Oh, Dad, stop, you're embarassing me! I am just finally looking through Ellie's blessing pictures and I found this priceless gem. Only six weeks old and already has the sense to be embarassed by her parents.
Here is Ellie cheering me on from her front row seat as I start running again! Using the couch to 5K app from my Uncle Doug, I have now finished the first week! Seven more weeks and I should be back in 5K shape (just in time for the cruise)! Which will lead to my ultimate goal: Bolder Boulder 2012! Last year, Ellie and I walked it with the delightful company of my brother Ryan. But with Ryan gone, no one is left to walk with me. So, I need to get in shape to run with Todd. And I'm putting it out there on the blogosphere to give me some accountability.
Who out there can tell that is an elephant made from Ellie's handprint? This was an idea stolen (but much more poorly executed) from my cousin Erika. And on the back it says "an 'Ellie'-phant never forgets how much she loves her uncle Ryan". It's for a package for Ryan the missionary. Thoughts?
