I luv Italy!

Oh My Grace!

I have been doing a lot of fix ups in our house (painting). Grace manuevered to the open can of white paint before I did and dumped it all over the kitchen floor and herself. She didn't seem to mind the paint on her body and loved the texture in between her fingers. Thank goodness no lead. She bought herself a bath in the kitchen sink (she loved it of course).

Running my 1st Mini!!!

I ran my first mini this month! It was a great experience, and I am going to sign up to do it again next year. I started my training off with running 1 mile and yes... ended running 13.1!  I started to tear up at mile 10 because I knew I would finish strong. I ran with my sister Emily. She kept me laughing the whole time. We started way in the back, and didn't get to the start line for 40 minutes after the start of the race. We dodged walkers the whole time. SO FUN!

Why did he keep kissing my sweaty head? Yuck!
This is my friend Ali, who I trained with. She is the one I saw at 7AM on Saturday mornings. Thanks Ali for being a great training partner!
Emily and I, feeling very proud of ourselves. Thanks Emily for running with me. I couldn't of asked for a better experience!

Shipshewanna Indiana is Amish country. We saw horse and buggy everywhere. It was like living in a different time. It made me want to simplify my life.

Splash Universe - The hotel we stayed at. We went around the Lazy River all day.
We stayed at a indoor water park. The boys went down the Tornado slide probably about 100 times. These boys have NO FEAR.
