kin.

with all this baby talk and show & tell,
i don't want to leave out
my boston loves, the haucks.
picture perfect family!
that's slim's big sis heather & her husband john 
and charlie, claire & baby james.
is that not the most adorable baby in the world?!
i can't wait to get my hands on him soon!
omg. this is the most amazing picture of claire.
she sure can work a leotard with some attitude.
brotherly love head massage.
 
i even love baby james when he
wears boston paraphernalia. 
it's tough, but i try to look past it.

opening day.

it was the most perfect opening day in all of baseball land!
slim & i hit up the sold out 1st game of the season
with kathryn & brian and free foam tomahawks.
fired up & ready to chop!
right before some fighter jets flew over... 
very patriotic & a bit red.
braves loving baseball boys.
man, that outfield is HOT!
it's going to be a great season. GO BRAVOS!

grateful baby.


with a few days off of work for passover,
 i spent some quality time with my buddies sarah & lucas. 
seriously, this kid gets cuter by the minute!
lucas, so effortlessly cool in his dancing bear onesie.
we went to the park & filled up on vitamin d.
i just love this little man!

best to you & zelda.

rock/creek river gorge run.

for the 4th year in a row we ran the
rock/creek river gorge trail run in chattanooga, tn.

the trail was just as i remembered,
steep & hilly & uphill and
as always it was super muddy.
we stayed in super sweet old house.
this was our bathroom- this tub was gorgeous, although
this was all the action it got all weekend.
we woke up & hit the trail!
slim ran with his mom, carolyn.
my girl sarah & i ran together- it's so much
better/more fun running with a friend!
kodak moment alert!!
slim & carolyn smiling as they finish 6.5 miles.
loved having a big group to run & play with!
way to go everyone- so proud.
slim got this post race pic of our muddy sneaks.
after the race we hung around town, 
hit up some shops & took in the chattanooga vibe. 
b & his bacon deviled eggs.
the paparazzi spotted us.. 
raffy found some catamount cheese. rawrrr.
we kept with our tradition of stuffing our faces
at the deliciously cool chatt-town pub, urban stack.
the whole crew post burgers & shakes.
