Past weeks

Life has been busy these days as summer slowly comes alive. I can't believe it's been over a month since i last posted on here. This past month has been a haze of excitement and busyness. Our kids finally got to go to the fair again this summer. This year was kind of exciting as the kids were able to go on the rides all by themselves without the aid of me and Bek. I guess their independance is growing. We toured the rides for more than 2 hours before Michael was looking a little overheated. Overall i think the day went really well although Michael became a handfull to get to bed which is understandable as all the activities he got to see. Good job boys.










Our next biggest event was the half marathon where Rebekah, her sister Colleen and Myself ran in it. This we just completed this past sunday on fathers day. I never knew 13 miles could seem so long. I have never had such an experience such as this. My wife Rebekah started training a few months back and asked if i would join her so i thought i would give it a try. Well 4 months later we finally completed it. Bek finished with a time of 2:11 and myself with 2:00:07. I never thought i could have done it but with thousands of people around you, your addreneline kicks into high gear and your emotions carry you through.What a feeling. Afterwards my sister in law gave us a fun poolparty with barbequed food and the weather gaves us sunshine to end the day.
