Catch up!

One afternoon I was watching my friend, Sarah's kids, and Alice wanted to put on her giraffe costume (thanks Kim). She looks adorable in it. Well, Sarah has a little boy, Luke who is the same size and he wore the panda costume. Jane had on her princess dress so she joined in the picture. They were too cute.

Alice on another day pretending to be the giraffe. She and Jane have fun playing. Jane is the mommy and Alice is her dog. Alice goes around crawling and barking. It's pretty cute to watch.

Thanksgiving Day and the Turkey Trot

As has become our tradition, each year we participate in the turkey trot 5k/10k run/walk. Kim decided to run this year, so Mom and I walked with the youngest kids in strollers. We walked at a very slow pace, but enjoyed it even with the slight misty rain. It gears us up for a day of eating and football watching. We are so very thankful for the bodies we have been given which allow us to do these things.

Mikayla out of the stroller and running to the finish line

Kim and Mike went back to help Mom with the kids. Her stroller pulled to the left pretty bad. But they had fun. Ben crossing the finish line. (with Mike's help)

Mom finishing the race (the runners in the background ran the 10k. We walked the 5k).

Kevin finishing a tough 10k with the help of Jane and Alice. (He was sick for half of October and all of November and is just, in the last week, feeling much better. A little bronchitis and pan sinusitis knocked him out for a long time. So he hadn't run in a long time and his lungs were still recovering.) But he finished!!!! Although, I remember now that he was just supposed to walk with the girls and I, but took off running and ran the whole thing. Crazy!

Pretty girls!
