Easy To Jump Back In

Jason and I have both been surprised how easy it has been to jump back into respectable distances in running. Granted it has taken awhile to even get the desire to run again, but now that that is back, the distance isn’t much of a problem. I think it’s because we are starting slow, not [...]

New Photography Project

I know you are thinking, “Leah, really? Another photo project? But you have failed at all your other projects. Do I even need to remind you about the two (TWO!) failed attempts at 365?”

Ok. Fine. I start lots of projects and they somehow get lost among the 8,001 other things I have going on. This [...]

Super Fun Baby + Another Week of Running

Do you realize how fun a 15 month old is. Lucy laughs all the time for seemingly no reason. She thinks the weirdest things are *hilarious*. She is so much fun to watch and play with these days. She’s into *everything*, blabs all the time (every once in awhile we realize she says something real). [...]

Then and Now

I know Lucy has changed in the last year. That’s obvious. But I was just looking back at old pictures, and it’s amazing how different she is!

Growing Like a Weed + Actual Running

Lucy is now 15 months old. When the hell did that happen? We had her well baby visit yesterday and she’s good on all fronts. 32″ tall (95th percentile) 22lb 11oz (50th percentile…happy to see her put on some weight) and 75% in head (she must have gotten some of Jason and some of me [...]

A New Running Life

Look over there on the right and you’ll see that its’ not 0 for the week or the month. YAY. Small. Small. Teeny. Tiny. Steps.

I used to be able to run 3 laps around the ring at Fermilab. Sometimes I would do that run at like 2 in the morning. Ok, so what. So I [...]

Finding My Way Back to Normal

Wow. That was a rough two weeks for me. Maybe I’m getting old (I am) or smarter (that too!) but I just can’t do the 4 hours of sleep a night. Maybe once, but when I do it I am just a little bit more than a puddle the next day. I can’t do it.

In [...]

Pull Here. Pull There. Where Am I?

It’s really fucking tough having two professional people in a household and a baby. Not tough. Almost impossible. I mean I suppose that is the definition of tough…but I just want to make sure we are all understanding what level of tough I’m talking about.

Just an example. When Lucy gets sick she gets a fever. [...]

The End of an Era

Well. Lucy is weened. 100% done.

Holy crap.

Do you know that she will be a year old next week. I found out I was pregnant at the end of March last year, so really for the past 20 months or so I have in some way been physically connected to her. Lucy has always been more [...]

That Was Not a Fun Night

For those of you that followed my twitter/facebook deluge of posting last night know that Lucy was up vomiting most of the night. This kid has *never* been sick and so I’m a little out of sorts. I went into her room to check on her as she was making some noises which usually just [...]
