Full Steam Ahead


Today the five of us, along with a huge group from our church, participated in the Race for the Cure. We were up/dressed and on the road by 6:15 this morning and the only morning person was Brian. He is accustomed to getting up this early, but the rest of us are dead. The boys perked up when they met with all their friends and the energy was hard to contain. Poor baby Abram did NOT feel good so I ended up carrying him for 3/4ths of the race. We started with about six other families from our life group when the race began, but it was too crowded to all stay together. Thankfully we were able to keep up with PAM! and her family which made the race more enjoyable. I thought the boys did great and had a fun time until the very end. We had one incident where Cooper ran into a pole and we heard great cries from him, but he got over it quickly. Since I had the baby most of the way PAM! was able to push the stroller for me, which was a HUGE help. It is alot easier to hold Abram with two hands. At the last turn Brian & Todd took the boys and ran to the finish line. I think that was the highlight of the whole race. Wyatt was very confused as he thought we would be running the entire time. You know? Like in a RACE? Wasn't going to happen dear boy.

You are getting so skinny. Have you lost more weight?! Good pictures of everyone, especially Cooper making faces in the family one. Ha!
