Mom visiting

So my Mom is visiting for N&J's upcoming fifth birthday. They went with me for the 5k race in Busse Woods this morning and climbed up a big hill about 200 yards from the finish line and were all waving to me and yelling my name, I did a lot better than I expected, 32 minutes as comapred to the 39 minutes I did last month (though was pushing the twins in the stroller that time).

We then drove into Chicago to go to Universal Sole to pick up the goodie bad and race number for the Lakefront Ten which is tomorrow. Unfortunately the streets are closed starting at 720am and race starts at 8am so I need to leave house super early to try and find a parking spot, race starts at Montrose and Simonds Drive in Chicago. The technical shirt they gave is amazing, it looks like a British Premier League jersey, very very cool. I need to take a picture of it.

We came home and all had tomato soup that A. made us for lunch and then I of course had to spend some time on my hammock which again was absolutely relaxing and wonderful. After that we did some errands, took care of grocery shopping and then went out to Jameson's Charhouse where we had a nice dinner.

Oh and we also spent a bit of time checking out Mom's room at her motel, the girls insisted that we go there.

It started raining a few hours ago and Mom says our grass is so green, but it still looks like all the seeding A. did has not had any results yet! Starting to suspect that the roots of these spruce treees just sucks all of the water away, possibly.

Thing seem to really finally be going well, oh and A. and I watched "Walk the Line" the Johnny Cash film last night, I saw about half of it and then went to bed, A. said it was good what was touching was after his wife died, he died about 3 or 4 months later. Some people really cannot live without their "soulmate" was what A. said. She then jokingly said I would outlive her and party in my old age. Yikes.
