Family Visit

This weekend was busy, but in a good way.  I ran another 5k and beat my time by 4 minutes.  Then we had our family picture taken (pictures to be posted at a later date).  Then Ryan's sister came for a visit and we had a good time hanging out and eating good food.


Mariah and her youngest Spencer (The kids loved playing with him.  He is a very happy baby.)

Holland Rescue Run 5k

Holland Hospital was one of the sponsors for the Holland Rescue Mission's Annual 5k event. They asked for some employees to run and I decided to give it a try. Anyway, the kids were happy to have me run another race, because they were sure Ryan would take them to get doughnuts while they waited. Gracie even said the night before, "I want mommy to run a race, so I can have doughnuts." So if/when I run a race next year, I think the new tradition is Mommy runs and the rest of the family eats doughnuts. Aren't we teaching healthy habbits?
