family

My family already knows this about me, but I’m always late, and running about a week behind! Hence, I’m just now getting around to the big events that went on last weekend. Last Saturday was our second annual Pound the Pavement Run/Walk in Pendleton in memory of my dad. You can read more about our mission and event by checking out our website. The race was great! The whole family was in town to help out! It’s so rewarding to see so many people (and canines:) participate so that we can raise money to award to a high school senior each Spring. Thank you family and friends for donating an entire weekend of your lives to help us out! We love you all!

The day after the race, we were so lucky to get to spend time with the other side of my family. Simon’s cousin, Shelly, was in town from Houston, so Tony (one of Simon’s other cousins) invited us over for dinner. It was an extra special treat because we got to see little Lilly, Tony and Anita’s little baby girl. Lilly is almost 8 months old, and I know this because Lilly and I share the exact same birthday! She rocks. Lilly is such a happy baby, and obviously beautiful with her dark hair and dark eyes! Thanks, Tony and Anita, for having us over. It was a blast hanging out with you guys and Shelly. Oh yeah, and I cannot forget to thank Auntie Ruth for the delicious meal! I’m lucky to have such great family all around!
