Updates & such: Visitors

Long break from blogging. So busy. Lots of work. Lots of kids. Little sleep. But alas, my public needs an update.

We were treated with some awesome visitors a couple of weeks ago, beginning with an overnight stay from my sister Amanda, bro-in-law Clint and nephew Ethan. It had a been a year since we saw them last so it was great for the kids to get together and learn about each other. We had a blast touring PTC in the golf cart and spending time catching up.

After the family visit, our good friends Chris, Misty and their kids Cole & Caia visited for four days. The boys loved having new live-in playmates and it was great to catch up with old friends. Jason and Chris also raced in a local triathlon during their visit. Unfortunately I took a big-fat ZERO pictures... oh well, next time!

Race expo fun

Jason & I ran the Atlanta ING half marathon on Sunday. No pictures of that, but I'm sure you can imagine what it looked like: a bunch of people running down a big street. The day before, we took (dragged) the kids along to the race registration expo. Thankfully they provided something to entertain the youngsters:

Of course, Grant didn't meet the weight requirement... go figure. He sat quietly and watched.

Back to triathlon

For the first time in a long time, Jason competed in a triathlon this past Saturday in Peachtree City. It was a sprint distance (.3 mi swim, 14 mi bike and 3.1 mi run), so not an Ironman, but difficult in its own respect. Evan, Grant and I were all there at the finish line to cheer him in. Didn't get any action shots, but here's one of Jason with the rest of our friends who competed.
