I Can't Help Myself

Yesterday we were in Portland cheering on my son and daughter at the Portland Marathon. I'm not sure how many parents get to see both of their kids run in their first marathon on the same day, but we are so proud to be counted among them! So, 26.2 miles later here they are standing past the finish line.
I'm so tired I think I'll take a nap! LOL

What a great day. I am sure they were as happy to have you there as you were to be there. Congrats to the runners.

Mom on the sidelines is always a boost for kids at their athletic events. It's so nice you could witness their marathon.
What a great achievement for both runners!

Huge contratulations!!!! My husband has ran 9 of them....and I don't think he is stopping anytime soon... :) How fun for both of your kids to experience it together. :)

I also get tired watching things like that. One of my sons is supposed to be in a marathon this month and we have watched him in a couple previous races (one was a half iron man). I can't help wondering why they do it.

You've probably already answered this question but where did you get the pattern for the 1/2 square flag quilt? I have to make that!! Thanks.

Jantine said...

Cheering them on must have been very tiring then... Of course you were proud, that is quite an achievement!

Martha said...

What a wonderful accomplishment made extra special since they did it together and you were there to cheer them on.
