Half Marathon
Well, so far Allison and I are on track in our half marathon training. We did our first long run last weekend (1 hour) and ran 1:08 today. We both ran twice during the week as well. So far, so good!

Lucy
Lucy is heaps of fun these days. She is a total daddy's girl and LOVES her time with Vaughan. She is attempting to say more words like "hi" and "up please" (sounds like Uh bbbb). She says "du du" for any bird and "uff uff" for dog or other dog like animals. She can say daddy and momma clearly and mimics lots of words and sounds. Today she mimic baby for her little doll, etc.
She loves spending time with her cousins Ethan and Gabe as well as Allison's children Soren and Ruby. It's fun to watch her with other kids. They don't really play together but they seem to keep busy trying to be as a busy as the kid next to them! Lucy enjoys trying to do whatever Gabe is up to! (Gabe is thee and half.)
Lucy has been sleeping better at night. She generally goes to bed at 7:30pm now and sleeps until somewhere between 5:30am and 7:00am. She still wakes up one time at night, normally at 3am. She is just about weaned and we only do one feed, in the middle of the night. We walk Lucy to sleep most nights in the pram.
We went to the gym this past Saturday for the first time in about 5 weeks. Lucy was sick one weekend and then asleep all the other weekends! Her mid day nap is now at around 11:30am. She has fun on the tramp, slides and balancing on things.
Half Marathon
Fall running weather is upon us so Allison and I are going to do a half-marathon on June 22nd. It is called the Capital Harbour City Marathon and it winds itself around the bays in Wellingtion. We are 9 weeks out and did our first long run today (one hour). My goal is to finish without walking or injury, no real time goals. Up to now I have been running 2-3 times a week at no more than 45 minutes at a time. Running is great thought, I can do it with Lucy and I get the most bang for my buck fitness wise. We have a great running pram which keeps Lucy warm and dry not matter what the weather.
The Mayor deserves Re-election

The Grass is Always Greener...
when it is growing in your yard! All Vaughan's hard work has paid off and our lawn is coming through! We planted at just the right time as there has been heaps of rain lately. Yeehaw!
The Mayor Builds our Mailbox
Vaughan has built our mailbox! So, in addition to being a grass grower, fence builder, IT geek, Ironman triathlete, my husband and all around great dad, he is now a brickie! Various neighbors (mostly WIVES) including the neighborhood kids stopped by all weekend to admire his work and check out the box. I've dubbed him the Major of Riverstone.
Our neighbor has given us a cool piece of granite to put on top of the bricks. SEND LETTERS AND PACKAGES NOW! : )
