TOUGH MUDDER 2013!

Mara and I were fortunate enough to have another AWESOME team to run the Tough Mudder with. This year we had ~14 people (9 last year) and all but Mara and I were first time runners. The course was just as brutal as last year. Everyone had a lot of fun, and I really mean that. We were laughing, joking, and being our goofy selves the entire course...the pictures & videos prove it.  I took our waterproof (& mud/shock proof) camera long and documented the majority of the fun run...:)

It was absolutely awesome to have Jen, Michelle & Chris, & Allison share the fun with us (another post for their whole visit). We wish the twins would have incubated a lot longer, but because they came early they all got to meet the newest Syrings, plus Mara (being awesome) was able to train enough to run as well!

This was another awesome experience, and we'll let the pictures (from us and others) and video (courtesy of Shannon) tell the story.

2.5 Week Twin Update

Hard to believe the twins are already over 2 weeks old! They are doing so well, gaining weight and changing daily.  As of this AM both girls weigh 3lbs and are on full feeds through the feeding tubes!  Their IV's and nasal cannulas have been removed and they are tolerating everything very well!
Saturday we were able to give Prana her first bath.  Rohan was such a good helper as well, and the smile on his face was there all day!

Yesterday Mara was able to hold them together for the first time, which was a very special day.  We happen to have our friend Hannah along to take some pics and the timing couldn't have been better.  Mara was able to hold them for almost 3 hours!  We were able to give Tesla a bath as well yesterday, so lots of firsts!

Looking forward to getting them home in the next month or so.  We just need them to keep gaining weight and keep getting stronger.

Enjoy some of the pics we've taken over the last 2.5wks:
