The Running Men

Slowly but surely, a lot of Jason's friends have become quite the gym goers.  Even Jason goes to the gym 2-3 times a week, like clock work, and has gained 25 lbs of mostly muscle in the past year and a half.  But what is most shocking to me is the runners.  His brother has run the NY Marathon twice, the second time in well under 4 hours.  Mike hit the marathon circuit this year.  And Chuck started with marathons, moved on to 1/2 Iron Man, and then the full Iron Man triathlon.  That is a 2.4 mile swim, a 112 mile bike, and then you finish up with a full 26.2 mile marathon.  Holy cow.  That was not enough for ole' Chucko though, he is currently training for his first ultra marathon.  That is running ONE HUNDRED miles.  In one day.  And quickly at that.  Seriously, that is running from downtown Athens, to downtown Atlanta... and back.  Of course he's not content just finishing, he's actually been competing in all of these things.  To say that I am impressed is such a massive understatement!That was my long explanation of the pictures.  Those who know these two goof balls would probably wonder seeing their new skinny state with no explanation. 

Mike has a work thing in Atlanta Monday, and was able to maneuver his way into a Saturday morning flight.  Jason picked him up at the airport yesterday, and they headed straight to downtown Athens to watch basketball.  I can honestly say I haven't seen Jason that excited in a while.  Chucko headed to Winder today to claim Mike for the night, and I had fun laughing at those three.  Jason was only slightly jealous that our baldy looks more like those two than him.

While the boys played yesterday, I headed to Atlanta to J's brother's house.  I had a class on photo shop from 3-5, and Cat & Justin agreed to watch Hardin.  It was the first time he has stayed with anyone but our moms, and he did just fine as expected.  He loves watching Cawley do anything, and laying on the play mat kicking various toucans and hanging things with Lillian.

You'd think with all that learning I did I would edit a picture or two.  But I didn't.  Now I'm even more intimidated to touch them, so for now I'm posting them off center and all out of color balance and such.  
Now I added a few edits.  Still have NO clue what I am doing but it sure is fun!

After my class we attempted to take a picture of Lillian to match Hardin's new one... that was taken to match Cawley's old one.  We should have done that before the class.  6pm is not the optimal time to photograph a six month old.  Nevertheless, we got a few cute ones, but will try again for "the one" to go on the antique buffet at Mimi's house next to the boys. 

     Had to do the crazy eye picture.  That was unedited color, the other pics don't do her beautiful violet eyes justice! 

Out of focus :(

My favorite was really out of focus and covering her chin.  Still adorable though!

Is that not the sweetest little innocent face you have ever seen?  Oh I just love this little girl.

The fancy pants I couldn't wait to get on her.  Another one of Hardin's personal shopper's masterpieces!

Sweet Cawley entertained Hardin while Cathy and I played with Lillian.
