Our Hero

Today my sweet boy crossed a major item off his bucket list....he ran and finished his first marathon!!!
As if training for 4 months in temperatures ranging from 107 to the 30s and running over 400 miles in the process wasn't enough, Mother Nature decided to torture him today of all days.  His first marathon (and last if you ask him...today) had to be in the freezing cold rain!  So, sweet Ames, we are so very proud of you.  What an amazing lesson you taught our children today about setting a goal and working to meet it...no matter what gets in the way.  Quite an accomplishment...we always knew you could do it!  Way to rock the Rock!
