5K Run Completed!






Yea!!!! Rodolfo and I woke up bright and early this morning (5:30 AM) and went downtown to join 16,000 other people running the OKC Memorial Marathon. We participated in the 5K run and completed it without having to stop to walk (my first time to run this far since before I was pregnant... I know it has been a while!)! I'm so glad that we did this event. Every year we see the runners pass by on Classen Blvd and wish that we were with them. And today we were! Man, it feels great to get up and workout. It was pretty cold and misty/rainy but it was invigorating all the same. Next year, if we are not pregnant again, we want to attempt the 10K!

Georgia has stayed with my parents this weekend so Rodolfo and I could run this morning and also attend a charity auction this past Friday. We bought the painting you see in the picture above. Since I'm a big fan of roses this seemed like the best item to bid on. There was also a helicopter ride above OKC to see the lights at Christmas being offered but it went way out of our budget.

Other news, I wanted to place links to some of the places and things that I really enjoyed on our trip to Carmel. They include: http://www.cottagerestaurant.com/ which is a delicoius place to eat breakfast, http://www.carmelsbest.com/ an italian restaurant that we enjoyed. Then, here is a link to a lady who makes bracelets that I just fell in love witH

Finally, of course, the Bernardus Lodge, http://www.bernardus.com/, which I highly recommend for anyone who wants to take a romantic getaway.

Wally, Happy Birthday!








Wally Waldorf Astoria Molina turned 4 years old on April 19th. The fam came out to help celebrate and eat some Waldorferiferious cupcakes. We cranked up the player piano and had a good ole' time.
As to Georgia, she is growing fast. She has been singing a lot lately. She really enjoys brushing her teeth. Just this evening I caught her trying to brush her teeth with the plastic scrubber I use to clean the pots and pans in the kitchen. It was pretty gross, but I guess that is what happens every now and again with babies... They experiment without regard to clean vs. dirty. I also caught her about a month ago trying to stir and then drink the water from the toilet. Isn't that lovely? She laughs a lot and likes to run through the water while Rodolfo or I am watering the yard. We've also had fun looking at all of the flowers that are in bloom. Our beautiful tulips came out again this year, but due to the wind and rain they didn't get to shine as majestically as they have at other times. Still I caught some nice pictures. I hope spring lasts a little longer because today it was almost 90 degrees!!!
