This is the only picture I took of the Chicago Marathon...you will notice that none of these runners are the people I went to watch (my Dad, my Brother and Bret). You can read why this is the only picture after the next picture! But, on a positive note, all 3 that I went to support did AWESOME! Phil ran a 3:36; Bret ran a 3:37 and my Dad ran a 3:55. Everyone PR'd (not hard for Phil since it was his 1st!). I was SOOOOO proud of Bret since he ran a very smart race...nearly identical half marathon times! All 3 runners felt great...well, maybe not today (2 days afterwards...they are all avoiding stairs, crouching and any sudden movements).
BEST seat in the house for Marathon viewing...unfortunately this Little E disagreed. He slept like this until all the fans starting yelling, then he woke-up, then he started the famous Govert degrade. The end result, I am still sore from shoulder to waist from carrying him approximately 4 hours and multiple miles (some of which included also pushing a stroller and talking on the cell phone...not a fan of that multi-tasking). He was part cold and really overtired (Govert Degrade), but we are back on schedule, and he slept the entire 5 hour trip home.
Really excited about a trip to see his "cousin" Elizabeth


Chatting it up with Aunt Kate and Uncle Brian on his weekly call with them via Skype
