100th post! MI/Race

It's been a while again! Since our last blog post, our two biggest pieces of news were that we took our annual trip to the cottage with Keri's family and Keri ran a 1/2 marathon. We spent a week in August with Keri's whole family (including new nephew Arie!). It was a wonderful week with time at Keri's grandma's cottage and at Keri's parent's house. We'll include just a few pictures since it was so long ago!! Mani, again, had a blast at the cottage swimming, running up and down the dune, and getting puppy energy out!!

On September 26th in Columbia, MO, Keri also ran a half marathon with 3 of her accountability friends. It was designed to challenge us spiritually and physically this summer, and that it did. We are all greatful it is over, but all in all, it was a cool experience. It rained for the first 8 miles and was very hilly, but the last 4 miles, we rocked it! Here are the before and afters:

What are we doing?!?!

So happy to be done!
