Another fun weekend :)

Congratulations to daddy! He ran a 5 mile race this morning and did a GREAT job :) I'll let him give the details later, but he finished in well under an hour which is great. Mom took me over and we got to see him twice - once at the 2 mile mark and once right before the finish line. He didn't see us at the 2 mile mark, though. The race wasn't organized so well and there was also a 5K that started about 20 minutes after the 5 miler started. And the 5K was a "Girls Run" which translates to about 500 10 year old girls and their moms. Well, that started about 30 seconds before daddy got to the 2 mile mark which happened to coincide with the start of the 5K. So he got stuck in a pack of 10 year olds who had no concept of space and couldn't see us yelling and waving at him and couldn't hear us with his iPod on. But we were proud.

Tomorrow, we're going to an Airshow at Andrews AFB. I hope it's not too loud, although if it is, mom said she'd take me home. Mom and dad got me ear protection to wear, but I really don't like it too much, so we'll see how that goes. Some friends of ours went to the show yesterday (it was only for people with DoD clearance yesterday) and said it was great.

I also have a pretty bad cough still. It's been going on for a LONG time now. Mom took me back to the doctor on Wednesday and there's still nothing they can do for me. I don't have a fever and it's not in my lungs, so we just have to wait it out. It may be allergies, but I'm too young to test for that now. I guess it's good that I don't have an infection of any sort, though. I'm getting much bigger and am now 16 pounds 4 ounces. We bought a "wedge" to elevate my crib at daycare and hopefully that will help me sleep a little better there. I move around too much in my crib at home to elevate that, so we'll just keep the humidifier on. I've also started rolling onto my tummy to sleep and that makes it a little easier to breathe. Even though "Back is Best," as long as I can get to my tummy on my own, I'm allowed to stay there.

We'll try to post some more photos after the show tomorrow. Mom's new computer is sort of up and running so it should be easier to post pictures now. Hope everyone is doing well!

Sydney,
Be sure to give your Daddy our love and lots of hugs and kisses, and our congratulations on his run the other day. We are all so proud of him and his efforts. Sounds like there was a bit of confusion with all the activities.

Grandma and I are hoping you can get rid of the cough - that has to be annoying to you, and I'm sure of some concern to Mommy and Daddy!

Hope you enjoyed the airshow on Sunday - will be anxious to see some of the photos!

Give all our love to Mommy and Daddy, and tell them to give you bunches of love, hugs, and kisses from Grandma & Grandpa Coble!

With all our love to you, Mommy, and Daddy, and some scratches for Razzy too!
