On the Go!

Typically, our lives are about as exciting as drying cement, yet somehow incredibly stressful. I am not sure how that combination coincides, I just know that it does. Josh has completed his second year of Medical School, and on June 10th he took the first step of his boards. This is huge for us! and finally, it allowed us the opportunity to breathe a little. So, we have been playing like crazy the last few weeks. Here are some pictures from our many adventures.
We went down to Chicago to pick up and drop of McKenna, Josh's sister, who came to visit. We were able to site see a little, and visit Lincoln Park Zoo, which is right downtown. It went surprisingly well, since I pretty much plan on every outing we venture on to be a train wreck. I think that we all had fun though.
We have spent lots of time at the pool here at our condo. The boys are crazy in the water. They absolutely love jumping in, and as you can see, I've got them outfitted such that I dare them to sink!
We visited Lake Michigan a few times. My boys love throwing rocks into the water.
Our last big adventure before Josh gets busy again with his pediactric rotation was a little trip that we took to Madison. We left yesterday, and thanks to the kindness of Margie, a work associate, and friend, we were able to spend the night in a beautiful condo, and then Josh and I ran a 10K together while she watched the kids this morning. She even took them to the farmer's market. They bought strawberries and cheese curds, and Margie kept telling Will that it was indeed cheese, but he thought she was crazy, because cheese doesn't look like that.
The race...so, as I mentioned earlier in the week, I have been sick and the thought of running a phlegm filled 6 miles was just not appealing, but I decided to be tough and just do it. Josh ran it with me, and I'm thankful he was there. Thanks to him, I was able to run the race about two and half minutes faster than I ran the same race last year. I feel pretty stinking good about that since I'm still all plugged up. Yay, us!
