5/19—Darrin’s work group hosted a 5K at a local park.  Before the race, they had a race for the little kids.  Ella thought she was pretty cool and proudly hung her ribbon on the wall when she got home.

Josh, Andrew, and I ran the 5K.  Josh won out of the 3 of us.  Andrew beat me.  I guess participating in running club 2x a week after school has paid off.

5/21—All three boys played spring soccer.  One of my favorite things as a parent is watching them play sports.  It’s definitely a highlight of the week.

To top off the night Ella fell in the pond and got soaking wet.  She lost one of her shoes, but luckily it was recovered.  She was so embarrassed and upset about it, so I didn’t take her picture.  But Luke held up the muddy shoe to help us remember the event. lol.
