Mercedes Kids Marathon

THEN
2007

NOW
Why do I not have a picture
We didn't make it to the race
Emma has done the kids marathon since 2007
Abby has done the marathon since 2008
John and I wouldn't miss it for anything
We were at Courtney's helping during Lawson's
tonsillectomy recovery
That was the weekend of the snow
Brady called and said that the girls school had called it off
That made sense
You wouldn't want to be responsible for
parents and kids on possibly icy spot roads
driving from Tuscaloosa
So......
We bundled up Lawson and took him out to play in the snow
About the time we were getting ready to come in
Brady called
A teacher that went on to the race
She runs in the real race
called Kim
Several of the parents and kids came anyway
and did not have any trouble getting there
So.....
Brady said they were heading out the door
So.....
We went in to get ready
we hurried
But....
just as we were getting in the car
Brady called and said the girls
were though with their races
So....
we missed it for the first time
But
I won't miss it next year
and
JB3 will be in the marathon next year
Can't wait

The picture is from 2007
Parents run with the K and 1st grade
It is one of my favorite pics

We went on and met Brady, Kim and kids
and Donnie and Dianne
at the Cheesecake Factory
so we could celebrate Emma's birthday
as a family
Lawson was so happy to see everybody
and the kids got cheesecake
after we ate lunch
UMMMM!
