Labor Day recap

It's time for a little weekend recap!  I hope you had a lovely long weekend!!!

I went back to Missouri for the weekend for some family time and a very special lady's baptism (my niece).

Here's a little glimpse, if you'd like to see:

*The playground is fun when you're with a 2 year old ;)



*Family photos, on the other hand, can be a bit challenging

yep, that's charlie on the trampoline

 *I completely peaced out from technology.  My phone sat in my room all weekend.
It was lovely.

*My sister-in-law's family and my grandma came over for a BBQ Saturday night.  At said BBQ, Charlie had some homemade ice cream and a bit of cupcake and he started running around our table (we were in the patio area outside).  He ran around that table taking brief stops to be tickled for approximately a half hour.
I am not exaggerating.  It was amazing.  I laughed so hard.

 He stopped when he had to go potty.  And this story is pretty awesome too.
Jeff:  Charlie, let me know when you need to go potty.  If you don't, you're going straight to the bath and you won't be able to play anymore tonight.  Ok?
Charlie:  Yeah.
Charlie continues running, Jeff begins to doze off (being a parent is hard work).
Charlie:  Daddy.
Jeff:  jerks awake Do you have to go potty?
Jeff jumps up, grabs Charlie, and runs inside to the bathroom.

*Charlie was my yoga buddy Sunday morning.  He killed happy baby pose (much better than me!).  :)

*Callie had her baptism :)  She was so good!  She only giggled when the priest poured the water over her head and didn't make another sound.





 *Jeffrey did complete the ice bucket challenge, a video does exist, but Jeff isn't willing to share it.
I got to dump the bucket.  :) 

*I ran a lot of hills.  
Apparently my IT band loves hills...
One run, I was on one of the highways, which was having a major yard sale and they put up a traffic sign (you know one with lights) that said, "Use Caution.  Next 20 miles.  Heavy Traffic."  Haha. 

Aaaannnndddd...the Cardinals took first for the first time this season!!!!!

I love four day weeks and I am so excited for this weekend!!!  Friday consists of a half day work/half day retreat and then it's time to head to St. Louis for LOUFEST!!!  One of my very favorite weekends all year :) 

With that said...if you are in Chicago this weekend...go to Renegade!  I only wish they were on different weekends, but they're always on the same weekend.  le sigh

Fall Fun!

We could not have asked for better fall weather this weekend.  70 degrees.  Sunny.  We just wanted to be outside the entire time.   We went for runs and decided we needed to spend even more time appreciating the fall foliage, which apparently will peak in two weeks.  So two more weeks to enjoy!  We checked out a new to us restaurant.   Then we took a trip to Grant's Farm, which neither one of us had been to since we were kids.  And neither one of us remembered.  Capping off another day spent outside. Monday I hopped on my bike to get to work and my body felt tired from the fun of the weekend.  I looked out my window at my desk and saw so many beautiful leaves, I took a photo on the walk back to where I park my bike. P.S. Yes, I got a new job!  Hooray!  A more detailed update is coming.

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...

Lake Recap

Yep, it's recap time from the week my family and I spent at the Lake . My parents rented a house and a boat for our family for the week.  We were around mile 24 for those of you who've been there before. Dad, Mom, Jeff, Greta & Charlie all slept in the guest house so that meant... Karen & I had the whole main house to ourselves.  ;)  (If only we didn't disagree on the temperature so much. I like it warmer than her).   That might be a bit of an exaggeration.  We had the whole place to ourselves, unless someone wanted food, hang out in the living room, do laundry, etc. We pretty much relaxed the whole time we were there.   We were out on the boat at least once a day. Karen & I are ready for a day on the boat! We got in some tubing and skiing.  (No pictures exist of tubing, but it happened.  My scabs from the cloth burn just came off at the end of last week.  And just ask Karen.  She was sore.  We all were.) ...
