Fourth of July Race

Elly and I ran a two mile race this morning...wait ...giggle... giggle...Elly and I ran/walked one mile together and I carried her the other mile. Part piggy back, part on the hip, part by her head dragging her. Just kidding! Although she was making such a fuss that people passing us probably thought I tortured her on a regular basis. COME ON ELLY THAT TWO YEAR OLD IS DOING IT...SHEESH! WHAT ARE YOU A MAN OR A MOUSE! "
I'm not a man Mommy I'm just a frail little girl!"
Jon did really well he ran in the 5 mile race. He came in 15th overall and placed 2nd in his age group. He also placed second in the team race. WAY TO GO BIG J! Next year he's running the 5 mile with Elly...pay backs a >-}

TOo funny!! I really admire how your family is so athletic/ active. I'd like to get there one day.

ALSO when I saw that picture I thought -Oh WOW they really, REALLY look alike!! I mean, we see pics of Elly-girl all the time, but not so many of you.
