This is Joshua's first time to play an organized sport which we are thrilled about. When we signed Joshua up he was as well. Game day came filled with excitement, a uniform, cleats, and photos. For some strange reason Joshua just didn't seem himself. He attributes it to being tired. To his defense he is getting rid of his nap and getting up early. All that to say, he kept telling us he was tired and didn't want to play. Just when you think you know your child well enough, thinking he would be aggressive and have so much fun. This is all new for us as well as for him. I guess we need to put ourselves in his shoes because he didn't know any of the other kids on his team and he has never played an organized sport. We are hoping it is a matter of getting his feet wet and loving it. We'll see what next week brings. The funny thing was Dylan wanted to be on the field more than Joshua did and was disappointed that he didn't get his chance.

Baby Steps 5K
Last weekend Scott and I ran a 5K. I guess you can say I have been training for it. Trying to run at least 2-3 times a week. Not exactly my idea of fun considering Scott enjoys running marathons. It is good to keep in shape though isn't it?
We ran in the first annual Baby Steps 5K. The proceeds from the race go to the Amelia Center which is connected with Children's Hospital. It is a grief counseling center for families/mothers that loose babies. For those of you who don't know or remember, Scott and I lost baby Iann at 19 weeks in the womb. This was definitely something we were wanting to support.
The race took place at Tannehill. The weather was good, not too hot. The surroundings were beautiful and the trail wasn't bad. It's been a long time since I've run outside so I know I will definitely do better the next time. Yes, I did say the next time. I really enjoyed running 3.1 miles and look to better my time the next run. I'm not sure when that will be but I'm looking forward to it. I highly encourage getting out there to run or walk. We all could use the exercise.
