Healthy Hearts & A 5K



We left for FL on Thursday afternoon after school and got to Aunt Kathy's house by 5 pm on Friday. We of course stayed up late getting reacquainted and then up at 6 am for Aunt Deannie's Heart Walk. The kids went last year while Scott and I stayed with Grandma so this year we thought it would be fun to join in too....So after a 25 hour drive and only a few hours of sleep we did a 5K with all of the family. It was great fun and the kids enjoyed the live music, free food, inflatable heart system, inflatable rides and free goodies. It was a lot of fun!


For those of you following along who aren't family but need love knowing what we are up to...the participants were: Kyra, Noah, Eli, Autumn, Scott, Grandma Holly, Lucas, Kinsey, Aunt Kathy & Lady Bug. Not sure what happened to Uncle Thai, Papa, Aunt Deannie or me...


Eli was excited to have another "twin" this year in Grandma...she had red hair! What a cute pair!

Back Row: Anthony, Michael, Eli & Kyra  Front Row: Lucas, Noah, Kinsey, Autumn, Dominic, Sydney

Every night we had big family dinners where almost everyone was in attendance. This is the first time I got almost all of the cousins together for a pic...we are missing Cousins Nicholas, Zachary and soon to be cousin Sierra. She is asleep on the couch behind the kids...she couldn't stay awake long enough for our group shot.

You and your family are doing amazing. You must be very strong in love and in Jesus. I am praying for your husband with lymes disease.
Please tell me how MaryAnn is doing. Please give her my love and a hug.
