Coming up for air

The past two weeks have been CRAZY!! Too much working and not enough fun. I wanted to share some pictures of Jimmy's first day of school. He is in the 3-year old class and goes to school on Monday, Tuesdays and Thursdays. On Thursdays he gets to take his lunch and stay an extra 2 hours. He LOVES it!





I really haven't taken many pictures lately. Here are a couple of Cecilia in her crib and the new bedding. Don't worry, we've lowered the mattress if anyone is wondering.! In less than ONE month she is going to be one year old! It has gone by way to fast. Although, she doesn't look too happy in these pictures she really is a sweet easy going baby. She just thought I was putting her to bed. Doesn't she know I was just trying to get her to pose for a picture?




It is now my favorite time of year in Savannah! Fall! The heat is fading and cooler weather is ahead!

The PROOF!

Some may have doubted that I actually ran a 5K so here is the proof.



My outfit is a little scary. It is a cross between "I want to be a serious runner" and "these are the only running clothes I have." The running shorts are huge. I think they were Jimmy's at one point, but they are comfy and I just discovered the little pocket on the inside to hold your key. GEINUS! I am so a BEGINNER! I did invest in a much needed sports bra , which fortunately you cannot see, but definitely kept everything in place. The dri-fit shirt was an on sale purchase so color choices were limited. My shoes, well, you can't see them, but they are sad. I wouldn't let myself buy a new pair until I actually finished a race or two.

This was at mile 3 and I figured that I might as well look like I am having the time of my life when what I really am thinking is "When am I going to get out of this forest and to the finish line? I think that I would rather give birth. How much longer? Maybe I made a wrong turn? Is 3.2 miles REALLY this long?" and a lot more other things that I plan to keep between myself and myself because we really had quite a few conversations along the way. Some of them went like this:

Me: I really want to stop and walk.

The other Me: Do NOT walk. You would be so mad at yourself.

Me: I am running so slow I might as well walk.

The other Me: You are still technically running and your goal was to run the whole time.

Me: No one would ever know...

The other Me: Just keep running.

and so I did. The other Me is so much more positive. Both Me and the Other Me agree that I should try it again in 2 weeks. Stay tuned!

Game Day and Play Day

Yesterday was like "Christmas" according to Jimmy. It was the Dawgs first game of the season. They got off to a good start with a win! I took Jimmy and Cecilia to the playground this afternoon because the weather was so nice! We met up with Eliza, Katherine and Mary Margaret.

I Did it!

In November of last year, I did a post about goals. You can read it HERE if you want. But one of my goals was to run a 5K and today I did it! I participated in the Run for Jane, a race benefitting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. It was at Fort Pulaski, a civil war fort along the water. It was a beautiful morning and the perfect setting. This was a trail run and apparently a little more difficult than a road race so I feel pretty good about my accomplishment. I finished in 34:05.

I have to thank my running partners Amanda, Lady Gaga, and Katy Perry for getting me to the finish line!

Bedding

I'm moving on from fashion to home. I just got new bedding for Cecilia's room. Sadly, she got the shaft when it came to doing the nursery. Since I didn't know what I was having I didn't think much about it. I was pretty convinced that I was going to have a boy and planned to use Jimmy's bedding which I LOVE so much that I didn't even really look at any girl bedding. Jimmy's bedding was "Froggy Pond" by the Gordonsbury Company. I love it so much that I contemplated using it for Cecilia too. Girls like frogs and like to fish, right?




I did have a cute Pottery Barn bumper and a white tulle bed skirt but I just didn't love it. I got this adorable bedding "Pink Bunny" by Little English and just ironed the bedskirt and can't wait to put everything on tomorrow! I have a white crib (Bratt Decor) and a yellow glider (Best Chair) and the walls are Pink Cadillac by Benjamin Moore.





I'll post some pics once I get it all together.

What is wrong with me?

Another fashion post. I know, crazy. But even more crazy, I bought another pair of shoes. Saw these in Terra Cotta (along with a cute jean jacket that was on sale) and HAD to have them!
