Race/Birthday Weekend

We had a great weekend in New Bern at Mike's parent's house. It will take me a few days to sort through the photos/videos, but in the meantime, here are a few photos/highlights.

Mike, Shannon and I did a sprint triathlon on Saturday morning (Shannon's 1st, my 2nd, and Mike's 4th).  Mike was sick and did it anyway (slow & steady on the bike and run...which of course is my every-race pace :) - what a rock star.  Peggy and Bob brought all 4 kids (our boys and our niece, Mason). We loved having a cheering section! Here we are with the kids after the race.

We also celebrated Griffin's 3rd birthday (which is today). I can't begin to explain how excited he is to be turning three. He's got his "I'm 3!" fingers figured out and he's been wearing a HUGE grin everywhere.

Peggy made him an AWESOME dog cake and Grandma Peggy and Grandpa Bob gave him a super fun soccer net for this birthday (we'll be practicing a lot, preparing him to start playing at the Y in September).

Glad you had such a good weekend! I bet Griffin was so excited to be turning 3; I know Annie and Izzie were over the moon for their 3rd birthday. Now they can't wait to be 5 (completely skipping 4 I guess).
