It is just so cold outside. I think I may have to start doing some running indoors in these approaching winter months, if I am going to hang on to regular runs until February. I have never been a fan (and that is putting it mildly) of running on the treadmill, but I think I am going to have to force myself to do it, even if it is just during the school week, when I have access to the treadmill. I will venture out on weekends, but that darkness that accompanies the cold during the week is a deadly combination for me and my growing belly!!

| so excited--a card that plays music! |
I am excited, as today is my baby's birthday. He isn't a baby anymore...he is actually the older of my two fantastic sons, but, (here comes the cliche) he will always be my baby. I cannot believe that exactly four years ago I was paining through labour with him (I am trying not to remember that part with the labour pain that is imminent in my near future). I cannot believe that there was a time when I didn't know him. From his first moments in our arms, he has been our little Elliott--cute, wise, and cheeky. He has spent countless hours out running with me in the BOB, and now holds "races" in the yard or the house, complete with the "ready, set--GO" and imaginary medals at the "finish line". He dances like his Papa, and loves cuddles with books. I couldn't ask for a better big brother for Milo. I know, I am proud :)

| Elliott and Papa--one day old in 2006 |
He ran out of his room this morning, and said, "Mama, is it really today? Am I really 4 years old?!" How can you not LOVE that?! He was so happy and proud, and I almost cried when I had to leave for work. Ah, well. He will still be happy and excited when I get home from work later today. I love you, Elliott!
I am hoping to squeeze in a run before dinner (we have already been eating cupcakes for days!) so here's hoping the wind isn't crazy this afternoon!
Happy (birthday) Running!
