Summer Is Underway; Marathon Is Almost Here [Running]

It’s been quite around here for a while. I’m kind of done with the archive thing, having put up the archives from January to April 2006. Just a few loose ends to clean up, I think/hope.

I’m still catching my breath after the whole graduation thing. Nothing much happened that next week, but last week was pretty crazy, starting with Layla and Emma’s big dance recital on Sunday night. You can’t take photos or video because they are selling those. I’m still trying to make my way through the 2000+ photos taken during the girls’ numbers and the DVD is on the way, so you can look forward to all that.

The next day had Layla in her new glasses, which along with her height really makes her look old. Madysen and Papa took off for a three week adventure to Barcelona and Tel Aviv (where they are volunteering with the IDF), but not before Madysen got into her first accident. Just a little thing, thankfully, but she rear-ended someone while she was rushing around at the last minute.

On Tuesday, Speed got a warehouse job, which is perfect for him other than the 7 a.m. start time.  On Wednesday, Layla and Emma went down to Houston to spend a couple of days with my parents.

But this weekend is really big. Tomorrow Holly and I head to Anchorage for her first (and only?) marathon on Saturday morning. She’s done a great job training (as far as I can tell) and she surpassed her fundraising goal, so thanks to everyone who provided support. I’m sure she’ll do great.

We get back around 6 a.m. on Monday morning at which time Holly and Layla and Emma are heading out to a big surprise something. Not knowing is killing Emma. I’m sure they’ll have a great time, but I’m glad I’m not going.
