Ashley

What happened to my little baby??

Grammy

My mom had a "routine" gallbladder surgery with no issues and went home after about an hour in recovery. However, two days later she was in the ER with serious pain. She spent about 4 days in the hospital and they finally determined she had a leaking bile duct 😝thank GOD they were able to fix it and she is at home now. The recovery is going slow but she is  getting a little better everyday. Love you mom!!

Fairview Half

Whiterock Lake

I had a great run today around whiterock lake with a few of my running buddies. There's nothing like doing a loop around the lake in cool weather. 

Our Big Girl

Ashley is 2.5 already and is talking up a storm in both English and Spanish. If we call her name, she often responds "what". Really??? :) 

She's been a big help getting the house ready to sell. We pack a box, and she proceeds to unpack it. 

It's been really bitter sweet as we go through this process. We sold her high chair and packed up the pack-and-play. 

The Laclette's are MOVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guess who is finally moving????????!!!!!!!!!!! I hope I don't jinx us, but we finally have a contract on a house! We won't be moving in until late May, but we are super excited and can't wait.

HOUSTON- Sub 2

Well, I finally did it! I set a goal for myself to run a half marathon in under two hours, shortly after Ashley was born. Unfortunately, the last 3 races, I've come just short at: 2:04, 2:03 and yes, 2:02. So, close, but so far.. I planned on running the Dallas Marathon again this year supporting Scottish Rite and I felt really ready to beat the 2 hour mark. However, due to a major ice storm, the race was cancelled. Not to worry... I was registered to run the Houston half in January with a group of good running friends. We took a girls' road trip to Houston, and guess what.....?????? I DID IT! 1:57, in fact. Believe it or not, that's 5 minutes faster than my last PR. Picking up 5 minutes is a big deal! It was a perfect race day with clear skies, no wind, and perfect temps. The course was really flat, which I loved and the crowds were great! Hopefully we will run it again next year! Check Sub 2 off my bucket list!
