Joel's 5K!

Joel started running I believe on January 1st, and he decided he should go ahead and try to train for his very first 5K race. He signed up to run the race in Olathe. A couple weekends ago we all woke up early and headed out to the race. It happend to be absolutely freezing and so windy! I thought Lily was going to blow over. It was really fun to be there and watch Joel start the race and then cross the finish line. He ended up running the 3.2 miles in 21 minutes and 38 seconds! He got third place in his age group and 13th overall out of like 300 runners. He was definitely happy with his results. Lily and I were so proud of him! Great job Joel!

The other pictures below are from when I took Austin, Carson, and Lilyana to the park one day. They had so much fun and the boys were so good with Lily. They helped her do things on the playground and played with her for over an hour on all the equipment. It was so fun to watch them play.
