Life in the Fast Lane

Life has been moving at a breakneck speed for the Simons family lately.  Trey is going to hit 4 weeks old this week!  He’s doing really great on sleeping…I credit that to Laura’s genes and to BabyWise.  I would STRONGLY recommend all new or expecting parents giving this book a read.

Between trying to spend time with my family and a crazy last couple of weeks at work, my exercise time has suffered tremendously.  I did a triathlon this past weekend and had a blast.  The triathlon was in Sardis, MS.  It was this triathlon that was actually the first triathlon I ever completed back in 2001.  My time then wasn’t very good and my time now isn’t very good.  What is good is that I only got about 1 minute and 30 seconds slower in 8 years. 

We’ve been taking a lot of pictures for people lately.  It has been fun, but cramming it into our busy schedules hasn’t been a cakewalk.  We’ve got two more sets scheduled for next weekend and we’re looking forward to it.

Haley girl has been loving on Trey a LOT.  We were able to give him his first real bath this weekend.  Haley was a big helper.  I think she enjoyed the fact that she wasn’t the one getting scrubbed on.  She’s gotten a little whiney lately…I think mostly because she’s cutting her last teeth.  She’s nearly always got her hand in her mouth.  Poor thing.  Even so, she still seems to be having a pretty good time.  These long days have been great for getting outside as a family.  Unfortunately, the heat has already hit Memphis and it is almost unbearable until after about 7 p.m.

We got a couple of cute pictures of Haley this weekend.  A friend came into town and we had a photo shoot of her kids.  One of them is about Haley’s age and they got along GREAT.  It was so cute to watch them playing together.  Pictures are below.  In one of them, Haley was on a mission getting rocks and throwing them in the water.  It was SO funny to watch her running back and forth, working up a sweat and ENTIRELY serious about the task at hand.
