WE DID IT!!!

I'm very pleased to announce the successful completion of the Baltimore Marathon by the eldest Groneman child and her humble sidekick. We came in after 4 hours and 10 minutes of running through 26.2 miles of the streets of Baltimore including a loop around Fort McHenry (remember the national anthem?).

Christa ran incredibly strong the whole time and looked very athletic, powerful, gorgeous and graceful throughout. Brigham finished.

So who finished first, Christa or Brigham? In this picture, Brigham is definitely in the lead. Looks like he got the cup of water that Christa was after. Brigham, you didn't litter did you?......

... wow ...

I'm seriously impressed that you ran a marathon. That's an awful lot of running. About 4 hours and 10 minutes worth. You could have watched the Extended version of a Lord of the Rings movie, or sat though all your church meetings & more in that time. Those are hard to SIT through. I don't want to think about running that long.

Nice socks Brigham : )
Seriously, you guys are awesome. I think I might try to take on a half marathon sometime.... it seems like a challenge but yet not suicide. I'll leave the marathons for you!!!

Chad, I'll watch Lord of the Rings with you. Well Christa and Brigham, congrats! 26 miles seems a lot longer now, doesn't it? Now that you've conquered marathons, you should honestly try triathlons...they're so much better

THIS GUY   has to be having a hard time right now in Utah trying to make a name for himself and selling his music given that THIS GUY has quite a musical history too and has more press coverage.   Some people are just born to have bad luck.

Lots of fun happening around here. Kiera going through daddy-withdrawls after steve had to start school again. Poor little lady. Kiera has started trying to draw pictures of people now (see photo above). Kiera has officially mastered the VCR. She knows how to work it and what all of the buttons do. (I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
