Ronald McDonald House 5k and our yard...finally finished!






Yesterday Lily and I were signed up for the 5k run/walk for the Ronald McDonald House. We were on a team with the Chamness's who are big supporters of the house. The team was called "All for Ellie" in memory of Ellie Chamness, Katie and Jeff's baby girl who passed away a couple of years ago. Well, Lily was ready to go, but she woke up Saturday morning with a super high fever and chills. So her replacement, Addison, came with me instead. Here is a picture of our team with Ronald!

The entire rest of the weekend was devoted to yard work...ugh! We had SO MUCH mulch delivered on Friday that it covered our entire driveway. All Friday night and Saturday after we got home were devoted to mulch! I'm pretty happy with how things look now, though - flowers planted, weeds pulled, trees trimmed, mulch laid...only took until late June to get the yard ready for summer this year :) Saturday night we were supposed to go to a work party and a suprise b-day party, but Lily took a turn for the worse and remained sick as a dog. We couldn't leave her in such a state, so we stayed home and went to bed early.

Today is FATHERS DAY! We are so lucky to have such wonderful dads and granddads in our lives! Happy Fathers day to Barclay, Dad (papa), Peter (grandpa), Matt, Joe and everyone else in daddy land!

Thanks so much for coming to the walk Carey and Addy! I am so sorry that Lily was so sick! The yard looks so beautiful. We need to come and see it in the daylight! It seems like each time we are over it is dark. We owe you guys a cookout at our house too! I will see you Thursday hopefully. Quad mtg in Marion Co at your office :)
