Wow, I just realized that I never finished my non-sports post...oops. Since my
last post in March (that wasn't just about sports) a lot has happened. It looks like I forgot to mention it last time but my "little" girl N turned 2 in February. A couple months ago she decided it was time for potty training and, after a rough couple of days, she is doing awesome. She still proudly announces when she's going to go to the bathroom and again when she's done. Every time she returns from a bathroom with one parent she makes sure to go tell the other parent "I did it!" She moved to her "big girl bed" for a couple weeks or so but now spends most nights in her crib, although sometimes she'll want to sleep in her bed. Actually, the past month or so she has been sleeping in her pack-n-play when we sleep in the basement because it is so much cooler down there.
I had one and two month post-surgery appointments for my LASIK and I'm happy to report there were no issues. I'm still seeing between 20/10 and 20/15 and am loving it. I don't really have any issue with dry eyes and I rarely need to use the eye drops. I love playing softball without having to wear contacts and need to get out on the golf course to try out my vision.

In April I celebrated my 36th birthday and a few weeks later Angie turned 29 (again!) L turned 5 on May 22 and I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that I have a 5 year old. This past weekend we went shopping for her school supplies so I guess I have a little over a month to get used to the fact that she'll be in kindergarten soon.
Last week we went to Seattle for Angie's brother's wedding. We had a great time seeing all the Van Voasts and the wedding was right on the water in a town called Olalla.

After the wedding festivities were over, we spent a few days in Seattle doing all of the typical tourist stuff. We took the monorail to the Space Needle and spent some time looking at Seattle from 520 feet. As much fun as the Space Needle was the highlight of the day for L was getting to honk the Monorail horn with her cousins on the way back to the hotel.

I've been in quite a few cities that have the Duck Tour but I've never tried it before until last week. If you're not familiar with the Duck Tour it's basically a tour bus that drives on land and water. We drove around Seattle a bit, boated on Lake Union for awhile, and then did some more sightseeing on land. The driver is of course over the top silly and tells jokes the entire time but played a lot of music as we drove around and it turned out to be really fun. I definitely recommend it and will probably do it again in another city.

Now that we're back home it's time to enjoy the rest of the summer before school starts in mid-August. I've still been trying to run 2-3 times a week but it's sure getting hard now when it's already in the 80s at 10am. I am still holding off on signing up for the Denver Rock'n'Roll half marathon in October because I'm not 100% sure we'll be in town that weekend.
I'm going to try to post more often so I don't lose my 3 readers! Angie and I are going to try to do a "recommended water intake" challenge starting today so I will post updates on that. Have a great day!
