Hey, this is the mother unit in Baltimore...actually, Benjamin gets very distressed when Christa calls me mom, cause I am not MOM, I am Grandma! When Christa says that I am her mother, then he will get upset and say, then I don't have a Grandma! He is the darn cutest kid, now more than ever! And he is so sweet! He has told me about 12 times today that I am cute and that he is so happy that I came to Baltimore to see him. I may never go home! I have never felt so popular in my entire lifetime! And he has thanked me, without coaching, for the toy a brought to him about 10 times today! I have never seen such gratitude out of anyone for anything! He has been WELL trained!! Maybe, I will just steal him while the kids aren't watching and bring him home with me!!! He is just SO DARN CUTE, AND I FEEL SORRY FOR ALL OF YOU WHO ARE NOT WITH ME!!

So about the Marathon, it is TOMORROW MORNING!!! All the training and sweat and sore muscles...all for tomorrow morning! If you want to watch their progress at check points along the way, you can go to www.thebaltimoremarathon.com to see how the race is coming for them. It starts at 8am here, so I don't think anyone will be watching that soon, but they have to wear chips during the race and so you should be able to watch their progress as they pass the different checkpoints. Me and the little guys are going to watch at about the 18-20 mile area. Hopefully we will get some pictures. There are alot of runners though. Anyway, it shall be an exciting day for all the Ivy Mount runners, coached by the illustrious Brigham Dastrup.

Well I went to that web site and didn't see anywhere you could track the race. In the "results" area I entered their names and it said it couldn't find any results. [shrug] ohwell. Be sure to give those 4 people hugs from me, and sneak in a couple extra hugs to the two littlest ones. Of course Christa should start calling you Grandma. That's what we did with our parents when our kids were young and it creates a lot less confusion all around. Let us know the results of the crazy race! BTW, I'm glad you made it to Baltimore...you didn't call me!!!!!

THIS GUY   has to be having a hard time right now in Utah trying to make a name for himself and selling his music given that THIS GUY has quite a musical history too and has more press coverage.   Some people are just born to have bad luck.

Lots of fun happening around here. Kiera going through daddy-withdrawls after steve had to start school again. Poor little lady. Kiera has started trying to draw pictures of people now (see photo above). Kiera has officially mastered the VCR. She knows how to work it and what all of the buttons do. (I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
