Back in the day

I went over to my moms house today because she took the day off of work to go through some things for a garage sale. Abby was there with Sam too. We each made off with some of her stuff, including some old photos from when we were kids. I found this photo of me as a baby that looks so much like Amelie. Or, I should say, she looks a lot like me.

She didn't get to nap very well today. She seems to really enjoy her regular routine and today I interrupted that. She cried, actually screamed for about a half and hour straight. That's what she does when she is overtired. I got her to sleep finally in Abby's old bedroom for a little. While she napped I uploaded a bunch of those old school photos.

I really like this one. The best part, besides the adorable infant baby, is the matching jackets. Another really great thing about this photo is the look on my dads face.

This is a photo of my sisters and I at Minnehaha Falls. I actually have some memories of this day. Walking along the creek, sitting on the bridge that goes over it, climbing around on the rocks.

My favorite things about this picture:

1. My sweatpants. Just a little snug.
2. My haircut. I bet mom cut it.
3. The way we all seem to be posing. I wonder if mom just magically caught us like that, or if she situated us that way.

Yesterday I went to a boot camp class. It really kicked my ass. There was more than one time where I thought I might pass out. You know those little black spots you see when you have majorly overexerted yourself? Well, I saw a lot of them. Have you ever done burpees? Do you remember how to do them? If so, try and do a couple, a lot harder than I remember them being. Now try doing 50. I need sign up for that class. I'm sore today but it was so worth it. When I got home from my moms today I went for a 9 mile bike ride and now I'm nervous about walking tomorrow.

And now, a cute photo of Amelie. I took this yesterday with my phone. She was sitting on my lap.



Ok, I gotta add some of Sam too. That kid is so cute. He makes the craziest/cutest faces. He is definitely my favorite nephew.

These are from the other day at my house, see what I mean about his awesome faces. Awesome.
