Momness

I've had some pretty incredible blessings in my life and been able to accomplish some amazing things. Amazing to/for me anyway. But, the most amazing and fulfilling thing I have ever done is this:

Will there be a fourth generation next year?? :)

Day before Mother's Day Ritual

The day before Mother's Day is the Susan G. Komen "Race for the Cure". This has become a yearly ritual for our family. Every year more and more people turn out (17K this year)and it gets harder to run without tripping over someone. It's amazing how many people have been affected by this terrible disease (breast cancer). Here are some pictures from our experience this year. (Peter was there, but behind the camera.)

Jamie and her friend Stevie on the way to the starting line.

It's a little chilly first thing in the morning....walking to the starting line. Robin looks psyched :)

Me, running....very slowly...but running. I don't do running. This is the ONE time a year I run a 5K. My knees don't allow anything more.

Kira, Robin, and Lindsey after the race.

Nice hats!
