13 days of April

It has been a busy April thus far. Ryan's mom came to visit from the 4th through the 8th, and our friend Kim came from Michigan to stay with us at the end of the week. Molly and I drove to Austin to pick up Kim and spend a night with her there.

We spent the weekend with Mary Lynn eating and looking at homes. She likes to see what home values are like in different parts of the country.

This is Kim at the water gardens in Fort Worth.

Kim and I ran a 5k yesterday. She set a personal record by several seconds. My goal was to break 30 minutes, and I missed it by 1.2 seconds! I think it was my first race in four years, so I'm not too disappointed. I'm just glad to be getting in shape again.

Molly is busy pulling herself up to standing. She loves to stand by our red armchair and the dresser in her room. She stands up in her crib when she awakes. When we are on the floor in her room she'll crawl to her crib, pull herself up, and play with the strings that tie her bumper to the crib.

She also is a good eater. She has been eating several kinds of baby food lately: mango, papaya, chicken and vegetables, and apple blueberry.
