Hot Dogs and Beer



















This weekend Carlito was surrounded by hot dogs and beer. He got to enjoy the fun part of a DC United soccer game - the tailgating - and also enjoyed a post-Cherry Blossom race BBQ. At the tailgate he got to kick the soccer ball around and tried to kick a puppy with little success. Anything that is on the ground he thinks is fair game to kick and that puppy was asking for it when he came to snuggle up next to the baby.

The Carloses didn't come out to witness it but I am very proud to say that I actually finished the 10 mile cherry blossom race. I've never been nervous about finishing a race before but given that it had been 1 year and a half since I had even RUN (!), I was nervous and planned my exit strategy at mile 5. The morning didn't start smoothly as I couldn't find my running shoes and had to put on three sports bras as a precautionary measure. But luckily the Nicolettis let me run with them which kept me going past mile 5.

On the house front we've spent the last 2 weekends trying to finish the front vestibule and come up with a plan for the back yard. Sad to say that neither one is done....But the baby loved being out back even if it is just dirt and construction debris...

Here is Carlito doing his version of peek-a-boo:


And here is my scream competition with the baby. Carlos says that I sound like a dying cat so you may want to keep the volume down:
