And as if a gift from god the sun came up this morning!!

It has been far too long.

We've been going for a while now. We are finally just hanging out at home and it feels so good. I finished the Portland Marathon in a decent time and am thinking about where the next one will be (anyone want to train with me I'm up for it). A few days later we went to New York to hang out with the Blattstein's for two weeks. Here are some updated photos. Jamie and I had a haircutting contest before we left. He cut Zeb's hair and I cut Zane's. I feel like I will keep my opinion of which haircut is better to myself.

Train ride to New York City!

That's right we've got our serious faces on and our corny shirts on and we are ready to rock our first day of preschool!!

Seriously took half hour to get all the necessary safety items on they were tired a half a block down the road.

Stayed home today (even though it was completely clear skies, like I think I can see the heavens clear skies and reaped the rewards)....the following is a conversation between Zane and I.
Zane comes running down the stairs "mom do you know what I'm doing?"
Mom: "What?" (he's running running running aimlessly)
Zane: "I'm pretending the little people are in my butt." running - bounding off the side of the couch while saying "aaaahhh oh it's wiggling" bouncing off couch "whow its smooching"
Mom: "You're doing what?"
Zane: "Pretending the little people are in my butt."
Mom: "oh, huh that's interesting"

Not little people as in "little chocolatiers" or "little people big world" rather fisher price little people! Just as a disclaimer.

And yet another.
Zeb says "mom do you know what he is selling (pointing to an incoming strutting Zane with a handfull of stuffed friends)?"
Mom: "what?"
Zeb and Zane in unison: "GIRLS"

aaahhh yah that is what we learn here at the Blattstein Academy! Pimpin 101
