Award winning

My friends and I ran a 5k today. Since I had the flu last week, it was survival mode for most of the race. Somehow all of us (Jedd, Michelle, Nana and I) ended up placing 1st-3rd in our age groups! I won't elaborate on exactly how many were in each age group or what that age group was. We are all just amazing runners...The picture shows us in action:




OK, so I forgot to take the camera...but the kids are proudly sporting the "true" resulting medals.

I am so proud of you Shari! That is great! I did a 5k for my birthday two years ago and it was really fun. I didn't place, though. Clearly, I am not the super-athlete that you are, my friend. :O)

Quick thoughts

So I'm finally up with the times and have my own blog. You'd think if someone was a "webmaster" that they might be current with a full family history...

Now I'm frantically searching my mind for all those clever things my kids did and all those life changing thoughts that would really help all who read my little blog. Nothing.

Just two quick stories about both kids. Maybe then I can feel at ease knowing that my children's lives are adequately documented.

Jake has always been interested in numbers. He loves to ask random people (fellow shoppers at Wal-Mart, those who happen to stop next to us at a red light, etc) what their address is. Finally Jake discovered his life calling when we went through the Wal-Greens drive thru to pick up a prescription. Jake decided he would like to be the teller asking people for their address to verify their getting the correct prescription. We are in the process of getting him a store job application right now.

Afton has profound moments when I realize just how fast she is growing up. This week she saw a little girl walking with just her mom. She pointed at the little girl and said "Ohhh, that little girl doesn't have a brother." Let's just hope she always appreciates that she has a big brother!
