We Did It!

On Saturday morning, Mindy and I ran our 2nd 5K race together. Our first one was in May and I was pushing Bradley in a stroller so it seems that this time I did much, much better. It was the perfect morning--a bit of a breeze down by the river but warm enough to make us dripping with sweat--just like real runners! I have to say, I have never been much of a runner--we Floyd girls just aren't built that way. Fortunately, my sister is my drive, motivation, inspiration and personal trainer. Upon hearing about the race, Mindy immediately signed up and then made sure I was signed up and committed. She can pretty much run me into the ground when we are working out--I'm much more of a wimp but I love that she stays with me and pushes me to go harder and do better. We are already talking about doing another one soon, maybe. . . .

Nate's a Star!

Here is a commercial that a friend from church put together for one of our local TV stations. If you know of any good agents, give Nate a call . . .

Last Chance at Summer

Our summer went by so fast and now that three of the kids are in school all day, I am missing summer a little bit (only a little). We took one last trip to the river in Grandpa's new boat on Labor Day. This is Megan and her friend, Amelia. The fact that everything seemed to fly by so quickly this summer is one of many reasons prompting me to document life by blogging. I feel like maybe I'll have some tangible evidence that summer actually happened and my kids (and husband) were once home making noise, messes and lively moments every day.
