Greg and I did the Rock N' Roll Half Marathon the next day in VA Beach
Definitely the most difficult thing we have ever done
had to do LOTS of stretches afterwards so that we could walk the next day
My blisters were pretty severe on the back of my heels
ouch
Thanks to Dukes we were able to do the race while she watched Ava
She entertained Miss Ava the whole weekend
Ava always giggles when Dukes plays with her
Happy girl
Our Cheerleaders
Dukes gave Ava a corn cob and Ava was so excited that she waved it everywhere
She would STILL be chewing on it right now if she had her way
Beach day with the Haseltons on Monday
playing with Laura
We tried to do cartwheels. It was a mess.
Of course Hazy and Greg show us up by doing hand stands
Bocce ball games later where Cali killed all of us. She had an advantage since she is a softball champ
Hazy was good too
Greg tossing the ball
I have ZERO upper body strength so I did not help our team out.

Hazy (who is a Police Officer in Newport News) arrested us. Handcuffs HURT.

Oh Hi!
We had a GREAT Labor Day Weekend. Momma Dukes came to visit for the weekend and hung out with Ava while we went to Julie and Matt's wedding and ran the Rock N Roll Half Marathon. Ava had a great time with Dukes at the pool, reading books, and playing. I have never seen Ava as excited as she was when Dukes gave her a corn cob. She waved it in victory and chewed on it for about 40 minutes. We think it soothed her teeth. We had a wonderful time at Julie and Matt's wedding in Norfolk. They had a tear jerking ceremony followed by an elegant reception. We ran the Rock N Roll half marathon the following morning. We decided to run the race together and go at a comfortable pace so that we could enjoy all the sites. Every mile there was a band playing with cheerleaders cheering you on in between each band. All the neighborhoods had contests to out do each other with spirit parties along the way. Our favorite was a neighborhood that dressed up like penguins from Happy Feet and danced to the soundtrack of the movie. We are looking forward to doing more races together in the future. We are thankful Dukes was visiting because she completely spoiled us rotten after the race by letting us rest all day while she watched the baby and made us yummy food. The following day we went to a BBQ at the Haselton's house in Newport News. We had a great time relaxing and stuffing our face with them.
