Back from the beach

So we are back from the beach just about a week, and it seems like months since I was there!! Whats up with that? Needless to say, we had a GREAT time.

We escaped Cincinnati JUST IN TIME too! It was snowing so badly when we left that we had to sit in the plane for an hour while they de-iced us. But we did got out of town!

The day we escaped, Cincinnati was hit with over a foot of snow that closed the city down.. all the while I was running in the sun in shorts! Life is Good.

Last Saturday, the 3 of us entered our first 5k together. Well, we REALLY entered the 10k but Connor decided HE wanted to stop after the first 5k. So dad stopped with him and mom did the second loop and ran the 10k.

I guess the little guy needs to do some more long runs!



Now lastly, I ask you, specifically you women with children out there. Who (and WHY!) names their shoes? Connor's mom has started buying these shoes called "pedipeds"? Very cute shoes but they actually NAME the models. Yea, real boys names.. Andrew, Charlie, Conner (obviously spelled WRONG). So every time my wife talks with a girlfriend about the shoes, the conversations goes something like this:

"I bought Connor some Ethan's yesterday that are SO cute"
"I LOVE those. Have you seen Harvey and Jake yet? Adorable!!"

And there I stand just shaking my head.....

Peace.....

A family 5K -- now that is precious.

Welcome back! Sounds like a wonderful vacation. Great job on the family 5k run! I love that picture- what a cute hat on little Connor. :)

I noticed that some women's shoes are named too- and like normal, common names. It's weird.

Glad u had a great vacation! I'm counting down the clock, waiting for mine to start!

Love the pics too.

I have a 3 yr old, and I never heard of shoes with names, at least not where I buy from (Target mostly!).

Congrats on your great escape from old man weather. What did we Ohioans do to piss him off so much? Lol...and I'm looking at snow again this morning.

I have noticed this with shoes I've purchased for my daughter too. I'm sure there is some brilliant marketing magic at play here. Makes the shoes feel more personal maybe?
