Last Week

I have been riding to work in a vanpool through DART for the last couple of months. I am a backup driver and last week the main driver was on vacation so I drove all last week. The 15 passenger van was in the driveway all week and Isaac loved the "big" van. He wanted to sit in it, so I let him and took a picture. Below is the photo. I also gave him a ride up and down the driveway. He really enjoyed it.

It was a long week last week with Regina's mom being released from the hospital after open heart surgery. There were lots of trips and Caleb and Isaac were at friends houses a lot and didn't get the best sleep. Below is a picture of a tired Caleb in the van.

Last weekend I ran in the dam to dam race in Des Moines, IA. It is a 12.4 mile run from the Saylorville dam to the Center Street dam in downtown Des Moines. My goal was to finish and I did. I only was able to train for 5 weeks and found out that isn't enough training but I made it. I even received a medal for finishing the race.

The last three days here have been very hot and humid, so on Sunday we got our little pool out and filled it up for some play time in the evening. The pool was pretty cold the first night, so Caleb was on the outside of the pool playing and Isaac and I were in the pool playing. Isaac and I enjoyed soaking each other with water and Caleb had fun grabbing toys and throwing them out of the pool. Isaac and I were in the pool again on Monday evening and the water was a lot warmer. On Tuesday Regina, Isaac, and Caleb played in it during the day. Below are some pictures.

Caleb grabbing the ball again, but this time he had his leg up on the side of the pool and was trying to get in. He had the side of the pool pushed down far enough that he was emptying the water out of the pool.
