Running the Baltimore Marathon

Ha! Totally not something I would be doing - 'cuz I'm not the running type. Lucky for us, Nick's cousin Bethany is. She ran in the Baltimore marathon this morning. After going through the course via a virtual map I was exhausted. I can't believe she ran all that way. GO BETHANY! We're so proud of you. She finished at 4 hours and 50 minutes. That amazes me.

So, why was that lucky for us? We were able to give David and the girls a place to crash for the night, so Bethany and the other runners could get a good night's rest. It has been over a year since we've seen them, so it was a wonderful visit. Gigi and Madeline are adorable, and we had a great time playing and catching up. We're sorry we weren't able to see you, Bethany, but Thanksgiving is just around the corner. 'Til then - happy recovery :)
P.S. Candy, Gigi was excited to show me the pink cowgirl hat you gave to her!

I love it. Does this mean you guys are coming for Thanksgiving??? If so, HOORAY! So glad you could help the Payne's out. We agree that the girls are so adorable.That picture is perfectly them - Gigi smiling and Madeline trying to decide if it's worth even a little grin.
