Spring, Is That You?

The signs of spring, and warmer weather, have arrived! Earlier today, Emma was out in the yard admiring our daffodils that are popping open. We love seeing the light at the end of this winter tunnel!

On Your Mark, Get Set. . .

Rounding the corner to the finish line with her friend, Maddie. . .

Trying Claire's medal on for size. . .

Go! This past weekend, Claire completed her very first marathon. She has been logging miles through her PE Department at school since the fall. Saturday was the official race day, and she came together with kids from across the city to run the last mile of her 26 mile journey. Jeremy even got to take part in the event by running with Claire, and guiding and encouraging her along the way. Emma and I enjoyed our view from the sidelines, and we did our best to cheer our runners on. At the end of it all, Claire declared herself "exhausted". Those words are rare around here!

Gung Hay Fat Choy!

In honor of the Chinese New Year, the kindergarten classes at Claire's school dressed in their "Sunday Best" and held a parade this morning. For lunch, the children were going to be served Chinese food. Unfortunately, my unadventurous (when it comes to food) Claire made sure that I packed her a lunch.
