Half marathon 3 weeks away!

Tim and I are running the Detroit half marathon on October 18th. He told me he would run with me before we had Cole, and well, I never dreamed he'd actually train for it. He has proven me wrong and is doing awesome! I ran just under 10 miles yesterday and averaged a 9 minute 12 second mile and Tim ran his today and average roughly about the same! We feel great minus a few sore knees and little aches and pains. We're following a training schedule and really haven't missed a day. It's so great to do it together, we really motivate each other and keeps us from being burnt out! Who's gonna win???

Mackie's first day of dance!

Mackie had her first day of dance last week! She really enjoyed herself and does awesome! All these little girls were crying and she just stares at them and yells, "Bye, Mom!" I'm not convinced that I'm a "DANCE MOM", but I'm loving her being in activities and enjoying all the kids!

Mackenzie 3 1/2, Jackson-2, Cole 2 months

I can't seem to flip this picture, but I think it's so cute of the three of them!

Mackie's such a huge help to me! She's the best little girl in the whole world! She's really grown up in the last month!

Our little Cole is getting so big! I just can't describe how much I love this little guy. He's an absolute blessing. He's just the best little baby to be around and so happy. He really responds to our voices!

Since Mackie's in school twice a week, Jackson and I really get some one on one time (yes, Cole is there, and just watches). I think it's so great for us! Jackson's always gone to Tim more than me, and I've really enjoyed our time together in the last few weeks. Let me tell you, we really pack in the activities while Mack's gone, just don't tell her that :)

Cole was taking a nap the other day, woke up and noticed Tim and me! I'd say he's doing a great job of holding his head up!

Our Mackie's in Preschool!

Here's Mack on the rug, where she sits when she gets to class!

Cole and Jackson while their sis is at school. Jackson really hams it up, huh?

Mackie after she found her bag hook before going in.

Here's Mack before going, we all helped her make her little tote that she had to have for school!

Mackie had her first day of Preschool on Tuesday and let me tell you, she was EXCITED! She was beside herself and did fantastic! She yelled, "BYE" as I was leaving and that was that! People asked if I cried, no way, she was so excited and I am just as excited for her. Now, when she goes every day, it may be a different story! Her first week was a success and she is so excited about all her new friends! Jackson, Cole are enjoying a little Mommy time to themself too!

Cole's Baptism

Jackson was lured with a little gum and finally stopped throwing a fit, so we actually got a picture with him. He loved walking back and forth during the actually baptism which was slightly stressful!

Cole's Godparents, Aunt Colleen (my brother's wife) and Uncle Remo (my sister's husband)

Cole was the best baby ever during the service, but once awoken got a little hungrey!

Jackson was currently throwing a fit, so he didn't make the picture.

We had about 30 people come over afterwards to celebrate the day with him. Tim and I couldn't be more thankful and blessed to have three healthy happy kids and we couldn't be prouder of them. It does amaze me on how unbelieveable babies are on their baptism. God watches over them and shows us he's hear with us!
