How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called the children of God!
1 John 3:1

A Father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families, he leads forth the prisoners with singing.
Psalm 68:5-6

Race Day!

Our city hosted it's largest road race this morning- a marathon, 1/2 marathon and 5K. Prior to the arrival of my sweet little lady, my friend, Ashley and I had planned on doing the 1/2 marathon. However, my trip to Ethiopia and the busyness of mommiehood derailed our training plans. So, we got up bright and early this morning and braved the threat of pouring rain and thunderstorms to do the 5K race...the first 5K for both of us!
Time to go...race starts at 7:30am! The adrenaline is pumping Anna didn't make this race- thanks to Bill and SueSue for pulling an early morning baby shiftWe had a great race and I was so very proud of us!! This was Ashley's first race every- she was so tough today!! The finish line was on the 50 yard line of the football stadium- so cool! The cheering crowds gave us that extra burst we needed to finish strong. I was glad to be part of TEAM ADOPTION and wanted to give a special shout out to my baby girl. So we added a little extra something to our backsides... We had a fantastic morning and are looking forward to doing the 1/2 marathon next year...or mabye one even sooner!
