The
Family That Runs Together...
What better way for a family to spend a couple of beautiful
Saturday mornings than to get out and run! Allen entered his
very first 10K in Lafayette on May 31. Two weeks later Robin
and Mitchell joined him in Flora, Indiana for the annual "Hog
Jog". Robin ran the 2 Mile Walk, Allen ran the 10K, and
Mitchell completed the 500 meter "Runt
Jog"! |

Allen finished the Flora Hog Jog 10K in 49:43,
beating his previous time by 2.5 minutes |

Mitchell looks pretty focused just before
the start of the 500 meter Runt

A
Visit From Massachusetts
In April we had the pleasure of a visit from two of our very
good friends from Massachusetts! Nancy Saal and her son Adlai
from Worcester came to spend some time in the heartland. Robin
and Mitchell took them to the Fair
Oaks Dairy Farm. They also visited the Children's Museum
in Indianapolis, and spent some time on the farm at the Pearson's
in Independence. One thing for sure - they have discovered that
things move slower in Indiana! |

Nancy and Adlai ride the Fair Oaks tour
bus to go see two calves being born |
|
Even though they didn't find any mushrooms, they
were still able to experience some of the farm life! |

Mitchell and Adlai take time out at the dairy
to pose for a picture on the cow statue |
|
Gracie Pearson explains to Adlai and Mitchell
why the cattle have to have shots just like they do |

A
Long Winter
Well...if
you remember back to February 2, Punxsutawney
Phil saw his shadow and predicted six more weeks of winter.
He only missed it by about six weeks. We had cold weather throughout
February, March and much of April. It
was even snowing during the Easter Egg Hunt! That didn't stop
Mitchell. |
|
|
There were plenty of chances to
throw snowballs those chilly weeks! |
|
|
The poor frog decoration on the back porch
has been buried a few times this year |
|
|
Mitchell checks the new February
snowflakes for ripeness |
|
We know this has nothing to do with winter... we just
realized there are very few pictures of us on here! |

Mitchell's
5th Birthday
Yes,
our little guy is not so little anymore. Mitchell's birthday
came a week after New Year's, and he was very excited to be
turning FIVE. Instead of a cake, he wanted a giant chocolate
chip cookie this year. And, he wanted it for breakfast! We spent
the afternoon at the Buccaneer
Bay indoor water park. Then it was back home for some presents! |
|
|
Mitchell blows out the candles on his birthday
cookie...first thing in the morning! |
|
|
You just have to love a good water slide
when the weather outside is cold and rainy |
|
|
Buccaneer Bay indoor water park is one of
the best-kept secrets in Lafayette |
|
Mitchell wanted some of the new Cars
characters that were released recently
