Gearing up for St. Patty's day

Oh my, has it really been this long since I have posted?  Yikes!  My only excuse is that we are our usual tired selves, and by the time I sit down at night to attempt at a post, I am just to tired!  

We have all finally started to clear up from the persistent colds that have attacked this house, and the beautiful spring weather this past weekend really helped to get the windows open and the fresh air flowing!  Cassie has been busy with gymnastics and attending reading time at Barnes and Noble.  The twins are continuing to do their usual exciting fun things, although as you will see, little Brookie is getting closer and closer to figuring out how to crawl, and yes, Austin continues to enjoy just hanging out.

I have decided to finally make the commitment to getting back into racing, and have decided to prepare for a half Ironman race in June.  Although I am very worried about having enough training time with the demands of these little ones (or frankly just getting enough sleep!), I've been doing a lot of base training for the last 6 weeks to see if it is doable, and I think that it is.  With the beautiful weather this weekend, I had an amazing 10 mile run, which was really the deciding factor for me in racing, so I will keep you posted on the details as it gets closer.

Here is the usual photo update!


You know how much I love the comparison photos!

My big sister loves me SOOOO much! (please don't squeeze so tight!)


Sporting the bows from my Build-A-Bear



Yet another snow storm last week, dropping over a foot of snow on us, and yes, per usual, Cassie was BEGGING to go outside and play in it at 6:30 in the morning (and it was about 19 degrees out!)... the cold does not seem to bother her, I think that she was in need of her snow snack!


Cuddle time with the babies!



Our two big Sox fans!!!

Trying on some magnetic earrings to see if we are ready to get them pierced...soo cute!

Best of luck with the training. I wish I could find that kind of motivation!
And super cute babies and pics!
