Let the Sleep-Overs Begin...

Sleep-Overs (aka Slumber Parties back in the day!) have always been a huge part of every girls life!! Our girl included! She couldn't wait until she was old enough to have friends sleep over. Finally, the much awaited time came for her and her buddy Libbie! The girls had big plans and with much anticipation and a little reluctancy, the big day was here! It was complete with pillow fights, baking cookies and late night chats. I think it was all they had hoped for! And to think this is only the beginning of many...





Patiently waiting!

Priceless....

Training for a marathon... running over 500 miles over 13 weeks!
Running a marathon... Focus and Determination
Finishing a marathon... Priceless!

Garry ran and finished Wellstone's White Rock Marathon this past Sunday, December 9th, along with 15,000 other runners! The temperature was a chilly 43 degrees and he ran through rain, sleet and strong winds as well! My mom, the kids and I waited with much anticipation at the finish... the kids with signs held high that they had made the night before! We were squished in like sardines with about 60,000 others waiting for finishers as well! I have never been more proud as I watched him approach the finish of his 26.2 mile journey! What an awesome accomplishment! And in a mere 4 hours and 5 minutes!! His "running" buddy, Doug, is also in the picture! Doug is in white and Garry in red! They trained together and finished together!

Before the race!!
