Talin's bedtime prayer...

"Thank you for this wonderful day, God.  And thank you for my family...even the ones that don't live with me. 
Amen.
Oh, and thank you for my mom making me a sack lunch today.  It was good.
Amen."

So sweet....

♥ This seriously made my heart smile! ♥

Franny loves Biscuits & Gravy as much as Talin.  :-)

Franny spent a lot of time playing with all Talin's toys.

Reading library books on our last night with Franny. 

We hope to see you again in 2 years, Franny!  Thanks for being a special friend!

Marathon Relay

I participated in my first marathon relay...it was HARD but FUN!  I was lucky enough to run the first leg which started at 7am in the nice cool temperature BUT it turned out to be the longest (7 miles) & hardest (VERY hilly) leg.  No complaints though...the breeze felt great!!! 

More info on The North Face Endurance Challenge can be found here.

Our relay team...thank you to Kellogg Interiors for sponsoring us!

Great support system!

Talin even brought Franny along!

Weekend visitor...
