Well, things have been busy around the ole Sioned Homestead. Changes to 20six aside, work has been hectic, I have had no time to really get to my personal e mails. R, Baby A and I have done two races in the last two weeks, coming in eighth in one and second in another. Coming in second - R, Baby A and I were in a canoe race this past weekend. Since our canoe was stolen a few months ago we had to borrow one from a friend. His canoe was still so new that it was shiny. R and I were so scared we were going to scratch it. Anyway, we strapped the Baby to R with a front water tot carrier, made just for things like this. R and Baby A sat in the back while I took up the position in the front of the canoe. We were pretty excited as we came in second place last year, while I was pregnant so I knew that this year would be a piece of cake. Little did we know that they would have a record year in terms of the amount of people that were in the race! We finally got to the water and they blew the whistle and off we went. We were passing everyone we saw so we knew we were doing well when... baby A got hungry. Egads! R had to root around in her bag and get her a bottle while I, alone, kept paddling. I paddled a 17 lb canoe with 40-50 pounds of gear and a 200 lbs man who had a 17 pound baby strapped to him. I still managed to pass people. It was amazing! I mean, I was not going fast by any means, but I really wanted to win. In the end, we came in second place because of that break we had to take but it was all worth it. We had a blast and Baby A was so great during the whole thing. Who said having a child has to chance your life that much?
