Pam's Page 36 - "Family Life"

Can you believe it?

Have you ever heard of a Mother running a 5K race with a Baby Stroller?

Well you have now......

Our daughter just completed such a race in Washington D.C., with 1700 other women! Only four of these women were sporting a stroller (tee-hee). I am sooooo proud of her!!

She wanted to include her 10 month son, Levi.....who loves the whole experience. The sidewalk audience would clap for him....and he giggled and clapped too!

ENTIRE FAMILY: The day was additionally special because even Daddy (Tony) ran along side Savannah & Alisa as they enjoyed a special "Kids Race".

WHAT AN AWESOME FAMILY DAY EVENT!!!!

Family Reunions are SUCH a blessing...

To My Sweet Girlfriends-

I felt so blessed to spend time with family this weekend.....

EXAMPLE #1 - My Mother is one of the BIGGEST kids I know! Friday we hit the Mall-of-America, were she was curiously entertained (tee-hee)! She kind of stands out in a crowd! :-)
EXAMPLE #2 - My brother Steve and his daughter Amber joined us at the mall. Needless to say they didn't exactly "BLEND IN".....not even a little (tee-hee)!

EXAMPLE #3 - Then we spent the rest of the week-end at a fun family gathering in Hudson, Wisconsin....

Arrived home today - Florida memories....

Pam's Page 31- "Finances"

We just arrived home from several days at the beautiful Sandestin Resort in Destin, Florida. The sparkling sand of Destin beaches are among the whitest in the world.
Our take away moments are not just about the beauty God created, even though it is magnificent to be by the ocean!

Florida beach vacations don’t get any better than when you are spending time with family, friends and mentors! Our most treasured take away moments are the moments we shared with our precious brothers and sisters in Christ.
