Only Half Crazy

Our friends, the Warner's gave me this great idea to volunteer for a race that will give you free entry to another one of their races. Sounds great so I did it and roped Chris in too. 

It was so fun! It was a smaller race, only about 150 runners. We got up at 4:15am to get ready, eat breakfast and leave. It was POURING rain! All I could think when the thunder and lightning woke me at 1:30am was, "how many volunteers are going to bail because of the storm?". 

I am so glad I went. It was fun to be with Chris and see all the runners. Our friend Mark was running so we got to support him too!
 When we got home we found this note:
 *Translation
Dear Dad and Mom, you made me cry the day you left me. Do you love me? I love you. Patch. Sign if you love me Patch yes or no

Apparently Patch had a nightmare after we left so he went and got Caely up really early to be with him. It's the saddest thing, breaks my heart. I forgot to be specific with him that we would not be there in the morning.


On the bright side, Christmas came early. My mom gave the family a trampoline for Christmas and decided to let the kids use it now before the snow.

They have missed a trampoline so bad, I think they all screamed when they saw it!

My sweet brother went and picked it up for us while Chris and I were volunteering. Then he helped me put it together while the kids were away.

Thanks Mom!!

Trampoline: YAY! Awesome early Christmas present

Note from Patch: SAD!! What a hard thing for you to read and what a hard thing for him to feel! I hope that as he gets older things get a little less intense for you all.
