Running like crazy....

If you're wondering why the posts have been slim of late, just read on! We've been in the fast lane lately with cross country, soccer (the Elf made the varsity team and is knee deep in fun!), school and adoption trip preparations.....among other things!

On the cross country front....

Ladybug and the Elf ran in the county meet. The Elf had a bad day, but Ladybug did well! She had a personal best running time of 22:06 or 07 or 08 or something like that...whatever it was, it was fast! Then, the next weekend, Ladybug ran at the District meet and placed 13th...woo hoo! Our team progressed on to the next level: regionals. We traveled to Tallahassee to watch the team place 5th in the region, thus winning them a spot in the state tournament! It was quite the bonus to be able to see the Elf play soccer that night in Tallahassee...and stay with Mammy and Pop. How kind of God to place our weekend right in the lap of family!

Once again, this weekend we travel...to Dade City and the Cross Country state tournament. This time, we get to stay with BeBe and Poppy, who live just down the way a bit. Isn't it nice that BOTH sets of grandparents get to cheer on Ladybug in her final races?!?

Enjoy a few slide shows, lovingly put together by the Elf....and cheer on our girls!
