The BolderBoulder was made all the better this year with the addition of Josh to the family run! He did so great. His favorite part was the finish line and getting sprayed by hoses throughout the course. Rusty and Josh ran together and Halle and I ran together. Halle was doing amazing throughout the first…
Dear Blake, This is the second birthday letter I am typing today because you deleted the first one while you were playing computer games 🙂 Happy 6th birthday to my fun, energetic, creative, imaginative boy. I love you so very much. You are the best snuggler, and if I am out for a run when…
It has been a cold, rainy month of May. So, Blake’s end of year picnic included coats 🙂 We have just loved his Kindergarten year and all the friends he has made. Mrs. Brown has been the perfect 2nd grade teacher for Josh. He has grown so much as a student. She pushes them to…
Little Miss Halle graduated from 5th grade! What a surreal moment for her parents. We are in awe of this kind, sweet, smart, vastly talented little lady. It was such a fun day! Black Rock has a tradition where K-4th grade line the halls of the school. The 5th grade takes one final lap around…
It’s my favorite weekend in Erie! We all got up early, and as part of out BB10k training, we ran up to the golf course to watch the balloons launch. It was a little touch and go with the weather, but finally the balloons were up up and away! In other news: It’s been raining. …

I had the fun opportunity to plan the decor and theme for Blake’s Kindergarten Celebration. It was so much fun to do! I just love Kindergarten. The kids are so sweet and so excited about everything. They performed some very awesome songs, watched a slideshow detailing all the fun they had this year and then…
I am so very proud of Halle, Josh and Blake for setting and achieving their 100 mile goal this year. Black Rock got a grant to host 100 mile club every morning before school. We chose to go 2 days/week. We’d get up a little earlier than normal and be to school at 8am ready…
I don’t think I can really do justice to describing April 20th, 2015. I am simultaneously so inspired and grateful, and so very disappointed in the outcome. In the days leading up to the marathon, the forecast just kept getting worse and worse. As the day arrived, there was 100% chance of rain and wind…
