What a week this has been!! I've spent more nights in a hotel room than at home! But we're back home and not going anywhere until 2009! Just a quick little update since it's late and we're all very tired and need sleep!!
Monday I left for NY to have my amnio done. All went well, not the most pleasant thing, but overall okay. I'll find out some of the results on Tuesday at my OB appointment. Wednesday I flew home. Thursday was home getting everyone packed to leave Friday morning.
Friday morning we all headed off to Missouri for Cross nationals! Arrived in time to watch a friend of ours race, and got Keith's registration packet. Kids were cold and annoying, so we headed to the hotel instead of letting Keith preride the course.
Saturday brought warmer weather, but windy! Racing was fast and fun to watch! We'll have pics and videos up in a few days. Keith did great considering he was competing against top pros as well as other guys his level. Tough field! He finished 51st out of 55 finishers. 9 did not finish. Kids played in the pool at the hotel, mommy too! The pool was an indoor outdoor one, but it didn't have anything to close the outside section. It was VERY chilly!! I jumped in and played with the kids in the outside and inside part. Then went to the hot tub to warm up a bit. Keith stuck to just the hot tub...can't blame him, smart move!
Sunday was nice and warm 60 in the morning! But by 10am it had dropped a TON! I'm talking dropping 30 degrees!! It was winter brutal cold to watch the pros race! We got to the race course and watched the pro women (and our friend racing again) and had to head back to the car to find our long underwear and toe warmers to use! Got warmed up and watched the mens pro field. Was still freezing, but the kids were running all over the course watching from different spots and trying to stay warm. Great racing!! It was cool to see all these pros you see in movies and read about, and you could see them in real life! If it was only warmer, it would have been more enjoyable!
Race ended and off we went to home. Finally arrived at 9pm after having to drive a bit slower due to ice and snow on the highways here in CR. Unpacked the vital stuff and tossed the kids in bed. Now it's our turn!
