A Day Of Athletic Achievement

When they came to visit us over Easter, my brother and sister-in-law did a few 3 mile run/walks through my neighborhood.  This morning they finished the Chicago Marathon. 


Matt said it was an awesome experience that he never wants to do again.  Of course, that was at 3pm on race day when his body was feeling less than ideal, so I plan to ask again in about a month.  They had a cheering squad that found them 5 or 6 times and waved giant crayon-shaped piggy banks (crayon for the teacher, bank for the banker, red for Miami University) to get their attention.  Way to go Matt and Kate, quite an accomplishment!

Not to be outdone by her aunt and uncle, Annabelle chose race day to display her own athletic prowess.  Today she started to crawl!  She has been army crawling for a few days, and given her brother's preferance for that style for almost 3 months, I thought she'd stick with it for awhile.  But today she put it all together.  Slow and awkward, for sure, but a crawl non the less.  Way to go Annabelle, quite and accomplishment!
