ING Marathon, Sarah's First Full (yes, 26.2miles)
Today Sarah started on a journey that ended 26.2 miles later. Sarah ran her first full marathon at the ING marathon in Atlanta. SHE ROCKED IT!! 16,000 runners and only 4,000 ran the full marathon. Sarah placed better than half of all the runners.
Sarah started training for this back in November after coming home one night and saying "I want to run a marathon"
The group she trained with is Team in Training with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Check out their website http://www.teamintraining.org/ what an awesome cause and what an awesome group. As her husband I want to say thank you to all the Coaches and Mentors for all the work and training that you do. YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME !!! I have never seen my wife so excited and motivated.
For all of our friends, family, and businesses that supported us in the fund raising THANK YOU!!!! You truly made a difference and hopefully one day we will find a cure to such a nasty disease.
Thank you all so much for your prayers and support..

"Look Mom! No Training Wheels!"
Julia is finally solo... That is without training wheels. She has been contemplating it for sometime, but has finally felt confident to do it... Enjoy!
Lock in
I sent this to Tim in an email this morning but I thought you would find this entertaining... For some reason when we moved in the door lock on Jada's room was switched, we have used this to our advantage in container her... until now, read on...
So this morning after we dropped Julia off at school, Jada was really fussy and whinny so I gave her some motrin and told her we would read a book and take a rest. Well I read to her, and sang, but she just kept playing next to me in the bed, well being that I don't feel well either I fell asleep. I don't know how long later but she began calling for me from behind her door. I get up and she has locked me in. I call to her to unlock it and she says "I can't I have boudroux all over" I keep persuading her to unlock it and she can't and won't. I keep banging on the door but no success. I try to unravel one of the door stopers and stick it in the door handle to try to release it, it doesn't work. I then tell her to go get mommy's cell phone, thinking I could get Tara or Scott (our neighbors) to help me. She leaves for a while seeming to have forgotten about me, so I call her back and she is shoving candy mints under the door asking me to unwrap them. I about pee my pants at this point cause I have to pee now and she is throwing me a bone under the door like "sorry mama, it doesn't matter that you are stuck, can you get me this candy?" I am now checking the window out to see how far a drop it is... "Jada please go get mommy's cell phone" She is gone for a while again... I am getting frantic now and thinking can I break this door down? "Jada please go get mommy's cell phone, it is in my purse" Gone a while longer, finally out of the blue the door unlocks and I am free!!! Only to discover that she has rubbed Boudreox (diaper ointment) all over the carpet! Not to excited about that but glad to be free!!
