Speed Bump

What a beautiful,Spring day we enjoyed this Easter. I wish I could hit rewind on the day. Charlie found an egg marked with "H" for Haley, and he put it back. I give him another year before he figures out the fun of re-hiding eggs for his cousin and sister so they can't find them. Look who we caught still hanging out in the back yard during our Easter egg hunt... After the egg hunt, Charlie decided to play a little golf. His first time hitting since last fall, but it didn't take him long to pick it right back up. He's a natural!  Squaring up to the ball... kicking the ball... Izzy hasn't shown much interest in golf, but she likes to watch Charlie. The bunny ears got in the way a few times,  but with a quick adjustment, he played on. Another Happy Easter! And what a difference a year makes !

Race note: I finished 3rd in my age group out of 378 runners -  and I paid for it all day Sunday. I need to put in more miles if I am going to run that hard. I know better, but I hadn't raced in a long time and my enthusiasm got the better of me. Gram finished 9th in her age group - despite almost missing the start. Way to go Mom! Mother's Day 5K Race Team 2012 We cheered on Kara in her big race Saturday and it was so much fun. I was surprised at how many people 'ran with the cows' in this race, which is only in its second year. I heard about 2500 turned out to run on Saturday. As with any big ra...
