Cary Roundabout 5K

I was contemplating doing The Battle at Buckhorn so I could try and win the very prestigious belt buckle, but after last week's "I'm so tired" and another busy week that flew by, I decided to stay home and run the Cary Roundabout 5K.One of Marty's belt bucklesThe start was around 2 miles from our house, so the 3 of us loaded up and jogged over. Then we waited in line to pick up our number.I'm a faker. I didn't push Logan, Marty did.The race was fun,...

Just Tired

Today is gone. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one. Every day, from here to there, funny things are everywhere.One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish - by Dr. SeussThat's the last page of one of Logan's favorite books right now.

"I'm 6 and 3/4!" Do you remember doing that? He can say a lot of words, and he says a lot of other things that we have no idea about (was...

Old School Aquathon

We were only able to put on one Old School Aquathon this year, so we picked the 4th of July since that was our biggest turnout last year.  A few weeks ago we were worried because we didn't have many sign ups, but as it got closer we got a bunch so it was a go.  Then Marty put the t-shirt order in, THEN a bunch more people signed up. And we had a bunch of race day signups - this was great for our participant list, but not so good for not...
