Isaac and Mommy had a great day at the zoo!

Dave wanted to get some work done around the house, so we went to the Brookfield Zoo for a couple hours.  Isaac had a great time looking at the polar bears and giraffes.   He finally rode the carousel for the first time!

Isaac's Birthday Party

We had a small (late) birthday party for Isaac at Grandma Ternet's house.  Grandpa Ternet, Marna, and Great-Grandma Ternet helped us celebrate.  Isaac loved his cake and now has many new toys to entertain him this summer.

1st Camping Trip

We went on our first camping trip last night to San Clemente State Beach. Overall, everything went well, had great views of the ocean from our campsite over the bluffs. We're looking forward to our next trip to Sequoia National Park in July. Andrew even had a visit from the tooth fairy.

Timberwolf 5K (2nd in my age group)

Hey, I ran the Timberwolf 5K at the local high school on Saturday. I ran a good race and placed 2nd in my age group, my first time earning a medal. I guess there are some benefits to getting older.

p.s. I promise not to turn this blog into my personal racing journal (last race till San Francisco).

Denny's Surf City Marathon

Denny competed in the Surf City Marathon on Feb 7th. He finished in 3 hr 48 min, a new PR. It was a little rough in the last ten miles, and I was telling myself I'd never do this again, but like all good runners the misery quickly faded from my memory and I started looking forward to the next race. We're heading up to San Francisco this summer for a half marathon over the golden gate bridge.

Valentine's Day Snow!

Isaac and I had a great time walking in the snow in the backyard and playing!

Isaac's New Truck

Isaac got a Tonka Truck with Mega-blocks for Christmas from Santa.  He loves stacking up blocks and dumping them out.  He also loves riding it around.
