Yeah Mom!

Yesterday Hill returned to the running circuit as she ran in the Charlottesville women's 4-miler. While she did not win the race (there is always next year), she did so well and we are so proud of her hard work. There were 2700 women who participated and over $220,000 was raised to fight breast cancer in Virginia.

Claire again sports the pink velour. She was hoping to be allowed to join the race, but there wasn't an age group for her. She cheered loud for mama. She was such a trooper and didn't even get too mad when we dragged her out of bed at 6:20 in the morning. Now that she sleeps through the night, she doesn't want to botheredWe love to be together as a family.
Hill ran the race with a couple of her friends - Jessica and April (an apology to April for calling her infamous in her last blog appearance- an honest mistake (thank you to kevin and betsy for pointing it out)). They all did a great job
What would a blog be without another bathtime picture of Claire? Because she doesn't grow hair very quickly on her head (her eyelashes are longer), papa tried chia head. It is supposed to stimulate growth within 2-4 weeks.
What? A night out on the town? That's right. Nate and Hill broke away from the old ball and chain for a night at the movies. We would like to thank Rebecca for coming over to babysit. Claire was worn out from the day and slept the whole time. She didn't even know we were gone - except for maybe she sensed it.

The bubble bath pictures are lots more pleasant than the failed diaper pictures.

I am so impressed that you ran that race and Claire is only a week older than Talmage!

I was actually disappointed that Claire did not wake up because I was looking forward to holding her.

Luckily Claire is so cute that she doesn't need a lot of hair! Thanks for sending Hill and Claire out to visit us.
