Saturdays are for Family

I confess. I DID NOT WORKOUT ON SATURDAY! Peter ran in a fun run at 9:30AM, so I couldn't make it to the 7:30AM trail run. He had a blast! He and Andreas ran through the streets of Crestline, Alabama following behind a motorcycle policeman. My Peter was the third person to cross the finish line with a time of 9 minutes, 30 seconds! Andreas told me afterwards that he probably could have run faster. About half way through the race, he started complaining that his feet hurt. That's no surprise! We wanted to buy him new shoes before his last race, but he said that Mrs. Krueger (his kindergarten teacher that he absolutely ADORES) told him that his shoes were just fine. I teased her about this when I saw her last and we both had a good laugh. So, it looks like we'll be hitting the sporting goods store again soon.

We raced from the fun run to baseball practice where -- lo and behold -- Peter actually hit the ball! I was shocked and amazed and filled with pride!! We've got to work on the catching, but my boy can swing the bat!

Later that afternoon, we went over to the home of friends of ours for dinner. They have three girls (great babysitters!) and a boy (in Peter's class). They also invited another family with three boys (one in Peter's class, one Joshua's age and beautiful baby Chase). What a wonderful time! We talked and drank (I swear I only had one glass of wine -- I don't know WHO kept refilling it!) and ate and had a wonderful time. By the time we got home, both boys were sleeping and I didn't want to ruin a wonderful day by getting all sweaty. Plus, Sherry had planned a 6:30AM run, so I decided to get to bed early.
