Haha I'm realizing that one by-product of Anna being my only one at home is pretty much all pictures are of her and what she does during the day! ;) I remember she was quite insistent on how she wanted to pose for these pictures.  She kept checking them, then doing some more :) I watched two cute kiddos for a friend.  The little boy, Zach, is in Anna's sunbeam class and then his little sister, Ricki is 1 and just as cute and squishy as can be!  She napped most of the time, and I was anxious to play with her when she finally woke up!

It was a super weird beginning.  There was no one on a bullhorn or no starting sound.  All of a sudden we realized that people way ahead had started running and the race was underway haha It was a beautiful course.  This is from the website, " Runners are set to experience an elevation drop of more than 3,00...
