running here and running there

there has been a lot of running going on over here lately.  

like some serious running to the store to get more milk.  i bet you wondered how in the heck the above picture of oreos and milk fits under the title: running here and running there.  well, baby girl drinks the stuff like crazy and i prefer a soggy oreo when indulging in an afternoon treat.  and this all calls for a run to the store, walking just does not suffice. 

and then there has been another kind of running that's been going on that has made our hearts swell with happiness.  we have had the pleasure of listening to the adorable sound of feet pounding our wood floors and a wee one who wants the whole wide world to hear she can now successfully do this ridiculously fun thing called running.  with her arms up and stance wide, she runs her little heart out from room to room.  it is just so sweet to watch her squeal with delight when she hears me coming behind her, hoping to sneak in a tickle or two.  

we have also been running around town, hardly able to believe that it is in fact the middle of july {how did that happen!??}.  there is lots left to accomplish on our summer bucket list, so we've ran to here and there and everywhere to squeeze as much juice out of this sweet summer as possible.  this has definitely been a summer of doing and we have taken every opportunity to relish in its brilliance.  

and for those of you who don't fancy running, just remember: it doesn't matter how slow you go because you at least you are still lapping everybody on the couch.  ;)
