On Saturday our family headed over to the island for Carolyne and I to run the half marathon. After a lengthy and trying 6 hour wait we finally boarded the ferry to the island. On Sunday morning, Carolyne and I completed the Royal Victoria Half Marathon. We finished in 2:12:22, and did it without our usual walk breaks. We are both happy with our race and had a lot of fun. It was a whirlwind of a weekend with us heading home on Sunday afternoon, but looking back (with all the travel behind us) I am disappointed that it is over! I have enjoyed the break that running has provided and the shared talks that we have been able to have without interruptions. Thank you Carolyne for sharing this me. Also thank you for the photos you sent, since our camera had a dead battery when we arrived. I am already looking forward to more running. By the way to all you looking at the photos, we didn't plan on wearing the same outfits, but you can't blame us for both having good taste! :)
As many of you already know, today is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. Here are the candles that we have lit to remember the babies that we know personally. Sadly, we didn't have enough candles for all of them, but the candles here are for them all. I take great comfort in knowing that they are all in heaven and are being cared for by our heavenly father, far better than any of us could have cared for them here. However, I still miss and long for them.
