Rose City Run

"Oh yeah, I'm ready."

Norma and I went with Willie early before everyone else got there.

And a lot of the racers asked us to hold there stuff for them while they ran, One lady we know even gave me her Dad's car keys to hold on to, she almost gave me her drivers license to.

Under Armor.

"Ok, I can do this, Breath in, breath out."

Waiting for the signal.

"Out of my way! Ive got places to go and people to beat!"

The end of the group.

Seeing the camera gave willie a burst of energy. It works for some.

Ooh! Lah... Lah!

Free Ice cream.

Those Ice sicles were not good at all.

I love Daisy and Grace's expressions.

These girls are Awesome friends.

You too Grace. :)

"Are they here yet?"

Staff: "Get back in line!"

Observe Norma in the back: "Man, I wanted to give the winner a high five when he ran past."

"Save the cheers people, I know I beat all your other friends and all, But there's no need to make a big deal out of something so small."

"Autographs after I shower."

"NO!.... Dakota beat me!" (Tears falling uncontrollably.) "How could I have let this happen?"

Our Joel.

"Stay in your finished orders please."

Some of the runners looked really tired, and some not at all.

Not a drop of sweat.

"Hey Man."

"It was easy."

Bethany did great, Still had energy after the race.

Um.. and Devin...Well, he didn't do so good. At least he got paid though.

No, He did really good. :)

This guy didn't have time to change after his wedding.

"Inspiring! I think I'll where my tu tu and ballet slippers when I run next year, Maybe it will make me go fast."

Listening.

Street Ninja.

Christian, One of the cutest kids ever.

"Come on son! Pass this girl."

"Try this Ashburn, Its like soul food."

Daisy Do.

Kitchen tools you can count on.

Come on people! Get in the real world!

"How did you do it Dakota? Teach me to run like that! You were like Dash and Flash! Combined!"

Marines.

Enjoying everyone.

"What?"

The Birth Of Jane Eklund

Miss. Brenda came down from Atlanta and spent two weeks waiting for Mom to have the baby (If you know us we're late for everything... Jane was no exception.). Miss Brenda had to get back to Atlanta to tend to her other clients. Appreciate her coming and being here really wished that she could have caught #12. So Miss Melissa who we had never met was back up. Two days after Brenda left... She had to rush over here real quick when mom started to go into labor... and here are the picsies...

Mom and Miss Brenda on her last check up before heading back to A-Town.

"So I'm no longer the baby that gets spoiled and all of the attention?"

Spreading the exciting news.

I have know idea who he is talking to right here.

"Just you wait Jane, You are going to have so much fun with me!"

" I can't believe I have 7 sistas."

The midwife was Awesome!

Taking a peek.

I wonder why Jane is covering her nose like that, She must not like the way Daisy smells. :-

Measuring her feet, I think.

Weighing the little Ninia.

Proud Papa.

Big sister again.

Joel's suggestions for a name. We didn't use any of them. Sorry Joel.

Cool names though.

Lookin good after having her 12th.



Psalm 127:3-5

Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,

The fruit of the womb is a reward.

Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,

So are the children of ones youth.

Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them;

They shall not be ashamed,

But shall speak with there enemies in the gate.

Thank you and please come back.........

Dasvidonia,

Marty
