Run, Run As Fast As You Can

This year my husband, Steven, decided that he was going to run some races.  All these years  of running in the Army have gone to waste when he could be running and getting a free t-shirt out if it.  Recently, he ran the Philadelphia Marathon.  I am not a runner; someone would have to be chasing me with a sharp object to get me to run that far.  However, I must admit that seeing all of the people there at 5early in the morning jazzed about running, the Rocky theme song blaring over the loud speaker was almost enough to make me want to take off running with then. Then I came to my senses.

We had a great time cheering on the thousands of participants!  It was amazing to see the different ages, sizes and abilities running this race.  We had a wonderful time exploring the city of Philadelphia and seeing some of the amazing sites like the Liberty Bell and eating some great Philly Cheesesteaks!

The Wilson Family

The Wilsons are one of the loveliest families I know.  In the year and half I have known them, I have never seen any of them without a smile on their faces.  And their children!  They are every parent’s dream.  I’ve asked them before what they drug or threaten them with.  They are just that well behaved and sweet! 

On the day of this photo shoot, the children were perfect and the entire group was smiling despite the FREEZING temperature!!  The arctic winds blowing off the Hudson River would have put most people in a mood that might lead to less-than-great pictures. Not the Wilsons. No one complained through their chattering teeth.  They were such a joy to photograph, I hope they give me the honor and privilege again.
