A little bit of perfection!

We did something really special this weekend! Our family participated in the Magnolia 5K Race all together! It was a time to celebrate Caitlin and help support The Epilepsy Foundation. Jennifer did such an amazing job pulling together a team of friends and family! She had the cutest shirts made for everyone! It was a really special day. Caitlin is such an amazing little girl who is loved by so many. Jennifer and John are an inspiration every single day for the love and strength they show as a family.
The other part that made the day so special is that it was Dad's first 5K! He has worked so hard and done so amazing training for the race! It was just such an amazing experience to get to run it with him and share in the excitement! He did SOOO great and even got to cross the finish line with 4 girls by his side! My running buddies ran the whole way with us! It was a happy day!
Nunno, Jennifer, John and Steven walked the race with all the kiddos! They definitely had the more challenging experience! We are just so proud of the whole family!

You really need to refuel after riding on someone's shoulders!

Good times!

RUN RUN RUN!

So... a little bit more of that perfection.... The weather was RIDICULOUS this weekend!! Beautiful! Sunny! Perfect temperature! After the race we spent the WHOLE day by the pool! Ann and Scott came in town and we had the best time! The kids loved them being here and we all got such a great visit together! Ugga even taught Jack to swim all over the pool on his back! Jack LOVED doing this over and over again! We turned the hot tub on and the kids loved playing in the bubbles! We made a yummy dinner and spent lots of time out on the deck! This morning we ate breakfast outside and enjoyed being together! It really was such a perfect weekend! It was a good time to stop and think about how wonderful life is and how fortunate we are to have such great friends and family around us!
