Adam's first triathlon!

Adam has always looked for a physical challenge and this year he decided to take on a triathlon--with only three weeks of training! The Army base in Huntsville host a triathlon and many marines in Adam's unit work the event and collect Toys for Tots. I was a little nervous for Adam to swim so far in the TN river but he had no doubts about it. The kids were great--we stood in the misting rain for five hours. All the events kept the children entertained. Reece was very sad he could not ride his bike with Adam during the race. Adam's goal was 3 hours--he finished just shy of that at 3 hours 15 mins. We are so proud of him! Here is is video of Adam coming out of the bike transition and into the run.

Take me out to the ball game...

Reece has a new love for baseball. More pics to follow but here is a video from a few weeks ago. Enjoy! The best part is when he runs the bases!

A second attempt

I must confess I loved the idea of keeping a blog but fell way short of maintaining a blog. Here is to second chances! The year ahead holds so many unknowns we felt like it would be helpful for all our friends and family if we kept a blog and updated it! So I thought it would be fitting to put a few pics of our "little one" on the blog and R too--since the last ones were from his second birthday! I am also going to try to put a video on. Hope to hear from you soon.
