So proud of my oldest, ‘A’. He took it upon himself to join us for the “What Happened to the Sun Run” and ran the 3.1 run/walk interval with us, then ran the remaining 1.5 miles home, while I followed him in the car! This was an after shot at home, with the iPad. DID I MENTION THIS STARTED AT 4:45AM? My 12 year old got himself up at 4:30!!

These two crack me up.  They like to re-enact the opening sequence of the Brady Bunch and turn their heads in accordance to the characters on the opening song!

Early Morning Run

Temps here are still in the 90s – 100s! To get any running in, we have to run before the sun comes up!  Here is a group run with my friend/next door neighbor on the far right (Keri), I am to her left, and some other wonderful ladies we just met that morning with the sole goal of running together. 3.1 miles at 5:45am!

We are blessed with amazing next door neighbors. We both watch each others animals when we travel.

A few nights ago, this was outside in their backyard, pointed toward our house.  Our homes are separated by a rod iron fence. The girl, ‘M’, wrote this “thank you” note to us…

Run to Remember 5K

After a break of about two years of consistent running, along with months of recovery from three separate injuries, I finally was able to get back to running enough to where I could run a 5K fun run!

I was pretty content with this being the first time result to launch from.

My fellas joined me for moral support.  It was a nice morning, although the smoke for area fires cut the attendance down quite a bit due to poor air quality.

Confucius Quote

“To put the world in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must put the family in order; to put the family in order, we must cultivate our personal life; and to cultivate our personal life, we must first set our hearts right.”

WE HAVE PUPPIES!

Puppies!! Cute, little teacup Yorkshire Terriers! Meet Allie, the little girl with ‘R’, and Austin, the little boy with ‘A’. 12 weeks old.
We have entered the world of sleep deprivation, and potty training, again!

They are awesome little bundles of joy…

FWIW, our cat is 15 pounds…he has been amazing with the puppies.  I think he knows they are babies.

 

Can you tell the boys are excited?

This is such a great picture for us.  This is our pastor from when we lived in Washington state.  He now works at Mt. Hermon, the camp we attend for Family Camp!  It is three hours from our home.  We love having him and his wife so near!

I wish I had caught more photos, but we were having too much fun having fun! We had three other families attend with us.  It was a precious time.  Can’t wait until next year!

Crazy Clouds

DH traveled to Detroit for a convention, traveling through Chicago.  There was a crazy storm through Chicago that grounded planes and delayed flights. DH missed his connecting flight, but they were able to get him to his destination that same night.  Here is a photo of some of the clouds he encountered while in the air…
