Well, Katie got her first taste of a Cross Country meet this past Thursday when we went to cheer on my old runners from when I coached at FA. They did a FANTASTIC job! Gabi and Sean who are both in 8th grade are great runners and challenged everybody! (Anne-Marie wasn't able to come to this race...) Gabi outran all the girls and captured 1st place, go Gabi go...and Sean finished a few behind 1st for the boys...I think he got 4th, super job! Sean got some encouragement from Justin as he ran which I think made him run faster! :) I forgot to get their times, but know that right now they both can put me in the dust. I think that Justin is going to run in the Autism run in downtown Raleigh with them in Oct. and I will make sure I post that too! Last year in the Autism run all three of them placed and won money!
I love this group of kids and am so excited to see they have enough runners for a girls team and a boys team. Last year we only had a three dedicated runners now they have 14! Also For those of you that don't know what that means to have a "team", a team is a group of at least 5 girls and then at least 5 guys. Runners can also run as individuals too. So in CC runners place as a team and as individuals.
And Mrs. Moss is doing a wonderful job taking over for me. She loves the sport and the kids as much as I do! GO CC!
We decided to take our first family vacation to the mountains this weekend! We took Katie to the apple orchard and stayed at our very favorite B & B-The Inn Around The Corner. Katie did very well, with a few fussy spells. She thoroughly enjoyed seeing all the other kids and being in the cooler weather. If you can tell the shirt that she is wearing says..."I love apple trees". Below are a few of the pictures that we took, enjoy! (still borrowing the internet...)
Well, this is Katie's first outfit that is smocked. It was homemade by Mrs. Sandra and it beautiful! The part that is smocked is the blue stiching at the top. She wore it to church last Sunday!

She did have an opinion about one song though...
