One of Ezra's favorite people in the world is Mo-Mo. Logan and I know him as Homero. He's the guy who cuts our yard. He also does quite a bit of work for our neighbor across the street so he is there several times a week and it's usually in the afternoon when we get home from school. I don't know what it is about Homero but Ezra loves him! I snapped these the other day when Ezra was shouting out "Mo-Mo, Mo-Mo, Mo-Mo" as he watched him from our front window. Yesterday Ezra and I went for a walk and Ezra fell asleep towards the end. As I lifted him out of the stroller he woke up and immediately starting pointing and saying "Mo-Mo." No, not "Mama" but "Mo-Mo" were the first words he spoke. I wonder if Mo-Mo even knows how much Ezra adores him. Funny little guy.

I completely forgot to post these pics taken over the Christmas holidays. Ezra & his cousins. I loooooooove these! Can you tell how fast Ezra is here? I feel like that's the story of our lives these days....always chasing Ezra. :0)

Oh how we miss the cousins and wish we could see them more often!

Ezra & His Girlfriends

77 Miles!!!!

My incredible husband ran 77 miles this past weekend at the Rocky Raccoon Trail Run!!! We are very proud of him!!! He was shooting for 100 but we think 77 is still pretty darn good. How many people do you know that can run 77 miles? Just one for me. I have a whole new appreciation for his running now. I ran 15 miles with him towards the end and it was very, very difficult. First, there were the tree roots that you try to avoid. You had to look about two feet ahead of you the entire time or you would bite it. (I did twice.) Add to it that you are running in the middle of the night. The only light you have is from the moon and your head lamp and flashlight. There is some pretty good elevation in some parts. And oh ya....he had been up for almost 24 hours, most of which was spent on his feet moving. Next time you see my hubby be sure to tell him that he rocks!

Amazing!
