15 Months

More Bob and Jackie.

Bob, Jackie, and I went to an art show today on Las Olas in Ft Lauderdale.  Then we went to visit Beth at her store and then to eat a very nice lunch.  They are leaving to drive back to Chicago on Tuesday.  

Liam

I think Liam looks a little like me.

My Mom sent me this picture of me. I pretty sure it is either my first birthday or my second Christmas. They are only four days apart so we won't split hairs. Because "hairs" is the feature that is very similar in my picture and the picture of Liam. And to my Mom thank you so much for sending this to me. I love telling the story that I got so many dolls for my first birthday and Christmas that you put them away and gave me one every month. I probably made up the story, but I think it is right.

A visit from Bob and Jackie.

Bob and Jackie came to visit on the same Sunday as the race. I RACED home and started a Pot Roast. I also made this chocolate cake from scratch. Something I don't think I have ever done before. It's a great recipe from the "Smitten Kitchen" blog. The plate is a mess, but the cake was really delicious. It has a cup of Guinness Stout as part of the ingredients, so how could it be bad.
We had a nice visit and got all caught up with the news from Chicago and D.C.

Brett Runs a Half Marathon-2-23-09

Brett started running not that long ago. I will guess maybe last August-September. He finished the Ft. Lauderdale A1A Half Marathon in 2:40:43. He did better that his last month's run in Miami, so he was pretty happy. Beth, Jessi, Liam and I went down to cheer him on at the finish.

And then we went and had a nice brunch on the intercoastal
