Marathoner!

This Saturday, Bryce ran his first marathon! Can you believe that? I mean, that’s 26.2 miles, people! I can’t even imagine running that far. I am so proud of him. He hit “the wall” around mile 22, but with the help of Brad and Brock (who also ran–way to go, brothers!) and his own determination, he pushed through and crossed the finish line.

I love this picture. Brotherly love.

Brock and Brad had great runs and felt like they could have kept running forever. Bryce's run was definitely hard, but he pushed on and made it.

It was a fun morning (well, at least for those of us that were only spectators) and such a huge accomplishment for these guys. They’re already dreaming of the next challenge and looking for races to register for!

Happenings

Well, life continues to be busy around here. 3 kids–I’d heard it would be hard, and, guess what? That’s true! But, of course, amazing and wonderful as well. My children are definitely teaching me the true meaning of patience, a virtue that I am forever working on. But that’s the whole point, right? To grow and change and become better? Anyway, here’s a look at what we’ve been up to.

Reading Charlotte's Web with Daddy. Bryce has made it a habit to read with the kids every evening and I love it. I think they're really enjoying it, too. What book should we read next I wonder?

This picture pretty much says it all. Amelie just adores Easton and still can't get enough of him. Calder? He could take him or leave him, probably. He's a good big brother, though. Always very sweet with Easton.

Easton is doing so great. Just had his 2-month check-up and he's gained 4 pounds since birth. I can't get enough of his sweet cooing and the little laugh that is just starting to emerge.

In other happenings, Bryce turned 30 on May 30th. We celebrated by going to a Rockapella concert. So much fun. I love those guys. I also gave Bryce a little gift every day during the week leading up to his birthdays. Foot scrubs and rubs, scalp massages, 30 reasons why I love him…you get the picture. I can’t believe I’m married to a man in his 30s!

And lastly, Bryce will be starting a new job on Monday. We’re excited and nervous and happy. I know he will do a great job and that it won’t take long for the company to realize what a treasure they have on their hands.

So, it’s been a great month! Looking forward to all that summer has to offer!
