Emmy and I got our glow on at our BIO girls Glow Run 5K last Friday night. We put our glow in the dark tattoos, unicorn shirts and lip gloss. We took photos and geared up in even more glow sticks. It was 40 deg and raining but we toughed it out and started the run around 8:30. We started off tired and cold and Emmy almost immediately got a side ache. She wanted to stop but I gave her a pep talk and she started to run....and ran....and ran...and didn't stop until we reached the finish. She ran 3 miles in under 30 minutes! We passed her friends, the college aged runners and many others on our way to the finish. I could not have been prouder of her for staying strong and perservering. She and her BIO girl friends have worked hard all summer and this was a great way to cap it off.
It was grandparents day at the kids' school and they had Grandma Candy, Grandpa Bob AND Grandpa Kelly. They were so excited when Bob and Candy picked them up from school for breakfast. Then cowboy Kelly joined in and Emmy read to her grandpas. I heard that in Bobby's classroom Bobby spent half the hour on Grandpa Kelly's lap and that his cowboy attire was a hit with the kids in the class. The kids are so lucky to have these grandparents and all this love!
