my Easter weekend in Missouri to share:

 My longest friend and I went to Charleville for a catch-up session.  (It's both of our favorite winery in Ste. Gen.)
I was being weird & didn't like any of the pictures of us so we took one of our shadows.  As we were taking it, Jess said, "this is so much less pressure."  :)
Mom blew out her official birthday candles.  Yes, I say "official" because I was there, even though her birthday was a week earlier.

 We had two egg hunts (one at my parents' and one at my grandma's).  Here are a few snapshots:
Taking photos with a little one puts a lot of pressure on the adults.  How?  If you're behind the camera, you have to be silly to get the kid's attention.  If you're in the photo, there's no room for mistakes or looking bad.  You have to look good in every photo because the one where the kid looks good is the one that's going to be picked so hope that you look good too.
I love this photo.  It's in Grandma's.  Her famous cinnamon rolls are included.  It's 4 generations.  I think it's just my style.

 thanks for reading.  xoxo.

museum field trip

i've been doing really well on my field trip resolution . yesterday i hit up another one:  the chicago history museum .  it turns out it was a free day there, even though i was going to get in free anyway.  that means it was busy! which is fine, i still got to take a gander around.   I've never been to the history museum before so that in itself was exciting. probably my favorite part was when they talked about the world's fair in chicago (i can't remember the exact name).  the buildings were so much grander than i imagined them in my mind while i read, devil in the white city a couple months ago.  it was fun to see what it was really like.  and wow! there was also an awesome exhibit about workers rights and such. so it was a fun little excursion.

26 miles in 26 days

So the title isn`t exactly correct, but I ran a marathon yesterday and it was Melissa & my`s one month being here. But Caro helped me come up with the title and I thought it was catchy. So marathon #2 and a completely different experience than the one I ran last year in Chicago. Lisa Rottler Chamberlin is the name I ran the race with...I tried to sign up as Lisa Rottler, but it forced me to enter mom`s maiden name or i couldn`t continue with registration. the first difference I experienced this marathon in a very different way. In Chicago I was competitive I would say. It was on my mind since February of last year when I signed up. I was didigent about training and very serious about it. This year I signed up like 3 weeks ago and it was very last minute. Although, I ran like I was training for the marathon this summer in Chicago-that was 2 months ago. Last year the weekend of the marathon I rested. This year Friday night I went to my first quinceanera and got home at 4 a...

(details to follow) but as far as today goes...
