Terri's Marathon

My sister-in-law decided in the last year that she was going to train and run a marathon this year. So this weekend she ran the marathon in Portland, Maine. She trained with a group whom raised money for charity. She ran with her brother Jim and her friend Melissa. They had beautiful weather and they did a great job!

Dad's 65th Birthday BBQ

This weekend we celebrated my father's 65th birthday at our house. We had a BBQ on the porch and then opened presents inside due to the heat and rain.

Dad with his birthday bear that Aunt Linda gave him. We all got a kick out of it singing "Happy Birthday" over and over again.

Jamie and Aunt Linda hanging out. Jamie was playing the MASH theme and the DUKES OF HAZARD theme on his guitar per request of dad.

Bill and Mom hanging out watching Dad open his presents.

Joe, Terri and Bill were busy reading the SUNDAY GLOBE.

Terri's Marathon

If you haven't had a chance to check out my sister-in-law's blog I suggest you do. It is a great blog about Terri's running developments. Also Terri decided that she will be doing a marathon in Maine in the fall. She will be raising money for leukemia, lymphoma, hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma. Please check out her team's website too. Jamie and I are proud of her!
