mother's day, michael's birthday, our race and ballet recitals

michael and the kids spoiled me for mother's day
i loved it

 i love being their mama

 
 sweet cards from the kids are my favorite

 working on olive's tiger costume for the wax museum
 michael is 34!
we took him out to lunch at a vietnamese place he knows
 and to fancy freeze


 we had a little bbq at home and some chocolate chip cookie cake 
it was a fun day celebrating michael 
 relaxing in michael's new birthday hammock
 sleepy after the bus ride home from preschool
 backyard baseball
 michael's parents got here
 a quick little date before michael and i left
 picking up our race numbers

 riding the shuttle up to our race
 ready to run

we did it! it was so hard but we kept each other going and talked lots and got through it
i loved training and running together
it was so good for us as a couple to carve out time together without distractions to talk 
 this was for you, jude! i now ran one after olive, eleanor, henry and jude
we'll see if i ever run another one
but at least jude got his :)
 nothing like girls in separate recitals on the day you ran a half marathon
it was crazy
a friend took eleanor to her dress rehearsal
and michael and i took hazel to hers right after the race
thank goodness his parents were here to help with the logistics
hazel the gorgeous antelope




 eleanor the cutest cuckoo bird






 the craziness of the day was worth it because we ran to paris! 
like, we left the next day right after our race
and because i love watching the girls dance
