On the Road Still


That title may be a little misleading considering the fact that we're not technically on the road at this moment, but we did roadtrip it up in October. We spent a weekend in Columbus, Ohio celebrating baby Gavin's blessing with the family. It was a great weekend after the brutal cartrip to Columbus (imagine nonstop rain, traffic, whiny kids, and one controlling side seat driving wife all of which made for some "tension," if you will, between Evan and I). There were definitely better pictures than the one above but I couldn't resist showing how extremely photogenic my children are. If you look closely, you'll know exactly what I mean.

Here are my parents with all of their grandkids. I had to post this one because a) Colt and my mom are matching and b) my parents look so darn happy. I think it's safe to say there are no pictures of my parents with us when we were little enjoying themselves this much. I'm going to try and not read too much into that fact.

Our second roadtrip was to Indianapolis for the big races. And yes, I'm counting my 5K as one of those "big" races. It was big for me people, so it counts. Here's Evan and our friends, Katie and Dave, after running 26.2 miles (a serious form of torture if you ask me). Since I had finished my pathetic 3 miles a good 3 hours before, I didn't feel right posing with the runners during this photo. I just don't think that my makeup and showered self would have shown all I had truly suffered. Speaking of suffering, Evan has now lost FIVE toenails. Ew. We are this close to enforcing a "you must wear socks to bed if you have missing toenails" rule.
