Easter

The Easter bunny found his way to Horizon...and the boys found their first bow-ties!  (aren't they handsome?!...not to mention we're preparing for "the" upcoming wedding)  We had a great time this weekend in Cashiers with our families and spent Easter morning celebrating Christ's resurrection at The Church of the Good Shepherd followed by the traditional Easter brunch and egg hunt at the Chattooga Club.

Du the Asheville Du - Team 236 takes 3rd

Team Training Wheels fielded a 3-person relay team in yesterday's Du the Asheville Du (5K road run : 10+ mile off road bike : 5K trail run) on the Biltmore Estate.  It was a chilly (temps in upper 30's/low 40's) morning, and thankfully the rain stopped about an hour prior to "go-time".  With a total time of 1:43:37, we finished 36th out of the 121 individuals and teams that participated.  And in the 3-person relay team category, we placed 3rd out of the 10 teams.  Kuddos team!

Avery 31:31 run (5th fastest in 3-person relay team category)
Transition 1 0:28
Herb 43:02 (5th fastest in 3-person relay, averaging 13+ mph)
Transition 2 0:29
Bobby 28:10 (fastest in 3-person relay)

Angel

William was sitting in my lap this morning and asked me to look at a picture on Bobby's night table.
So I asked, "Do you know who that is?"
William knew. "It's you."
"Right. And do you know when it was?"
"When you were an angel."
(Talk about making this mom smile!)

Turtles

Ever since I can remember, William assumes the "turtle" position (grab towel, cover up, assume fetal position, try to stay warm) whenever he finishes bathing.  And somewhere along the line, Thompson decided to follow suit. For some reason, last night I was struck that the habit continues.

 

Runners, take your mark

How the boys (and take note of William) get ready for a lap around the track at the gym.
