Some pictures to look at :)


Well I guess this is the price I pay for my love of running. I went running this past Saturday eagerly because I had not had a chance or the desire to exercise all week because Esther had been really sick. I don't need to say how difficult it can be with a sick baby. Most of you know. So while I was happily running along on a hard dirt trail at the college next door to our apartment I fell. I don't even really know how. All of the sudden I was lying on my knees wondering what happened. Anyway I told myself I was okay and kept running even though my legs hurt. I got done and came home and cleaned up and now today, a day later, here are the results of my fall. Painful but not too bad. :)

This is little Esther sleeping in her crib with her cute little church socks on. She has recently learned how to roll over from her back to her stomach, which is wonderful. Unfortunately she can not yet roll back over to her back. Since she has learned to roll onto her stomach she is preoccupied with it and does it all the time when she can and then of course she gets mad because she can't yet get back to her back. So at night she'll wake up winning wanting to roll back over. At first I would get up and go put her on her back only for her to roll onto her stomach a little while later waking herself and me up again. Finally I realized I needed to just let her sleep on her stomach in order to let her and myself get some sleep. So now thankfully she has settled with sleeping on her stomach. Phew!



These last 3 pictures are of a praying mantis Micah found on Saturday outside our apartment. He thinks that it looks really cool. It's kind of weird looking too.

Ouch! Those battle wounds look brutal. Sorry Esther's been sick! That stinks... I hate it when Jenna was sick and couldn't breath through her nose while she nursed.

I wish you lived close so we could run together. I need friends to motivate me. Hope the wounds heal fast.
