The Family 5K

Pre-Race position - the warm-up.....

Just before the pre-race meltdown....

another shot of the racers.....the fans.

We had a great weekend! On Saturday the family completed the Franklin 5K at Night. We had committed to running the race awhile ago as a goal to start to get into shape. We began training after Heather and baby got the all clear to exercise. We bought a wonderful new jogging stroller and we were on our way. We train at a nice paved track near our house. The paved track keeps the ride smooth for Dalby. She rides in her car seat in the stroller, but still can get jostled around if we even walk on uneven ground. Actually Nashville has a few paved paths to walk/run, although we have only explored a few parks. Ryan has been in town this past week so training was a lot of fun as we could go out in the evening and walk/run. We went downtown Franklin Saturday night and as we got to our spot Dalby broke into a full cry (you can see the start of the meltdown in the picture of Dalby with our neighbors Alison and Kevin - who also ran the race). Well we just put her in the stroller and started walking before the race and she feel right asleep. She often sleeps during the runs/walks. Cousin Adam ran the race and you can also see the fans who were in attendance for the race (Aunt Jackie, Kristen, Ryan and Ryleigh(who, as always managed to stay awake and happy for the entire social event)). A good time was had by all and hopefully there will be another 5K that will allow strollers so the Luttenton family can run/sleep again!

How can this be comfortable?

This is a "normal" sleeping position. We often wonder how anyone can sleep like with their neck cranked way back - but we aren't going to argue - just as long as the family is getting their rest.

4AM Wake-up Call

Our little one likes to give a 4AM wake-up call. She even liked a 4AM wake-up before she was born. Often times while pregnant, I would wake-up at 4AM for no explanation and be awake for the day. Dalby will sometimes go back to sleep and other days be up until a nap. Who couldn't smile and enjoy being up at 4AM if you were greeted by these noises?

Some Bunny....

Mom and dad have a hard time not taking pictures after bath time in the cute animal towels......

I wear my sunglasses......

Sporting the shades..........looking cool!

First Topic of Discussion

A discussion with Dalby......the editing isn't that smooth and we had to break the video into pieces to get it posted....but the talking is fun to hear!

Clean as a Whistle

So the first bath pictures showed an unhappy baby at bath time. Well, while she is still not exactly sure what to think of bath time, at least most bath days there isn't all that screaming.
