Mother's Day and all that good stuff...

This was a nice weekend. Saturday, Dan and I took the kids over to Lake Murray and did a 4.5 mile run, with a break at the playground at the halfway point. I have to say, it's really nice running with Dan. It's the first time that we've really done anything athletic together. For the first few years of dating, we always went to the gym together, but never worked out together. We've done a bit of biking, but that's really it. I like running with him, because, alone, I never really push myself past that 3 mile mark, but he motivates me to go farther.

ahem....mostly because I don't want to wimp out in front of him.

Later on, the UPS guy showed up at my door with this huge, heavy box. What could it be??? Well, let me tell you! My BFF, Jessica, sent me 6 bottles of Syrah from Orfila, a winery close by that we used to visit quite often before her move overseas. We have lots of fun memories from our trips there. I was really happy to get that box!

So, apparently there's some trick to uploading video...I don't know how yet, but I will soon be uploading Lola's rendition of "You are my sunshine", which she sang for me at her school for our Mother's Day luncheon. It was supercute. Anyway, to keep you happy while you wait, here's a picture of Elise doing my favorite little goofy grin. I'm a very lucky woman!
