Mom's back

My brothers and I were very close growing up and still are.  I have a picture that brings back some memories, which is the photo on this post.  When Mom was single she would run a lot of marathons and half marathons with her friends.  She left for a weekend to the Oregon coast to run a half marathon.  I never have understood running marathons and such.  The greatest distance I've ever ran was three miles, and I only did that to complete a requirement for scouts.  When I finished I said to myself, "Well I'm never doing that again."  I actually never have ran that kind of distance since, sad to say.  Anyway back to Mom.  We always did miss her when she left for whatever reason.  And as you can see in the picture we were very excited to see her when she came back from Oregon.  In that picture she brought us headbands and T-shirts from the race and we were very happy to receive them.  Hayden (the littlest one) didn't have one because he probably would have been swimming in it.
