There is a smell in the air that only comes when sun is just over the horizon in the early summer mornings.  The smell is that of satisfaction that you are about to enjoy a morning run  If I could assign a color to the smell it would be "spring green".    The smell takes away the resentment I had for my alarm that was blaring 10 minutes previous.  The smell tells me it will be worth it.  For 6 weeks I was walking out the front door and smelling that smell then walking crest-fallen to my car for the drive to gym.  I would pout every time I would see somebody jogging.

Thankfully 2 weeks ago (I started this post 2 weeks ago) I was able to start running again.  IT IS GLORIOUS!!  I am sort of obsessed with running.  Morning runs are awesome and I am so glad to be back and not pouting every morning.

In other news, today a new couple in our ward invited us over for dinner.  Charlotte needed a diaper change, so I took her into the bathroom.  After I cleaned her up and went to grab the diaper, she quickly  rolled over and stood up.  I was getting the diaper laid out and asking nicely for charlotte to lie down.  She looked me in the eye and started peeing on their rug!!  I was shocked and started saying, "no no no."  She smiled really big and finished "juicing her lemon"(as my MIL would say).  OH MY GOODNESS!  I was so embarrassed.  As I rolled the rug up, I realized this rug was brand new!  I had to walk out and tell these people..."uhhh so sorry, my baby just urinated on your rug." Oh and by the way thanks for inviting us to dinner...bet you are glad you did.    

We had a birthday month in July.  I really wanted to do a super sentimental post about Rich and his 30th birthday.  But it is 11:30...I gotta get to bed.  I will sum it up with this.  RICH IS AMAZING and he is 30!

Charlotte was perfectly willing to dig into the cupcakes on daddy's birthday and emphatically said, "mo mo mo"  while doing the sign for "more".  On her own birthday she didn't want to eat cake. It figures.

 Pin the tail on Rich.  (I didn't get a pic of the kids playing)

 Charlotte turns 1 and I turned 28 on July 9th.

Charlotte and her birthday loot.
