So Much

I didn't realize I hadn't blogged at all in May.  We had one major event.  Jay turned two and boy oh boy do we know it!  He has fits at the drop of a hat which is doubly bad since he doesn't talk and we don't really know why he's having a fit.  He doesn't like having his haircut at all but he loves being read to.  He's also quite the dancer!  Jay is pretty good the majority of the time, especially at daycare.  He had one bad day a few weeks ago, but it seems it was just the one day.  (Miss Marcia, the daycare person, had said all of the kids were out of sorts that day and they had just gotten two puppies the week before.  I didn't envy her at all!)

Enjoying our birthday supper!

Mmmm....nachos!

Happy birthday apple cake!

I have started back at work and have actually put in some full days.  I haven't put in a full work week, but hopefully that will change with this next week.  My section lead is on vacation until mid-July, so I am temporary lead while she is gone.  (Originally, we were told the busy season would be over by the end of June.  They were wrong on that one!)

We've been dealing with rain on and off for several months now. Our back yard is nothing but a swamp right now.  Jay loves playing in the yard because of all the mud though!  He also loves drawing with his sidewalk chalk on the driveway.  He's very possessive of his chalk and he and I went to Fareway with it.  The checkout lady was very nice and was able to get him to put his chalk in a small brown bag.  He likes to play outside, so possession of his chalk is a minor obstacle.

I've started running.  Yesterday I ran 2.8 miles.  I'm trying to work up to 3.1 miles so I will be able to run the 5K Color Run in Des Moines.  I've been running at Ada Hayden park so I've gotten some small hills to deal with as well.  Jason walks with Jay while I run and they have a pretty good time.  The first time we went Jay had to stop and play in all the water puddles, watch every car and person go by and look at every flower.  They didn't get very far.  The second time they went around the small loop, but it took some effort to concentrate on walking.

I'll have to try to keep up on this blog better.  Time has just been flying lately
