The Verdict Is In...

Well....I went to the doctor today and found out that I have Tendinitis in my right knee. I didn't pull my hamstring...as I thought. The doctor said this was a common ailment of runners. He told me I needed to stay away from running for another week =-( . I also have to take some anti-inflammatory meds and use a heating pad on my knee at night to speed up the healing process. My doctor said to prevent this from happening again, I need to make sure that I stretch very well BEFORE and AFTER my run. I have only been stretching AFTER and just warming up before my run by walking at a fast pace. It could have been alot worse....so I can deal with this. I will be SOOOO ready to run come next Wednesday. I can't wait!!!! This just makes me realize that I LOVE running that much more and I'm that much MORE determined to do it. Sara, Beth, Kelly, Valerie (friends from the gym) and I are planning to run a 5k race the middle of June, it will be the first of 3 we want to run this Summer for sure......so I don't have long to get myself back in the groove!

Ok....here's a few pictures...

This morning, Blake and I were doing our "homeschooling" session for the day. It is still going very well by the way =-). Our little Daisy follows Blake around like a little puppy dog when we are home. When he is sitting at his desk in his room doing homework Daisy is usually sitting in the window right up above Blake. I ran and got my camera and got a picture of it today. How cute is that! They're best of friends.... Here's a close up of our sassy little Daisy........she is growing up. She is almost 6 months old now. Ain't she purrrrrrrrrrrr-ty. ;-)

Jarrett also had a baseball game this evening. He was ready to play!! Here he is playing 3rd base. He regularly plays 2nd and 3rd.
Here's Jarrett up to bat......Go..Jarrett..Go!!!
SMACK!!!!
Here he is on 1st base.....
still going for 2nd....
and stopping on 3rd......WOO-HOO!!!!
Then another batter brought Jarrett on HOME!!! YEEEEE-HAW!!! He had a good game and it was just what HE needed after his last game.
Getting ready to go back out on the field. This was right after he scored his run....he knew I was taking a picture of him and he was determined NOT to smile. Silly Boys ;-)
Oh...and last, but not least.....here's Blake and his friend Trey. They play T-Ball together and Trey's brother is also on Jarrett's baseball team. So Blake and Trey get to see alot of each other and have become bosom buddies. They are both sooooo stinkin' cute!!! I couldn't resist adding these 2 pictures to the end of this post.....
Let me tell ya.....these two are Double Trouble!!! LOL!!!
I was totally off my mark with my weather forcast today. In my previous post I said it looked like rain today. It turned out to be a BEAU-T-FUL day!! We stayed outside most of the day, it was fabulous!

Ok...I gotta go so we can get the boys in bed. Michael and I are getting ready to settle into our den and watch a good ole' ScARy MoViE. It's called The Reaping...YIKES!!....I'll let you know how it goes....

Have a good night =-)
