Rainy Saturday
It was rainy and cold yesterday, and Paul needed some quiet in the house for study time. The kids and I headed to the library where Abby got her very own library card!! She picked out some books and movies to bring home. We lucked out and were there during storytime. Tyler surprised me and actually sat still and listened to the stories. At one point he did have to turn check out the cute little girl sitting on her daddy's lap.
After we had our fill of books, we headed across the street to the Children's Museum to see the Curious George exhibit before it is over. We had a great time, but it was PACKED so we didn't stay long. This was Tyler's first time there since he started walking and he was worn out! I think he fell asleep as I was putting him in the carseat. :)

Disney
Well, Abby and my Mom went to Disney with me this past weekend for the Disney World Half Marathon. The good news is that I FINISHED!!! I ended up walking the last 3 miles because of right knee pain - but I did it! Now I have a time to beat for the next half marathon! Thank goodness we visited Epcot on the day before the race, because I was walking no where after the race finished!
We started Friday off with The Princess Storybook Breakfast, which was great! Belle was the main princess, but many of her friends showed up as well. We spent the day at Epcot and then headed to the Inspiration Dinner that night. There was a ton of noise and Mickey & Minnie to greet us as we walked into the dinner. Ethan Zohn from Survivor was at the dinner - he is currently battling Leukemia. He ran the 1/2 marathon as well. The dinner was amazing - I teared up a few times listening to the survivors and their families.
My mom took Abby to Magic Kingdom on Saturday while I hung out in the hotel room and ordered room service (rough I know). I will get some of those pics up later.
Overall, great experience! My medal is beautiful! My knee is still sore, but recovering. Can't wait to do this again. I am so proud of myself - and hope that my daughter will see me as a positive role model as she gets older!
