26.2

(Following post by Rob)

A selfless accomplishment for Wendy.

A lot of people run marathons - but a lot of people focus on themselves in the weeks /months leading to the event. Wendy didn't. She trained often - but she did it in the wee hours of the morning before any of the family would get up.

She would start her runs early in order to get back in time to snuggle the kids as they woke up, make breakfast, finish leftover homework, get them ready for school.

She made this exciting for all of us as it lead up to Saturdays race.

The girls and Augi were anxious to see her finish. They encouraged her along at the 14, 17 and 26.2 mile markers.

What a great example for them to see their mom setting her mind on something like this, work hard, and do it...do it well.

Thanks Wendy.

Great job.

Wendy and April Scott - Mile 17

Finish Time: 4:25:11

Ingrid had a pajama party for her 9th Birthday. She had friends from Alpine and friends from Highland and had a disco party complete with disco ball and music. Ice cream sundaes were a hit in stead of cake. She is a wonderful girl and we love having her in our family. Our great neighbors the Morleys made her polka dot cake and we enjoyed it with Jack and Jean and Rick and Rachelle and kids.
