Claire is 19 weeks old and is 12lbs 13oz.  She's getting really long and aside from her cheeks she doesn't look chubby anymore.  This week she started to give out her version of a laugh and it's pretty cute.

Claire and Jen wore matching outfits on Saturday morning.  How will I ever be able to say no to that face??  I'll find a way...


Jen and I have really been enjoying the deck.  We eat out there every night.


We had Brooke & Anne over for dinner and margaritas on Saturday night.  A good time was had by all.  Here is a photo of them from 2008 at their wedding.


Brooke is one of my old Norman Tech co-workers from the early 2000s and we hung out with him a ton back then and have been great friends ever since.

RECAP:

Aside from the photos above I was also sorting through all of our old photos this week to try and preserve them in a ditigal format.  We've got some great photos and I was laughing outloud while looking through them.  I was able to stain the deck and prime and paint the walls this weekend.  I didn't quite get to the trim work yet but hope to have that done by the weekend.

Jen, Curtis and I have a little competition going to see who can run at least one mile every day for the longest stretch of time.  Week one is in the books and I ran 23 miles for the week.  Competition brings out the best in us.  I'm still having some hamstring discomfort but I know that I just need to spend a few days in a row doing my maintenance routine.

After taking down some margaritas on Saturday night all of the sudden my armpits started itching really bad and then I was itching nearly everywhere and had hives all over the place.  My lower face started to feel numb and was a little puffy.  I must have had an alergic reaction to something and I just pray that it wasn't the tequila!!  I applied a bunch of Benadryl to nearly my whole body and was able to fall asleep thanks to the ritas.  On Sunday I was still very itchy up until around 12pm.  This caught me off guard because I've never had an alergic reaction to anything before.  I'll test out the margaritas again next weekend to see if I have a repeat occurance or if it was just a fluke.
