Hit the ground running

Larry has found that he has a real passion for all things running. He said that he wants only things related to running if I ever need a gift idea for Christmas or birthdays. I'm so glad he found something he loves, this will keep him healthy and in shape.

This last weekend, he ran with a team of 12 people in the Cascade Lakes Relay. It took 36 hours to run 216.6 miles. They ran on dirt, through the dust of traffic, on pavement and over hills. It was a tough course, but they finished well. Can you imagine this view?





The fresh air and cool breeze was the perfect setting for a run! One of our team members even had a stream waiting for her to jump into when she was finished.



Larry was really proud of his shirt and medal, I think he wore it all the way home and brought it to work the next day. Running 20 miles in one weekend is something to be excited about, I sure am proud of him!

Simple Pleasures

As I was drying my hair with the blow dryer, Jared stood nearby with a little smile on his face. I figured out that he really liked the warmth from the blow dryer so I pointed it at him and he turned in slow circles while giggling with pleasure. David heard the glee in Jared's voice and ran to share whatever it was Jared liked. Soon I had two boys turning in circles to enjoy the warmth all over. It's as if I've pulled a warm fluffy blanket out of the dryer to wrap around them. Is there anything more wonderful?
