Race for the Cure

I have had many requests to post these photos and I am now getting to them, due to some unforeseen circumstances I haven't been able to post.


We didn’t have a Mother’s Day at our house we had a whole Weekend! The festivities began on Friday night when we arrived at G&G Snow’s to spend the weekend. Max gave grandma part of her mother’s/g-ma’s day gift a little early for the race, a race for the cure T-shirt that we made for Max to wear (she wanted a shirt for Max but they didn’t have one in his size).
The race was the next morning, up and ready earlier than normal (for Max) was the big event. Max was excited to wear his “special” shirt (which started his love for “special” things- you tell him anything is special and he will immediately want it. Yes, it is good and bad). We raced our hearts out (really had a nice jaunt for all 5 kilometers and made it to the finish line. Nana Deb met us at the finish line for the ceremonies, which is one of my favorite parts.

All of the survivors come in by their anniversary (remission anniversary). (can you find Phyllis). We got to cheer on G-ma Snow and sweet Marion her neighbor. We went to watch Phyllis at the race last year and we loved it so much that we wanted to be a part of it and can’t wait for many more years of not only the Race but with grandma!
After this wonderful morning Clu and Steve went shopping for the Mother’s Day menu (they cooked all the meals) and made a pit stop to the golf store (of course). Phyllis and I had a nice relaxing afternoon and got to sit and visit, I just love to visit with her, she is such great company. That night the boys went to watch Iron Man 2. They love to watch movies.

Sunday we got to sleep in while the boys slaved over the stove for a yummy breakfast of fruit, toast and eggs (Clu knows what I love). We enjoyed reading the newspaper and visiting while Max couldn’t get enough of all the toys. Before we knew it, it was time to head to church. By coincidence Clu, Max and I were coordinated in our attire (I am not that organized for us to match so this was a great opportunity for a quick picture. Attending church with G&G was a real treat. Max got to sit on Grandma’s lap and almost fell asleep. After Church the boys again slaved over the stove and grill (while the girls and Max napped) to give us a wonderful dinner of Steak, veggies, bread and Nana Deb made a delicious chocolate cake.
“All good things must come to an end” and so it was time to head home and back to real life. It was a special treat to spend the weekend with G&G Snow. Living so close, we don’t have “sleepovers” very often, but it made for a perfect weekend….THANKS!

What a great post! Thank you for journaling our wonderful weekend. I think we should do it again... soon. Just because you live nearby,doesn't mean we shouldn't be having sleepovers every now and again.
