Race for the Cure

Saturday those of us who could, participated in the Komen Race for the Cure. We've made this an annual event in our family. Because we lost Kristi, the walk/run has special significance for us. I'm amazed at how many people turn out for event.....they estimated 18,000 people would be there, but I'm sure more than that turned out. Staci and Anne-Marie ran the miles, but Michelle, Jasper and I walked. It was so crowded there was hardly any room to move. I took a picture of the crowd.....thousands in front and thousands in back, but the picture couldn't capture the enormity of it all. They had so many people wanting to put "in memory of" tags on their backs that they ran out. We had to put "in celebration of" for Krisit. But that was OK...we celebrate her!! Afterward we enjoyed going after all the freebies they were handing out!! Yey..what a fun day!

WE LOVE YOU KRISTI

GRADUATION DAY

My little girl graduated from college today! It was a long road, but she kept with it. I've been to several graduations and this one was about as different as they come. Instead of marching in to the boring "Pomp and Circumstance", they had a group playing exciting African music. The group marched to the sound of bongo drums and chants and dancers in colorful African tutus. It was great! All week long Staci has been saying over and over, "I'm free, I'm free!"


CONGRATULATIONS STACI !!
