Cheering them on!

Today we cheered on and handed out water to the participants of the Dick Beardsley 1/2 Marathon.  This year there were over 2,100 runners.

Little Carter, Lilly and Charlotte came over for a little play date.  Patty stated, "Carter, who are  you talking to?"  Carter - "I'm talking to you!"
 
 
Just hanging in the laundry basket
We might not have grass growing outside so I'm doing it inside! 
It adds some color to the the table and it's fun to watch it grow.
