so much to do, so little time

my 'to do' list has been getting a bit crazy lately. i can't complain...all of the items are good things.
let me share a few of the items on top of my list...
- organize everything for sam's birthday. we are having a few small celebrations for sam's birthday instead of one big party with every friend and family member. on his actual birthday we are taking the family to see the harlem globetrotters. i am excited and hope sam enjoys the experience.
then, sam got to pick six friends to invite for a party at our house the following weekend.
- continue training for the sf marathon. i just completed the longest distance on saturday...11 miles! i am also thrilled to say that my feet are feeling fantastic. thank you stephanie, who was able to help fix my feet. i am also thrilled about the fundraising side of things...i have the most amazing and wonderful friends who have donated to help find a cure for blood related cancers. team in training has been a great experience. go team!
- get everything ready for the san francisco wedding fair at the four seasons. if you are a local bride and are free on sunday, january 18th, please come by and say 'hello'!

there you go...just a peak at my calendar.
here is a photo from a photo session back in december. this is the latest addition to the t. family. such a miracle!

8 miles

**team in training update**
i have decided to stick around town and do the san francisco 1/2 marathon instead of going out to new orleans. as much as i would love to visit my sister (a med. student at tulane), the first week of february is not a great week for dana to have a visitor. so, i will do the 1/2 marathon here and then go out to new orleans when she is not in the middle of midterms!
saturday was the first long distance training and i managed to walk and run for 8 miles without a problem! hooray!
fundraising is going well. i have to admit that i was nervous about asking people for money but it hasn't been so hard. i truly feel that i am asking for a whole bunch of people - for anyone who has had cancer as well as anyone who has lost someone they love to cancer.
go team!

mini session - sneak peek

i must start out with a big thank you to all of the very generous people who have given donations to my team in training campaign! thank you! you made my week! training is going well. i have been doing 2-4 miles a day. this feels like a good start although this is a far cry from my goal of 13 miles! have a great weekend! more adorable children from the marathon of mini sessions....
