Little Toot

Here is Cyrus with his new haircut. We cut off about 5 inches everywhere. He instantly went from Polynesian baby to Mexican baby in just a haircut!
He is what I call ridiculously handsome. He isn't cute, just handsome, like a man. He reminds me a lot of Carlos. Stocky, solid with a butt-chin.

Love his glossy black hair and liquid black eyes.

A happy baby in the Cruz home. Us Cruz people take good care of our foster kiddos while they are with us. It is really an honor for each of us to do it.




I Ran!!

Bionic Noel is doing another sprint marathon. She asked if Carlos & I wanted to join her. It's in May, this was December, it seemed so doable. I dunno if Carlos is still "in" or not, but I've started my training.

I have zero desire to finish with any kind of respectable time in this thing. My only concern is to finish. As such, I thought I'd push myself and at least TRY to run. So I ran a 1/2 mile at the gym the other day. It wasn't bad. I didn't pee which was fab-u-lous and didn't have a heart attack (another perk). I don't even care if I don't run the 3 miles, just so I do some of it and complete the race.

If I ever get skinny and become addicted to sprints (which I could actually see happening, really) I'll worry about improving my times. But I am just excited to be training again and to do this with Noel. Granted, she'll have finished, gotten a pedicure, showered, put in an 8 hour shift at work, and washed my car when I cross the finish line but it's all good right?!

Wish me luck!!
