| About six months ago we convinced all the kids to meet us in Oregon for a family reunion and 1/2 marathon. We are very thankful and blessed to have such an awesome family! Thank you to David & Brian for cheering for us all and for taking care of the grandkids while we were running. The following pictures were taken by all of us - thanks so much for sharing with us David, Brian, & Stephanie!  |

| We tried to teach Katie the finer points of worshiping cheese - specifically Tillamook Cheese. Our first clue the lesson didn't take was when she ordered a vegie wrap without cheese - when we all got grilled cheese sandwich's... |

| Such awesome kids! |
