I am so blessed! On Sunday morning Joel brought me breakfast in bed. He called it, “breakfast in your bed”. He told me it was because it was my “Muvers Day” and I ran fast at the race. He brought me Cocoa Puffs (I’d say about 24 puffs floated in a very full bowl of milk), a banana, and who can forget the cotton candy for dessert!!! (The cotton candy was left over from the Viking Fest carnival). He also place a toy on the tray and made a little card (an envelope with his name written on it). I have to say, the official Mother’s Day was great (one of the best), but Joel’s decision to have another was truly a treat. He worked so hard to get it ready and was so eager to treat me special.
Joel, you are a remarkable boy with and incredible heart! Thank you for showing me love, with both your words and your actions. I am blessed to have you for my son…
What a guy! On Saturday (the 15th) You ran your first race! It was 25 yards long and you took off like a pro! There were quite a few kids there, so the organizers split the race up into 2 waves of girls and one boys wave. However, as in your common fashion, you zoned in on the task of GOING! Forget the order of things, the minute you heard “GO”, you took off!
I wasn’t quite ready for your take-off, so the best picture I got of you actually running, was of your back - and barely. You are so fast!! At the end of the race you were given a ribbon, and you even got your own water bottle and orange slice - just like mom did!!! Way to go buddy!
Saturday was the Viking Fest Road Race. I signed myself up for the 5 mile run, and signed Joel up for the 25 yard run for 4 & 5 year olds! My race started at 9 am. Joel’s “race” was scheduled to begin at 10:15. I was concerned… I hadn’t run or exercised at all for over a week. By race day, my goal was to finish my race in time to see Joel’s! OK - that would give me one hour and 15 minutes…
