Lincoln Marathon

I ran the Lincoln Half Marathon again this year.  I trained with my friends Julie and Jill, although Julie didn't run it this year..maybe next year!  I had my personal best time of 2:09!!

Go Green!

We signed Isaiah up for the Little Green track club again.  He had many practices and a few run for ribbons nights.  He was very consistent, in that he got a white ribbon (last place!)  every time!  But he had a blast doing it! :-)

Fun in the Water!

We got to play in the not-quite-summer heat for the first time at our new house!  Grandma Deb had given the kids a fun, wiggly sprinkler for Easter and we tried it out.  Isaiah had more fun filling up his buckets with the wiggly fingers than running through it!

Turtle Time!

After bath time Claire likes to be completely wrapped up in her towel and pretends to be a turtle!

Happy Birthday Everett!

This super cute picture was taken in Sutton at Everett's birthday party!

Bye, Bye Miss Joy :-(

We had to say good-bye to our wonderful Miss Joy this year.  She informed us in March that they were going to be moving to Gretna at the end of the school year.  We are all heart-broken.  Miss Joy has been true to her name and has been a joy to us for the past three year.  We are happy for her family's chance for a change, but very sad to see her go.  Next year the kids will be going to another in-home daycare where I know they will be loved well, too, but we will truly miss the great Miss Joy!

Family Pictures

We had our yearly family pictures taken on East Campus this year.  We had Carissa Martin, a friend from church, take them this year.  It was very HOT that day and Claire, of course, had decided not to nap that day.  Carissa did a great job of trying to get Claire to smile and capture some great pictures of our family.

Zoo, Zoo, Zoo!

On Memorial Day we went to the Lincoln Zoo with Andy's parents.  The kids had a lot of fun seeing all the animals and all the changes the zoo made this season.  Claire enjoyed being a monkey and Isaiah got to sit with Grandpa Bob on the train!
