WALKIN' & RACIN'

I started out the morning on Friday by taking a brisk (i.e. we were late!) walk to school with my beautiful daughter, Avery.
One of the benefits of a neighborhood school is the short walks back and forth -- easy to do, even on a busy morning! I enjoyed the solitary walk home in the warm sunshine, listening to worship music on my mp3, thankful for my good life.


Later in the morning, I got to walk (and run) with Ella at her school's annual Race for Education. Ella ran with the 1st - 3rd graders and she was very determined. She started off sprinting for about 2 laps, then slowed down a lot towards the end. She completed her "race" with an awesome total of 15 laps (about 3.75 miles!) She was rewarded with a popsicle (and lots of hugs from Grandma & Mom).
