Jamba Juice 5K and Nate's First Tub Bath

This morning, Matt made the Stevens family proud (and well-nourished) at the Jamba Juice 5K race. Matt ran a strong race, finishing first place in his age group and fifth place overall with a time of 15:30. Nate was excited to be able to watch his first real race. Well to be honest, he actually more or less slept through the whole thing. :o) Matt's parents also came out to the race to cheer him on. We look forward to this race every year because the prize includes not just a Jamba Juice thermos, tumbler and t-shirt, but 26 FREE JAMBA JUICE COUPONS to the top 3 overall runners and first place in each age group. Matt has won the Jamba Juice prize for I think 3 years in a row now, and we enjoy them well into the hot Hawaiian summer. We are stoked about this payoff for all his training.

Matt's strong finish.

When we got home from the race, we gave Nate his first at-home tub bath. His umbilical cord stump fell off earlier this week at his doctor's appointment, so we figured that by today things were totally healed up and ready for a little dip. The baby bath tub is at Matt's parents house at the moment, so we used the little tub they sent home with us from the hospital. It was a little small, but Nate seemed to enjoy the warm water. Maybe he will be a beach bum after all!

And lastly, just for fun, here is a picture of Matt at Sam's Club a couple of days ago after Nate spit up all over him. Matt actually had a receiving blanket over his shoulder to catch any spit up, but it all happened so fast!
