For Mother’s Day this year we met Dave, Kathy, Zoe and Maddie at a restaurant in Cherry Hill. It was a quick but lovely get together. It’s especially great to see Maddie and for her to hang with Sophie and Lauren.

ULYC Spring Regatta 2018
Over Mother’s Day weekend we went town to Baltimore for the Union League Yacht Club spring regatta. The Townsends joined us for the weekend and we all stayed on the Sharp’s sailboat. The race was on Saturday and we ended up getting first in our category. Dave and John are the only two who actually know how to sail, so Crystal, me and the kids were all just weight that needed to be shifted every so often.

The fam before the Saturday night party. If only we could get a pic with all four of us smiling…
Sunday was Mother’s Day and it rained all day, but fortunately we didn’t have to go back out on the boat.
Mother’s Day 2016
After a week straight of rain the sun finally peeked out on Mother’s Day. We took advantage and did a little bike ride and picnic in a beautiful park in our neighborhood.
Me and my girls
A week before Mother’s Day I did the annual Philly Broad Street Run. It’s the largest 10 miler in the country with 40,000 runners. This was my first race since having the kids. And unfortunately it was wet and cold. But Dave and the kids were troopers and came out to cheer me on anyway! It was what got me through the first 6 miles and totally worth seeing their smiling faces and homemade sign (paint still wet). I finished in 1:33 and won’t ever run that race in the rain again!

A Day in the Park
The weather here has been amazing! Last weekend, which was Mother’s Day weekend, we decided to do a little picnic in the Azalea Garden, which is a few blocks from our house. Sophie loved running around with her shoes off and Benson loved running around unleashed.
Soph enjoyed swatting at the azalea bushes. You can see how hard she’s working by the tongue hanging out of her mouth.
