lots of picture below to catch up on the month! back to school means back to craziness, and the addition of herbie feels like we've added a 4th child at times (especially when i drop him and pick him up at doggie daycare 4 days a week).
the best news of all is that lyla is potty trained! while she's had some accidents, she took to it pretty quickly - it turns out m&ms work like a charm for pellegrini potty trainers. i am definitely not missing diapers or stinky diaper bins one bit!

| one month older |
 |
| our three goofballs |
 |
| jacks + bunny + livi |
 |
| the terrible two's are dragging on and on and on... |
 |
| mr. herbie |
 |
| the whole family was carbo-loading for my marathon |
 |
| oreo cheesecake was polished off in our motel room |
 |
after john and the kids kindly dropped me at the start at 6am,
they got some donuts (and coffee) to help them wake up properly |
 |
| don't they look thrilled to be waiting for me to run by? |
 |
| are they just the cutest?! |
 |
| you gotta wait just a few more minutes... |
 |
| i survived!! so happy to have the family their for support |
 |
| my post-race meal was delicious! |
 |
| me and my mini-me |
 |
after heading back home from the race,
i needed something sweet |
 |
while we do sometimes wait in line,
it is totally worth it! |
 |
we still make poor lyla share with us, mainly so
we don't feel guilty about ordering a double scoop |
 |
i get some alone time with this munchkin in between
school drop-off and sheila arriving on fridays |
 |
| my favorite part is that she's always in a good mood |
 |
our new home office...
and yes, i move herbie's bed next to me |
 |
| an unconventional diaper changing station |
 |
| lyla and her first pair of undies! |
 |
| the kids enjoyed our latest hear wave |
 |
| we even invested in a kiddie pool...it will probably be used once a year |
 |
| lyla now regularly asks to sleep in livi's bed |
 |
| herbie's favorite spot in the car |
 |
| her chuck-it skills are getting pretty good |
 |
| lyla loves to help the doggies get fresh water |
 |
| early morning playtime in golden gate park |
 |
| getting ready for work while lyla is sleeping and herbie keeps a watchful eye |
 |
| herbie was not too sure about the new family addition |
 |
| lyla at gymnastics class |
 |
| she looks like a natural, right? |
 |
| carousel time |
 |
| multi-tasking at dinner |
 |
| what goes best after pizza? |
 |
| herbie and one of his buddies at camp |
 |
| lyla's doing her chores |
 |
| uncle mike and auntie keet brought up some great kid toys |
 |
jacks first counted how many flips of the tire it took
to get to the other side of the yard |
 |
| uncle mike then started his own boot camp class |
 |
| livi responded well to mike's encouragement |
 |
| lyla is off to the park! |
 |
| she is such a little ham like her big sister |
 |
john led the kids on their second 5k
(which ended up being about 4 miles!) |
 |
| thankfully, it did involve beautiful trails |
 |
| lots of steps |
 |
| and even some reminders that we're still in san francisco |
 |
| while it did take over an hour, we hope they felt a sense of accomplishment! |
