Sharks on the Run

Rachel's School did a race for a fundraiser so we joined in the cause.  We split the children this way because of the personality dynamic.  Hannah likes to pester her stroller mate too much.  Joe carried an extra 80+ pounds.

Lincoln enjoyed doing pre-race warm up jogs with Joe.  Good thing he was wearing his running moon boots.

 Me towards the beginning

Me at the end sprint.  My friend took the race pictures and I would like to think that I was just too fast for her camera to focus but she says she got sand in her camera.  We all have our interpretations:). 

My Sanity Project

I got Rachel's comforters and wanted to do a valance.  This is the valance that goes with the bedroom set, which I wasn't in love with...plus it was really expensive.

I've found my life is happier if I have a creative outlet/project, so I decided to make my own valance.  It took a while, but I learned how to do the ribbon embroidery and it turned out really well, or at least that's what you're supposed to tell me:).  My wonderful husband was nice to hang them right after I finished, even though he had other things to do.  Good man.

Field Day

I volunteered at Rachel's Field Day.  It turns out that I probably shouldn't have volunteered and brought Lincoln and Hannah because they didn't last very long.  It was fun to be able to see Rachel and take some pictures.

On two Wheels

I forgot to post that about 3 weeks ago Rachel learned how to ride her bike without training wheels.  We tried to tell her and helped her several times and one day it just clicked and she was off.
