Wow,
it works!
I haven't put anything on our blog in over 6 months! At first it was the busyness that comes with the end of a school year. Then when I went to post, it had changed and I couldn't figure it out. Spending hours trying to make blogger work wasn't high on my priority list and so here we are 6 months later. I finally decided to "phone a friend" and Wow, it works!
I obviously have missed so much but I will just start with something semi-recent and see where it leads.
For months our family has been praying for my mom's dear friend, Shawna, who was battling breast cancer. When Matt's work decided to form a team in support of a co-worker and do the Run for a Cure, Ben decided he'd like to join and run for Shawna. It was really great for Ben to "do" something for someone he'd been praying for. He is old enough to feel that helpless feeling we all get when someone you know is really beyond our help.
Of course they did awesome! I was impressed that Ben was able to run the whole 5km without a walk break. Helps when you have your runner dad running beside you as motivation. Jonny, Mya and I had just as much fun cheering for all the runners as they approached the finish line. They quickly caught on that anyone running in a light pink shirt was a breast cancer survivor and would cheer extra loud for them. It was a great day as a family and is definately a special memory.
