Marathon!

Hey everyone -
I know that this page is about Sarah and Molly, however I've decided to join Team in Training to run a marathon to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and need your help. People are diagnosed with these types of cancer everyday, and the faster we find a cure, the less likely someone we know, even our own children, will suffer from these cancers. Anyways, I have joined this cause in honor of a local man who grew up near me, lived in my community, and died at the age of 28. His name is Ryan Waldheger and I've decided to run in his honor because he had a great vision and an amazing strength throughout his short life. I would love for you to read more about him at his website, www.rwrm.org to see why I am so personally committed to finding a cure.
In addition, I need help in raising money towards new research in the race to find a cure. I know we all hate to ask for money, but every little bit helps, and I would appreciate your support immensely! To make things easier, I have set up my own website where you can donate directly online! Please stop by to check my training progress and to donate towards a cure!

Thank you in advance for your well wishes and prayers! I know this will be a tough thing to accomplish - 26.2 miles is no day in the park- but just think of what others are going through in their own battle with leukemia. Please Help.

So sorry we haven't added to our blog in a while...

Not much going on this summer except mommy kickin butt at school earning her master's degree! Sarah and Molly have been learning that it is possible to have fun with each other! I am amazed at how nicely they are starting to play together (sometimes!). I've been going to school everyday for the past three weeks from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., so I ship the girls off to MeMe's (where they have a blast) and I get home just in time to see Daddy taking them up to bed. It's been really hard on me to miss out on the summer with them, but I keep reminding myself that once I get this degree I can relax for a bit. Funny how I seem to say that about everything I'm currently working on, yet when I finish there is ALWAYS SOMETHING ELSE!

I did manage to get a little free time the other day. I was so excited to hang out with my girls in the middle of the day! We took a bike ride to the beach and they had a blast! Sarah enjoyed playing in the sand, and maniac Molly was ready to dive into the lake! We got as far as my knees, and then I had to reel her in! She probably would've kept going if I wasn't so scared to see her sink!

Anyways, we are looking forward to this weekend because Uncle Tegan will be home and we just love him! Sarah is at grandmas and grandpas as we speak to get ready for the annual corn hole tournament tomorrow night. I'm sure I'll have plenty of pics to post after this weekend! Check back soon!
