So now that I am somewhat rested from the weekend...Congratulations Kimmi for a great half-marathon and to Kris and Abre for another full marathon under the belt! Kris, Karmann and I got up at 4:30 am Sunday to drive over to the Florida Coast for the Melbourne Marathon. The weather was absolutely perfect for the day. It was chilly and a little overcast in the morning, but once the sun came out, it was still cool, but beautiful. Karmann was a trooper, as we went back and forth to the car when she wanted to eat, and she cheered Kris, Kimmi and Abre on at the finish line! After the race, Kimmi's mom invited us over for an awesome Thai lunch with their family. Karmann had a great time there too! But, we had to leave before Daddy fell asleep on the couch, and I almost did too! But we made it home safely, fed Karmann again and then crashed till the evening, and then went back to bed early.

I'm headed back to work this afternoon - starting week 2. I hope that this week is as smooth as last week. Karmann went back to speech therapy on Friday and there was much improvement! She weighed 9 lbs. 9 oz. (with a little onesie on) so she gained about 12 oz. in about 10 days, which is really good! So, we scheduled a follow-up for three weeks, but may not need it. She sees the Pediatrician at the end of next week for her 2-month check-up (already!) so if there's any issues, we can deal with them then. Karmann doesn't know it, but she'll be getting her shots at that appointment. I'm not looking forward to my little girl getting poked with needles, but I will be glad that I won't have to be as cautious about taking her places in public! We'll still be cautious, of course, but won't have to be paranoid. She is definitely maturing and growing! She is even starting to smile and act like a happy little girl! Its not frequent enough or on-cue yet, so I haven't got a good picture yet, but I hope to capture her pretty little smile soon!
Enjoy the photos!
