Race for Life

Well I did it. I finished the Race for life on Sunday. We did it in 36min. It was a 5K. It was great to run with other women from church. Thanks you all who donated towards this great cause. I ended up raising $220. Now I am looking for my next race to run! Below are some pics from the race day.

Thanks for the great race girls!

Where is the summer?

Here we are in the beginning of July and haven't seen the sun in the past week and a half. I think we might need to take some vitamin D supplements! One of the benefits of all the rain is that we haven't needed to water our garden. Even without the sunshine we are doing well. Kendal is growing like the weeds in the garden. Maybe it's all the rain. She grew three inches in the past 3 months. Now I know why she can't fit into any of her shoes. (Good thing for Crocs) She is really getting steady on her feet now and loves to run down hills and is trying to jump. She is such a character. I don't have to do my abdominal exercises anymore because she has me laughing all day long. Benefits of having children besides doing the dishes when they are older. Looking forward to that day. She is trying to talk in sentences, which is great, but I don't understand what she is saying most of the time. The great thing is she says and signs the words she needs to get what she wants. Praise the Lord we are all healthy and are enjoying spending our time together with friends and family.

In June we had two sets of visitors to stay with us. It was so nice. First we had my childhood best friend and her husband to visit. It was so nice to see them and so hard to let them go. Hope you guys are well. Miss you. Next we had Bryan's sister and her partner Rob here. It was such a great time to see them and get to know Rob more. Here is a picture the two of them.

Here we all are enjoying some fantastic homemade pizza at a little restaurant in Lyme Regis (on the coast) We ate there twice in one day it was so good. Never done that before.

Here is Dawn, Kendal and I.

When Dawn and Brian were here we ventured to our local bowling alley. Brian being an avid bowler had to try it out in another country. Some how Kendal found my sunglasses put them on properly and wanted to use them while she bowled. She thinks she is so cute. Just watch her after she bowls it is so cute.
