Love that smile!

whoa, has it really almost been a month???

We have been traveling these last three weeks...!!!!! A lot of different places to sleep and a lot of people to see, but it was a great time. The kids are so flexible, we are thankful for that. I haven't downloaded my pictures from Lakeside yet, but here are some of the pictures from the fun!

Pittsburgh Half Marathon

We had the Pittsburgh Half Marathon this past weekend. It was a great time; Danielle, Aaron and Lydia were wonderful hosts. The race was on Sunday and for the most part we had good, cloudy weather-compared to the rain that came on Monday! I didn't have any pictures of my own, since both Mark and I were running. So here are some borrowed pictures from Barb and Aimee. Hope you enjoy the pictures!

All the 'kids' ran the race:)

All the girls...minus Grace

All the boys...minus John (clearly the girls out number the boys)

Luci getting 'sweaty' kissed from Dad after his race...he got a Personal Best for himself 2:10...great job HONEY!!!!!


Aimee and I were paired together, she did a great job! Thanks for letting me stop to pee every other mile!


Me and my honey with Pittsburgh in the background...lots of bridges
