Ran 2 miles with Holly at 14:00 pace (this is including walking breaks). She ran probably 90% of the time, which I think is just fabulous for someone starting to run for the first time ever. Then I ran 2 more alone at 10:15 pace. For someone who says she does not want to run, she is proving to be quite dedicated--or at least open to running often.
Holly and I went grocery shopping today. She is trying to teach me to cook more healthy meals, or at least cook a little bit. We happened to both be wearing skirts. Someone stopped us in the aisle because she thought we were LDS missionaries. Very flattering to be mistaken for a 21 year-old. (Especially since between the 2 of us, we have 8 kids!) Anyways, this sweet lady did not let the mere detail that we weren't actually real missionaries stop her from pouring out her soul to us and seeking comfort. It was enough to look like missionaries, in this case. I told Holly that we should bring BOMs next time. I bet we could place a few . . .
If anyone is concerned, little Adam is recovering well, although he does not sleep soundly at night. He can't really get his thumb to his mouth (he only sucks his right thumb, for some reason). I guess that is a side benefit of the cast, or it WILL be, once he has adjusted to no-thumbville. In the meantime, James and I are having our characters refined. |
