race day

here are some race day pics that do NOT include me.
pat and the kids arrived early in the morning with me so that they could get parking (and wouldn't have to park in the next town over like last year).


fritzy ready to cheer


i guess the kids got to say "hi" to a fridge at the park. lily didn't want to meet the fridge.

at bushnell park again ...my dad graciously came down to help pat with the kids.

my dad, the kids and pat cheered me on from 3 different places on the race course. it's a great feeling having people cheer you on - even complete strangers.

the kids ready to cheer at the starting line which somehow ended up as the last pic for this post. (as always, no finish line pics of me.)

Congratulations on completing your second half-marathon! That's so exciting! I would love to do a half-marathon someday, but I have to get over my hatred of running (and my ability to get hurt frequently when I do run!). Congrats!

quotables

"is that lily holding baby lily?" -lily's response when i showed her a picture of gracie holding her when lily was a baby.

"drama class is actually a lot of fun." -gracie (this is only humorous in that grace seemed surprised by how much she likes drama class. this from my child who we refer to as "a drama queen" when she is not around.)

"mom, you can go with my teacher and i'll stay home with japie and evan. daddy can go to work, and i'll be the mommy" -lily, in response to learning that she would be going to preschool next year instead of this year.

"mom, if you don't get rid of that smell soon, you're going to have to buy a new car." -gracie when it took me a couple of days to clean out my car after returning from a road trip.

"mommy, they have dress-ups for you!" -lily while walking by the prom dress section at macy's.

"i said the prayer "last"-erday." -lily's replacement word for "yesterday."
