It's a marathon, baby!


We are all so proud!!!  Mac and Brad made a pact to train and run the Little Rock half marathon and they did it!!!  They did great, and even finished under their goal time by 8 minutes.  My heart is so joyful for these guys-- whom I love more than life-- that they had these 2+ hours to make a fantastic memory together and worked so hard!  And by the way, Mac is 32 pounds lighter than he was 6 months ago, and loving his new hobby.  Macy and Canaan ask when they can watch daddy and Brad run again, and the boys are already planning the next one.  

Oh, and there was a surprise ending....


The official finish for the boys was 2 hours,  22 minutes, and 6 seconds--a pace of 10.51 minutes per mile.  
When Mac crossed the finish line, he put on a T-shirt with a message for our family.

We are expecting our third child in October 2010!!!  What a blessed day to have all of our family together and to share with each other the joys of life!!!  We have so much to be thankful for.  Praise God for our strivings, successes, families, love, and life.  Our cup runneth over.
