How about a picture story? Ok... here you go:
As you know, we are running the Vancouver Half Marathon in May...so heidi is beginning to run and I am doing nothing...
Getting ready...
We are used to running in the rain....mostly because we are beginning to grow gills living here in Vancouver, BC.
Also, Elizabeth is starting to change a bit...Here's some updarted pics of her:
Lastly, today was an adventure. Heidi and Elizabeth spent the day with our friend Liesel Rios and I went ice climbing with my friend Dan. Heidi and I call Dan...."Dan the Man". Cause he rocks! We went to box canyon...and the ice was soso but we still had a blast! Here are some pics of the day...
heading out...the weather was blue sky but we would be climbing in the shade. Temps were hovering around zero celsius
its a really weird winter. the snow was really low and the ice wasn't that great. This was our best option...and it was safe enough to climb...so we did it. We didn't top out, cause the ice got sketchy at the final pillar...but it was still really fun.
Dan leading pitch 1 (W4-)
it was wet...but not unpleasant
cloudy and a bit cold at the top of the pitch
so happy to be out having an adventure with my friend Dan and loving being outside enjoying God's handiwork!
after the rappel.... it's a steep snow slog down the mountain...and a 1.5 hour hike back to the car (descending 1200ish feet).
Friends and mountains are a healthy combo

Hey I know Dan. He's the "Dishpit King" at Out of the Cold.
Great pictures.
Yeah...that's right Beth!
Thanks for droppin by :)
Beautiful surroundings. I am glad that you post pictures because I will certainly never go ice climbing! Also, it is amazing how much Elizabeth looks like Heidi! Does she get that a lot?
Thanks Vanessa! Actually only the past few days has Elizabeth gotten that comment...glad she looks like her mom and not her very large dad :)
ya know, i have a little bit of jealousy towards heidi and her level of activity after just having elizabeth. i pray i can be that way too, this time around. (couldn't after a c-section with jackson...*sigh*) AND it also makes me think of all the women who wait til there 6 weeks postpartum appts with the dr to be released to go back to the gym... it surely hasn't been 6 weeks for heidi and i say "ATTA GIRL!!! GO GET 'EM, TIGER!"
love you guys!!
Thanks Sara! Exercising postpartum is definitely harder than having exercised while pregnant. When it comes down to it...its all about listening to your body and not doing things that are going to hurt it. Plus most of my exercise has consisted of walking...which isn't too bad.
love you sis!
Heidi
