Cleveland Marathon!

After training hard for many months, Jaime finally reached her goal of running a marathon! The Cleveland Marathon was well-organized and as fun as running 26.2 miles can be. Bob and the boys were the best pit crew a runner could hope to have. They cheered for her at the halfway point and were there when she crossed the finish line at 4 hours 23 minutes!

The starting gun. I'm in there somewhere!

Mile 13! The boys and Bob came out to see me.

Cold and exhausted, but I made it!

Easter!

At church with the boys

The boys and I went to my sister Jennifer's church today for my nephew Nicholas' baptism. After that, it was back home for our twist on the Easter egg hunt. Each boy gets a different color of yarn attached to their Easter basket.  Then I wind the yarn through the house like a maze. The boys have to follow the yarn to their Easter basket.  It makes for some interesting maneuvering through the house: think the Catherine Zeta-Jones scene in "Entrapment" (only WAY less sexy.)  Check it out:

The kitchen, all wound up
