I seriously could look at those pictures over and over again. Mason is becoming such the little man these days and Taylor is changing all the time. Next week, I'll be sure to post an update.
For the past two nights, I haven't slept well at all. Funny that it started the first day of my official training for my half marathon. It's been the same dream over and over again. Basically it's about not training properly for the the race and when the day finally arrives, I barely can run 2 miles.
Everyone says that running is mostly mental and I completely agree with them on this. I used to be an avid runner, but only ran because I enjoyed it. I still enjoy it, only now I'm running for a reason. Motivation isn't an issue for me and actually my first day of training went very well. Once I got into my groove, it felt like old times. It was as if I reconnected with a long lost friend.
The challenge for me is finding time to run, when Adam is out of town. I have been looking for a a double jogging stroller, just don't know what to go with. So many choices and did I mention that they are pretty costly? I've looked on Craigslist, but usually only see single jogging strollers listed.
I also haven't forgotten about my cooking challenge. I'm in the process of trying to make a menu for the year. I'm spreading it out so that I don't feel too much pressure and not to mention that my husband would like to be home when I do most of the cooking.

Okay I had to butt in here. You don't know me but I have been following your blog for awhile. Our boys are the same age and Taylor and my youngest son are just a few months apart. I found your blog via Lauren and Blake's blog via Adam and Andrew's blog. Anyway, long story but your kids are adorable and you have the cutest family! I saw you were training for a half marathon, I ran two this past fall, one in September and one in November. For me it was all about getting back in shape after having my 2nd son last May. I made the goal to complete a half when I was still pregnant with him and so I researched forever on a double jogging stroller because like you I knew that part of the running would have to be with my kids. I ended up getting the BOB double stroller. It is AMAZING and though it is costly I have already gotten my money out of it. I have ran with other strollers and no other stroller would have allowed me to run 10 miles so effortlessly (well if 10 miles is ever efforless:)) while pushing my kids. Most strollers are alright for 3-5 miles but this one is amazing all the time. I highly recommend it. I am not a big spender and I rarely buy things for myself but I am so glad that I chose to pay the extra for this stroller. I know there are times when you might find them on craigslist or ebay. One of my friends bought a BOB single on craigslist and it looks brand new. If you have any other questions feel free to email me: carepemberton@hotmail.com or you can check out my blog:) Take care and keep posting, I love to read!

Hey Tabaitha- loved your Christmas card! Such cute kiddos! We also have the double BOB and love it. I haven't ever used it for jogging- I'm not a runner- but love it for walking and going over other uneven terrain. It steers like a dream and so much better than plastic tires. It is wide (same width as a wheelchair) so sometimes it is hard to get through stores when shopping. Good luck finding what you need!
