A Weekend of Several Firsts

We had Sarah and Jonathan in town for the weekend and I don't think they could have picked a better time to come. The weather was absolutely perfect and we took full advantage of some sun and sand. 

Awe, happy couple!

Our neighborhood beach behind our house.

Cousin Ryan came to play

He he, love this outfit! Grady's first pair of boat shoes!

All tuckered out on daddy's chest

We decided to run in our first marathon ... the .05 K Bridge Run. Nope, not a typo. It's literally .05 k - a quick run over the bridge that connects Annapolis and Eastport. The best part about this run is that halfway on the bridge there is a hydration station, and then a pub crawl afterwards to celebrate. I seriously LOVE where I live. They even made a map of the bridge, you know just in case ;)

Notice the guy with the cane!

So, we "stretched" our arms with a Corona before the big run at Boatyard.

And we "cooled down" with some pain killers at Pussers.

All proceeds this year went to a local girl battling leukemia. We felt pretty good about our athletic/philanthropic afternoon!

Sarah, of course, entertained us with her social mishaps in Dubai, and Dave was in Shades (his alterego) form too. Needless to say I'm a little sore this Sunday evening - not because of the marathon, but because of the laughing! The only thing that could have made it better was if all the family was in town. We'll save that for the Baptism in two weeks ;)

Grady had a few firsts this weekend of his own. For one, it was his first trip to downtown Annapolis. It was a big hit! He liked staring at all the big boats and sailboats.

And...he rolled over all the way on his tummy by himself. I don't know whether to be excited or so nervous that I need a Zanax! He has been rolling over on his side for a few weeks now, but I caught him on the video monitor at 5:00 a.m. rolling right over onto his tummy. Lord this is going fast! He has his 4 month checkup this Friday and all bets are he weighs 16 lbs now. Big baby boy! I'll keep you posted!

XOXO,
