Busy Weekend!

We were in town this weekend but that didn't keep us from being really busy! Uncle David was running the White Rock marathon so Mimi came to town to watch and they both stayed with us. Mimi arrived first and brought Brin a fun new book with moving pictures- thanks Mimi!

Uncle Dave arrived and went for a little jog to keep things loose. When he got back he laid down and started stretching and Brin laid down and started copying him. It was so cute!

That night, we went to dinner at a local italian restaurant so Uncle David could get his carb load on... and so we could go ahead and have a carb load as well...you know, to show our support!

We were up bright and early Sunday morning to watch David run by at mile 5. Brinley was less than thrilled with the 40 degree temperature...but Baby looks happy to be there!

Family bonding!

We almost missed Dave when he ran by because he had already shed some layers of clothing. Glad I was a quick draw with my camera and got this shot of him. He barely even seemed phased by the mile 5!

We hurried from mile 5 to the finish line at Fair Park so we could catch him crossing. We cheered him on as he crossed the line at 1:30:06. That's amazing for a half marathon! He actually ended up finishing in 1 hour and 27 minutes and got 80th overall. We were so proud of him!

After the race, we came home and had some lunch then hurried off to our neighbor Maddox's first birthday party.

We got to see all our favorite neighborhood buddies. Brinley was showing off by standing on the walker...she's fancy like that.

But we didn't stay long because naptime was calling. So we kissed Seth goodbye-
wished the birthday boy a great day-

and headed home to try and recover from all the days activities with a nap! That evening we celebrated the season at our church's Advent Worship night. What a fun, full weekend!
