Our Little Athletes

Here are some highlights of the older two in their recent athletic endeavors...

Karis perfecting her back handspring.  She has landed it, without help, a couple times at home.
Ethan kicking the game winning goal in the last 3 seconds of the game against his teams big "rival". 

Last week we ran in our church's Hustle for Haiti 5k.  We had every intent of getting some training in beforehand, but that didn't pan out with our crazy schedule and rainy weather.  We ran once the week before...at which point Karis decided she no longer wanted to do the full 5k.  The morning of the race, though, she changed her mind, so I pushed Natalie and Levi in the double jogger and ran with her. I was proud of her for running more than she walked and we came in in right around 37 minutes. Over 200 people participated and we were in the top 90!  Ethan took off after the first half mile and we cheered him on when we saw him around the half way point.  He finished in just over 28 minutes, for third place in the 12 and under age group!  

I have two more videos I want to upload, but I think I'm overloading this post.  If you care...look for Part II in the near future.
