Happy Independence Day friends! This morning I experienced the Peachtree Road Race for the the first time. It was fantastic! Romeo and I met Sandy W. this morning bright and early to make our way downtown for the world's largest 10k. Sandy was in group 2, and Rome and I were in group 3. Lucky draw for us! What an awesome experience! I'm not a serious runner although I have been working at the whole exercise thing for a few months now. I was very pleased to run about 2-2.5 miles altogether of the 6.2, and kept a steady pace for the remainder. Thinking it would take me an hour and a half to finish, I was excited to come in at 1 hour 19 minutes. Romeo finished in just over 1 hour 4 minutes. Sandy has bragging rights this year. You'll have to look at her blog for the details. It was such fun! Wonder if we're in the sea of people in this picture. The girls were watching the race at my parent's house, and both of them insist they saw us on t.v. I tend to believe they did since they told us what we were both wearing.
This was our third year having friends over on the 3rd for the "pre-race carb meal"-spaghetti. It was also Todd and Sandy's daughter, Kate's, birthday. In addition, the Hamby's joined us for the fun. I got some really cute shots of the kiddos playing.
Dean and Houston entertained themselves with Lily's doggie door.
Happy 6th Birthday to Kate!
Hey, is Dean stuck?

This past Wednesday, Romeo and I took Reagan and her friend Juliana to a U-Pick It farm to pick blueberries and blackberries. Sophie was at a friend's house for a couple days. The girls had so much fun-as did I. We've had homemade blueberry pancakes and blackberry cobbler-YUM!
Reagan said, "Mom, please promise that we'll come back next year."

Hey Jodi! - Sure we have a Blogger! We're kinda Newbie's to this thing but we have fun loading new pictures of Hunter. Thank You for your prayers! I cry everytime I start to thank someone for them b/c it means so much that You love Us so very much. The prayers have been so very helpful b/c without everyone praying for Us I don't think we would have made it through this storm! I love you, Jodi, thank you so very much!
Congratulations on running the Peachtree. I think that is great. I enjoy reading about all the wonderful experiences you are giving your girls. Reagan and her friend look so cute in their big straw hats.

You go girl! I have respect for those of you who can run it...I know I couldn't! :)
Congrats and wonderful pics of the kids playing. How fun to pick blueberries and blackberries. Glad you had a great 4th!!!
Glad the Brinkley family had a great 4th! You should have called us about the pre-race pasta meal - remember though, the first one was at my house...how can you forget that with CK showing up in his tights and bike helmet???!! I have the picture to prove it! Enjoyed seeing you at fireworks - have a great rest of the summer!!
I love the picture of Reagan and Julianna!
