{the boys running the Final Mile of their marathon}

All in all it was a beautiful, sunny weekend.  The only cloud in the sky was at the marathon.  After the boys run, we could not find them for over an hour.  I really don't want to relive the experience here in black and white, but it was terrifying.  And afterwards, I was just happy to get back home with all 5 members of our immediate family.  Luckily I have great kids who found a nice family and told them that they couldn't find their parents and they needed help.  (Just like their mama taught them.)

Oh, and if you are a nature nut like I am, be sure to check out this live cam of a mama barn owl named Molly and her baby Max.  We've been watching them all weekend and just can't get enough.
