A wonderful father, husband, and runner! I love you.

So the Avs ended up missing the playoffs by one point. Who could have guessed Edmonton would have helped them out? We almost didn’t tune in for the last game of the season, and it was a doozy. The Avs smoked the Flames, it was awesome. We won’t bother watching the playoffs, we’ll just hope the Red Wings knock Calgary out early.

It snowed Easter Sunday, so we hid eggs in the front room for Elijah to find. It was the cutest thing ever!

My in-laws are coming to visit next week. It’ll be wonderful to have company. I hope the weather is nice for them. But they’re just happy enough to spend time with the boys. Oh and us too.

We’ve decided not to participate in the Cherry Creek Sneak this year. We’re okay with that, maybe we’ll do it next year. I am looking forward to cheering Geoff on at the Bolder Boulder in May. I want to try and find a cowbell to bring along. Not only do I get to cheer for Geoff, but the whole Joneses family are doing the race too. You know the Joneses, they have us over every Thanksgiving.

I’ll close with a quote from Payback.

Fairfax: No, no, it’s all right, he’s just killing my alligator bags and shooting holes in my suits. Man, that’s just MEAN. That’s MEAN, man.

Avs won last night, and Calgary lost. Now if they both can do that two more times…

We got two movies out of the library to watch, Flushed Away, and Flags Of Our Fathers. I’ll be sure to let you know how we liked them once we watch them.

The boys are doing alright. Each day has it’s (or is it its?) own challenges. Yesterday had some rough moments, so Geoff made my favorite for dinner. I’m pretty lucky to have him.

This weekend it’s supposed to be chillier than it has been, with highs in the 40’s (as opposed to the 60’s and 70’s). So I don’t know if the little ones will go running with Daddy. I just hope for no snow on the ground on Sunday, so we can hide eggs in the backyard for Elijah.

The baby’s awake, I gotta go. I’ll close with a quote from this week’s House.

House: I’m looking for a vacation spot.
Dr. Chase: That mean we get a vacation?
House: How would that differ from your current status?

Birthday wishes to Doug, Alec, Geoff and Kevin. All the best for 2007!

My doctor’s appointment was fine. My body is back to normal. I expected as much.

I don’t think I have that much to share. Most of the news I know is about other people. I talked to Lexi yesterday. She’s settling in nicely at school. She wants us to come to NY to see her, but I don’t think we’ll be able to swing that for a while. She’s hoping to get enough points to come see us in the fall. Which is great, because fall is the earliest I want to even think about more visitors. I’m looking forward to the guests we’re getting before our trip to CA, but then I think we’ll need time to recover.

I went to the Trails last night and walked 20 minutes on the track. People talk about the weirdest things in the locker room.

Have any of you been watching Planet Earth? It’s very visually appealing. It’s even better if you can catch it in HD.

Finally Apple has done what I wanted them do forever ago. You can now “complete your album”. If you bought a song (or songs) off an album, you can now buy the rest of them without duplicating the tracks you already own. Genius! I so wanted them to do this, and it is offering me until the end of June to buy albums from my purchases over the last 4 years. I looked over the list, and there is really only one album I want, and it’s being offered to me for $8. Pretty awesome.

I gotta go feed the baby. I’ll close with a quote from Good Will Hunting.

Skylar: Maybe we could go out for coffee sometime?
Will: Great, or maybe we could go somewhere and just eat a bunch of caramels.

Not much. It started snowing Wednesday night, and all day Thursday. But it’s not a big deal to me, it’ll be gone soon. Just a few inches. On Monday Kirstin, Niamh, Kieran, Amy & Caley came over. I always like when Elijah gets the chance to play with a boy. Caley mostly played by herself. They only stayed an hour or so, but it was nice to have company.

I get to go to the doctor this Monday for my 6 week check-up. I’m sure it will all be fine, my delivery went so smoothly.

I went to the Trails last Friday and walked/jogged for 20 minutes. Then I went again Wednesday night and did the elliptical for 20 minutes and burned 210 calories. I’m only 4 pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight, and 8 away from my goal. But really, my weight isn’t what bugs me, it’s all the stretched out skin. As Geoff pointed out, I need to cut myself some slack. Hello, I just had a baby 5 weeks ago.

With the Oilers out of the playoffs, we gotta root for the Avs. They are 7 points away from getting in, and they’d be there already if it weren’t for Calgary winning their games too. Boo Calgary! If the Avs don’t make it, I probably won’t bother watching the playoffs.

I’m gonna close with a quote from Never Been Kissed.

Merkin: I’m just a little tense. This whole office is not Feng Shui. All the desks are facing evil.

Angryalien.com does Spiderman 1 & 2

Just a quick post so y’all aren’t worried about me. I’m feeling much better, got a clear sign from God regarding what was stressing me. Though Geoff thinks the stress and my lack of sleep had manifested into the physical pain I was in on Sunday night and Monday. But Tylenol made that go away Monday, and today I feel fine.

I’ll try to write more later. Gotta go run some errands.

I’m feeling tired, and a little stressed. I’ve got some stuff weighing on my mind, but I’m not in a position to deal with it right now. But given what other people I know are going through, it’s small potatoes. I’m going to pray for clarity, and for rest.

Last night I went to the Trails, and got on the elliptical for 20 minutes, burned 170 calories. Not nearly enough to work off the Fatburger we had for dinner. Heck my chocolate milkshake is 880 calories. But the meal was fantastic. 🙂 The point is, I got off my butt and went to the gym. Now I need an iPod to make going to the gym more fun.

Speaking of music, the new Michael Bublé album comes out May 1, and iTunes released the first single Everything on Tuesday. It’s not bad, it’s more pop than jazz. We’ll have to see what the rest of the album sounds like. If iTunes was offering me the chance to pre-order the album, I would have bought the single that day.

Nothing else is going on. Just same old stuff. Trying to keep on top of my correspondence, and trying to sleep as much as possible. I’m gonna close with a quote from last night’s episode of Lost.

Locke: The man from Tallahassee? Is that a code?
Ben: No, John. Unfortunately, we don’t have a code for “there’s a man in the closet with a gun to my daughter’s head.” But apparently we should.
