Running
One more note: I had no idea what it would mean to my boys to have a yard. I mean, we’ve always had some kind of outdoor space attached to our various homes and when I thought of my boys in a yard, I imagined them building little roads in some dirt pile and staying pretty much in one spot, so really, one yard is as good as another as long as there’s some dirt.
But this yard, a yard that is so, so, so much huger than any yard we’ve ever had, has really shown me what my boys could do with a yard. When the weather is nicer they might find a dirt pile, but for now they just want to run. And man, can they run. They go outside about every five minutes and they run and run and run. It makes feel really sure about this choice that I made when I see them out there.

Hey, wanted to tell you that you’ve inspired me to start Couch25K - a friend is hooking me up with some fancy schmancy running shoes and then we’re off, got a group of moms who are going to run together when we’re able to, and keep each other motivated otherwise. I’m stoked and every time I think about running I think about you! <3
