Missing Craig

Criag,
We're missing you just like we did at the Jazz game. However, we're really glad you're not sick:)
Hope the London Bridge won't fall down while you're running across it!
We really, really miss you. Thanks for your note!
Love, Addy and Aubree

Love Craig

Happy Halloween!!

Scrapbooking

I've been doing some digital scrapbooking. It's addicting!

Addy just said the cutest thing. I was telling her that her dad was going to be gone for a long time (he's going to Havasu for a 4 week rotation), and she replied, "I don't like it when you guys leave for a long time, it won't work for me."

It doesn't work for me either, Addy. I wish we could all be together all of the time.

Murder Mystery!

Thanks for the yummy food and great fun!
Ben and Susan sure know how to throw a party!!

Kami Banks

I am so thankful to my friend Kami. I had some meetings in San Diego this last weekend, and Kami and her family took great care of us. Kami watched Addy during the meetings, took us to the airport, cooked us a delicious dinner...and we got to play at the beach. Addy had tons of fun with Brynn and Aubrey as well. Thanks so much Kami! Can't wait to see you in December (I've been telling people you're probably coming, so don't let us down!)

St. George Marathon

The marathon was this last Saturday. It was a great day for a run! The air was cool, the breeze was a tailwind, and most runners are happy, friendly people. We all had a great day and made our goal finishing times!

Amber the Amazing!! My friend Amber is an incredible runner. She finished in 3 hours 4 minutes. Amber, you truly are an awesome person AND runner! Great job!!

Happy Birthday Lauren!!

My little sister is 12 now. Lauren, only 4 more years and you can date and drive!!

Swiss Days 2007

Swiss Days is a Santa Clara tradition of celebrating our Swiss heritage. Our family tradition is to run the annual Swiss Days 5K fun run. This year made for the most memorable Swiss Days adventure in a long time. The morning was beautiful.. an overcast sky, slightly breezy cool air. Perfect conditions for running a 5K. Then came the downpour. It was really exciting though. There was a double rainbow over the finish line and the rain felt nice.
Addy ran/walked the whole way!! With much help and encouragement from her uncle Nate and her sidekick, Sadie. I think they had a great time.
Addy won a trophy for being the youngest runner/finisher! She got to ride in the rainy parade. Although it rained on our parade, it was one of the most entertaining parades I've ever been to. My dad was the announcer at the end of the parade (because whoever was supposed to do it didn't show up). He had some good jokes. We all huddled under the tent with him to watch our Addy in the the parade.
