Camping in Versailles Indiana

Saturday night we camped, tent and all with the kids for the first time. Well, they had a blast. They didn't mind sleeping outdoors at all. They definitely loved being outdoors. They didn't want to leave. Mom, however was looking forward to sleeping in her own bed by the end of it all. I'll include some photos of the kids. There were some huge fallen trees that the kids had a blast climbing on and they found lots of neat things such as frogs, lizards and fossils on our hikes so it was AWESOME in their book.

Go Girl Triathlon

On Saturday, I did the Go Girl! Triathlon, an ALL girl sprint distance triathlon. It was a blast. I was really proud of my effort. I made a top 3 finish overall and went over 2 minutes faster than I have before. I was in the second wave so my finishing time was 1:04.06. (swim 13:11, bike ~ 30 minutes-19.7 mph, run 18:06-6:02 min/mile pace. The top girl swam in the low 8's for the swim so I have lots of work to do in the swim.

Ian's First Day of Preschool

Well, today was Ian’s first day of preschool. His feelings about preschool have been mixed. He was excited to get his backpack on this morning and to be a BIG boy going to preschool. But, he had lots of tears for mommy on drop off so it was difficult to leave him. I had that horrible knot of guilt all the way home. Thank heavens that I know with time he will love it there. He is going to the same preschool and has the same teachers that Sophie had. I know he’s in loving and caring hands. His teachers said that he only cried briefly and was happy and content much of the time. He had a big smile when I picked him up, as you can see from the picture.
