The many faces of Addie

The last few weeks have been busy - is there any other way to live? Not in the Jacobs family. Grandma Jeanne has been over to see us, Rick and I ran a half marathon, we traveled to Pacific City to see Great Aunt Patty and Great Uncle Dave, Rochelle came to town and I had a bout of food poisoning while Rick was working out of town....Yikes - what a busy last three weeks. Addie is almost talking to us, lots of sign language with opinionated statements. Adalie is still doing really well going to sleep around 7pm and sleeping until 6am. Her favorite food as of the moment is watermelon and maybe her honey nut O's. She is not much for mac and cheese or peanut butter sandwiches but put a bowl of coconut seafood curry in front of her and she's a happy girl, messy but happy. The new house is still amazing - it is very efficient and the running trails around the house are great.







Sugar sugar sugar please












Thank God the finish line is in sight!!!!






Happy fourth of July to everyone!

Beautiful Zion -

Zion is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. It is truly a place of relaxation and breathtaking landscapes. The pictures don't do it justice. If you are ever in the area "Oscars Cafe" just outside the park has great breakfast burritos and "Pizza & Pasta" has some of best pizza and beer I've tasted to date.

Next stop Vegas

Sunday, after the bay to breakers, I flew to Vegas for a work conference. I missed my little family so much, thankfully Nita was also attending the conference and met me in the lobby after I got in for a night cap. On Monday, Rick and Addie had made it to Vegas (they drove from San Fran). The conference was good, the weather was blah and the strip was way to consumer driven. Our best night in Vegas was a beautiful run out at Red Rock park (10 miles west of the city). It was amazing, we went running just before sunset and the colors of the desert floor and drastic red rocks were brilliant. I think even Addie was impressed. Next stop Zion -
