Skinny Pants

We finally got the couch business straightened out. Here is the stinky couch. As you can see it has a very low back. We ended up selling it for a $100 profit. So it turned out to be a good thing,


This is beautiful new couch. I got it on craigslist, of course. The color is little darker than the picture. It's kind of beige with a hint of olive. It's very comfortable and it has 2 recliners. That's probably Keith's favorite feature. The best part it that the people we bought from have a really nice smelling apartment. Now our living room smells like vanilla. Mmmmmmm.


I can officially wear my skinny pants. Yeah! This picture was taken before I got to do my hair but it show the pants well. These pants are pre-Noah. It took me 9 months to wear them after Noah and this time it took only 6. I'm very proud of myself. I've still got 6 weeks of training left for the half-marathon so I hope to see even more improvement.



Today was an unseasonably warm day. It was so nice to be outside wearing shorts no less! It's even more funny because just on Tuesday we were taking Noah sledding after the snowstorm. Gotta love this VA climate! I'll have to post some pictures of Noah in the snow.

We went to the elementary school where I used to go sledding when I was a kid. It's a REALLY big hill. We sent Noah down the steepest part first. He was really digging it until he got to about the middle of the hill and then his facial expression turned to pure terror. I was at the bottom to catch him. He was going so fast that he knocked me over and we both wiped out. Nobody was hurt and he was laughing by the time he stopped. I will never forget that look on his face. It was so funny how quickly it changed.

I guess that's what is so enjoyable about sledding and roller coasters and other scary things that we enjoy. It's the thrill of having absolutely no control and no idea what the outcome will be. It's terrifying but extremely invigorating at the same time. Noah enjoyed it but did not want to do it again so we went to a less steep part of the hill where he went down numerous times. I have a feeling Noah will be a thrill seeker when he's older.

Those are definitely skinny jeans! You look great, I bet nobody would know you've had two kids. And you definitely just made me jealous, but then I have to remember I'm suppose to be gaining weight and not fitting into my clothes. I hope I can be as lucky and it only takes me 6 months. Oh and good luck with the half marathon.
