Analise has been a busy girl. When her school offered the running club again this fall, we opted for her to run just one day a week. Thankfully it was such a nice fall that she didn't have many rain outs. A couple of weeks ago she came home with her half marathon shirt; it is neon yellow, and she loves it. She also informed me that she want to complete her marathon, and we were down to just a couple of weeks to do it. We decided to let her stay after school some additional days to run. And then one night while I was at an Arbonne party, Brandon took all the girls up to the school so Analise could run more laps. She had already run 2.5 miles after school and then ran another 3.5 miles that night! That was just the boost she needed to complete it.
The next day at school we got there in time to watch her run her last lap.
She was a little like "Mo -om..." when I stopped her for this picture. :)
She was excited to run through the streamers and not so excited I was taking another picture.
She loves her medal. Way to go Analise! Now if you could just get your mother to enjoy running...
On a different note, Analise had some artwork that was chosen to hang on display at a middle school. It's the middle school her cousin, B, attends so we had him show us the board room where it was hanging.
Where Analise doesn't get her love of running or art abilities from her mother, she does get her love of reading! She can read about anywhere and tune everything else out. Ninety percent of the time, that's a good thing. Here she is reading away:

Love all of it! What a neat girl. I was like that with books too...still am but I can't do it as much with the kids and all. :)
Such a fun update! She didn't get her love for running from her Aunt Peg either! Reading yes; running, no! :)
