What are we thinking??

Jerry and I are runnning in the mini-marathon in Indianapolis in just a little over a month. We've been training since December. It has actually been going pretty well. Jerry can run faster and longer than me, but I'm improving. I actually ran for 90 minutes straight a few weekends ago, which was about miles. However, we were inside! Today, we finally had nice weather - 50 degrees, so we decided to run outside. Oh my heavens. We were supposed to run 10 miles. We got nearly 9 and I'm dead. I've done nothing today since we ran at 11. My knees hurt and my ankles. Jerry keeps asking me how old I am?! It was so much harder running outside. The hills and oh my, the wind! I kept praying for God to stop the wind! My face has been red all day - I'm going with a sunburn, but it is probably wind burn! That was the longest I've ever run and in just a few more weeks, I have to run 13.2 miles!? What were we thinking??!

The boys are doing fine. They are anxiously awaiting spring and shorts weather. We have one more week and then spring break. Hopefully it will be nice around here.

No pictures today, but prayers would be appreciated that I don't die on May 3!

Dressed for Easter

Here are our precious boys dressed for Easter. They were both excited to wear ties and feel grown up. I'm so glad that they are good friends and get along well, most of the time. We had a great time making "empty tombs" at church, visiting with family, and having our annual Easter egg hunt in the back yard. Levi found the golden goose this year and was excited about the $5. Brooks and Reese got so much candy we didn't know what to do with it all. Unfortunately we figured out what to do with it, and the bowl is almost empty!

New Blog

This is my first entry of what I hope to be able to keep doing. We'll see how I do! Hopefully this will make the time fly by until we receive our referral for our daughter, Kierra Jo.
