Sat. night

Saturday night we had our dear friend Ronda over for dinner and to watch the Iron Man. Our dear neighbors came over as well to share in the elation and heartbreak of that crazy race. It really was quite amazing to watch those people, some super athletes and some regular people, pushing themselves along toward a goal. They said several people had been couch potatoes 2 years earlier and not able to walk several years earlier. That is some crazy determination, but encouragement that these bodies God has given us can be trained and conditioned. I'm not really seeing myself ever going that far, but I will root for those who do, I may even have one from my own home cross a iron man finish line one day! We will see.

The kids were quite entertaining. Little L was her usual fit-in-with-the-big-kids self. They were serving us dinner when she came walking in with Cinderella High heals like she wasn't adorably cute. When we asked her to show them to us, she pointed that toe like she had professional shoe modeling experience. She came in several minutes later pushing her hair back to reveal her new stick on earrings, "Look mommy, I have earrings." B then dressed her in a hot pink gown, matching shoes, a strand of pearls, and a fuzzy hairband. So silly! And so fun! She was so pleased with her little self. She kids served us so much food, we couldn't bear to eat it all, H served most of it as a puppy. HH joined us at some point and watched the rest of the race. It was a nice, fun evening with really fun friends and playful kids.
