So yesterday my friend (Kelley) and I participated in Girls with Gears. It's a fundraiser event to raise money and awareness for women's heart disease... and they do this by sponsoring walking, running, and biking events. Yesterday was their largest event, which was a biking event. You could choose from 10, 25, 40 and 62 mile long bike ride... through rural Montgomery county (in Pa). We did the 40 mile... and only got lost once... so it was great. The weather was beautiful and it was a GREAT day. We definately did NOT set any landspeed records, but finished in just under 3 hours and had a great time throughout the ride. Here are some pics of our fun....

Brandywine Valley Duathlon...
April 5th officially was the start of our race season (for Scott and I of course). We participated in the Brandywine Duathlon, held at Hibernia Park (in Coatesville, Pa). We did this race last year and it was a tough but good first race of the season. At least this year it was NOT raining like the last, but it was still nice and chilly to start off the race (at 8:00am). But we are happy to report that both Scott and myself did GREAT. Scott bettered last years time and he was happy how he felt when he crossed the finish line. Me on the other hand, was just about the same as last year... but the BEST part was that I won second place in my division!!! For the FIRST time ever I was on the medal podium!!! So, overall, the race was GREAT... and now we will be starting training for our "big race", an olympic distance triathlon this summer (with MANY other races before and after it of course...). And EXTRA special thanks goes out to "aunt Erin" for spending the day with "the gals"... so that mommy and daddy could go do their race!!!!

The Riding Reedells
It's sooo funny when Angela says, "mommy, I can't clean up I'm training for my triathlon"... of course this is while she's running circles around the house... tooo cute for words!!! We are looking forward to when Angela is age 7, and then she'll be able to compete in the "kids triathlons"... if she wants to of course!!! So, until then they'll just have to hang with mommy and daddy!!!

The swingset is up....
... not quite finished yet, but at least now the girls can get out and play on it. The swingset was delivered last wednesday and it came in about a million pieces... The HUGE and HEAVY boxes were in the garage, which is good and bad. Good because it's cedar so our garage smells fabulous... bad because Scott had to park in the driveway... But now we are making ALOT of progress... and "all" that is left is to put the roof on, build the picnic table, install the "windows" and chimney.... and stake the whole thing down. So, we are more than half way done and it fits PERFECTLY in the only "sort of flat" space in our backyard... so here's a pic of the swingset, from piles of wood to what is done as of last evening (sunday, april 5th)....
