I brought the play pen outside so that I could do yard work and not have to worry about Jessie choking on leaves. And as it turns out you don't need a yard if you have a play pen.   We went to the park with our neighbor friend. She doesn't know very much English, but the kids haven't even noticed.

I also ran my first race since Jessie with a my friend Dione. It was a 10k. We didn't do so hot (the first 3 miles were up hill). But we had a good time! We put lucky charms on our shirts, the race was a leprechaun thing.
