Continuing to Run

I stayed strong to my will to run and be ready for my 5K next month. Unfortunately, in Cuba you have to time your runs just right. Or at least the northern does. There were people running in the middle of the day with the sun beating down at 85 degrees. Coming from 58 degrees the day prior, I had some acclimation to do first.

MY Cuba Adventure

Welcome to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Where the weather is always hot and sunny. Keep in mind this is the Caribbean so 20 minutes out in the sun is like one hour in Virginia. Or maybe more because I was toast after the first day (more like burned lobster).

And it keeps getting shorter

We started this paper chain before the first of the year to count down the days until Daddy comes home. We have watched it loopty-loop from the window to the door and now to just one single loop. Sometimes LMA wants to wait 4 rings to take any off. Others he takes them off one at a time. With only 17 days left until he sees Daddy, we ALL get excited when one more ring comes off the chain! Guess I'll be making another one of these for the last leg of Daddy's tour. Thankfully, this next one won't be as long!

Silly glasses

We have a drawer in our house in the living room that holds our sunglasses. Somehow, these "glasses" LMA got from a birthday party made it into the drawer. At first when BBZ would put on a pair of sunglasses he would put them around his neck and call it a day. Now when he gets out glasses and approaches you, he lets you put them on, he walks around for a minute so you can admire him and his coolness, and then takes them off. In these? He just looks silly.

A day out with Mom

Ok, so it wasn't our first outing but it was BBZ's first time to Chuck E Cheeses. At first BBZ was a little overwhelmed, I mean who wouldn't be with an 8 foot mouse walking around with lights flashing from hundreds of videos game? Soon they both figured out what their favorites were and it turned out to be a good morning with my boys. I"m sure we'll be doing it again soon.
