Oh, running

Well, 4 miles was on the training schedule for today and.... whew! That really sums it up :) My right shin is wanting to give me some problems but I fought through it today. Hopefully that didn't do anything too terrible. Tomorrow is a rest day, so maybe by Monday I will be good to go again!

Avery's walking is really getting GOOD :) I do have a video from about a week ago when she first started taking more than a step or two, but it is almost 9 minutes long. I am still trying to figure out how to just take a minute or two to post, but I am obviously a huge dork and can't figure it out! Fingers crossed, video to come soon!!

UPDATE

I know it's been a while since I've posted anything, we've been having some computer issues but now we are back in business!!! We surpassed Ayden's one year anniversary with no issues. He was released from his social isolation that we have been under forever, and now is enrolled in school!!! We are so blessed!!! Avery recently started taking her first steps which is very exciting!!! Since my last post I have decided instead of doing the Cowtown race that I would join Team in Training. This is an organization that raises money for the leukemia and lymphoma society. With everything we went through with Ayden, I just felt like I needed to give back somehow and help others. My race is a half marathon in May. So that means I will be running 13.1 miles!! Crazy, huh?!?! I am very excited and nervous all at the same time. Please visit my website through TNT and donate anything you can. It is all tax deductible and the money raised goes to help families with medical bills and research to help find a cure!

A couple of weeks ago we had family pictures made by Chunky Monkey Photography. They turned out so great!! Thanks Heather!!

Happy New Year

I'm very excited about what this new year holds for us. We are quickly approaching the one year mark for Ayden's transplant and Avery will turn 1 in a few short months!! I have so many resolutions this year. I have decided to go ahead and knock out a couple fast, so.... I have decided to run in the Cowtown 5k. I've always wanted to enjoy running and participate in races, not to mention the other resolution was to lose the rest of this weight before my princess turns 1. I'm just going to kill two birds with one stone. Now that only leaves me with being more frugal and reading more. I think I'll start with the "Total Money Makeover". I can say that I'm already being productive with my time! Now if I can just get some more pics posted :)

So.... I've decided to blog!

Well, I'm not 100% sure what I'm doing! A couple of my friends blog, and I thought it might be fun. Plus I thought, I've got pictures and videos of my kiddos that no one ever sees. So this might be just the thing for friends and family to keep up with Torres'.
