Ten on Tuesday

1. I am back to trying to train for this blessed race. My first run back was in Abbey's neighborhood and it went well. My hip feels much better for about a mile then not so much. I have enjoyed my two outdoor runs this past week. I think I was in desperate need of vitamin D, even if the running was very slow going and still slightly painful. So today I went swimming, which was more fun, but almost died.

2. I finally gave in and bought Rowan longer pants this weekend. The pants he had handed down to him from Everett were long enough but still way to wide for Rowan's tiny waist. In good news when you go to buy pants in March they are marked down to three dollars a pair, which was a pleasant surprise at Kohls. He now is in 24 month pants that are slightly baggy, so strange.

 Check out Ro's crazy baggy pants!

3. On that same note Rowan had his two year doctor's appointment on Friday where we found out he is in the 30th percentile for weight and 66th for height. He is doing all the things two year olds should be doing and got one shot that didn't even phase him. He is getting bigger and talking up a storm, definitely 100% two years old.

 Rowan was pretty scared the whole time, but no tears!

 I love taking Rowan to the doctor because he is really cuddly the whole time. I can't get enough snuggles from this tiny boy!

 Of course we had to celebrate with some fun cookies afterwards!

4. After weeks of trying to earn the privilege of Big Hero 6, by not throwing huge irrational fits, Zane finally reached his goal yesterday and he was rewarded with his new favorite movie. As luck would have it we met Aunt Abbey at Target and spontaneously planned a movie night at our house so everyone could join in the fun. The Richard's had never seen it so it worked out nicely. There was popcorn, pjs, dancing, and lots of fun! No pictures somehow though, which is unfortunate.

5.Marty and Mary have been MIA for a few days and Rowan has been devastated. Today we finally got more bird seed. Rowan was so excited and helped me fill all the feeders. Here's hoping Marty and Mary get back soon.

 6. Today it was finally nice enough to spend the afternoon at the park. Zane found some boys his age to play with, which left little Ro lost again, continually with his eye on his Bobo! Rowan also mastered the huge slides at the Pirate park, all by himself.

 Zane also finally got to use his new parachute guy! 

7. Today we had another fun outing with Maggie and Grandma, this time at the Bounce N Craze. It was nap time when we got there, so things went as well as one could hope.

 Rowan mastering the climbing wall!

 These two played a lot of air hockey. Good times!!

 Oh and we might have eaten at Cow Calf Hay two days in a row, it's a good life!

8. Zach is currently in the middle of a very busy time at his work. This means that sometimes he has to bring some work home. This can lead to stamping fun on daddy's print outs. Yes, this was an extra page and thought it was a great glimpse at our life currently.

 9. We finally got our Roar-N-Run medals last week. They are hanging proudly by pictures of my sweet heart hero.

 I found the folder from Zane's first cardiologist appointment again this week. It has the diagram that showed all of Zane's different congenital heart defects. It also had the little piece of gortex, like the one used to patch his VSD. Zane looked at it for a long time and then joined me in a rousing version of "There is a Little Piece of Gortex in my Heart," a fan favorite in our house!!

 

10. Today our surprise Easter hats from Grandma arrived. Zane put his on and immediately started channeling Uncle Able, "Looking good ladies," complete with a wind and a gun. Seriously, I took about five pictures of him in this hat, all mid wink and gun! Rowan didn't leave his on very long, but trust me it was adorable. Thanks Grandma!!!

 

 Very cute without the hat as well.
