Maggie and Mason were in Georgia for Easter and we all went over to Beck's for Easter. Mammy, Poppy, MiMi and PaPa also came up and we had Easter lunch and a fun egg hunt! They also had a great time playing on the bikes and big wheels.

Easter with Maggie and Mason
Friday Fellas Easter Play
Our Friday Fellas had an Easter egg hunt! Since everyone had off of school on Good Friday, the older siblings were able to come, too! They had a great time in the wonderful sunshine! Most of the kiddos wore blue shirts for Autism Awareness Day.
Easter Party at School
April 1st was the Easter party at his pre-school. We had hotdogs for the kiddos and a lot of great food for the parents. They did an egg hunt in the courtyard and made a cross craft. It was a lot of fun!!
He has such a sweet little class! We love all of them!!

First 5K
I know, most posts are usually about little guy. But I must brag on myself a bit. I completed my first ever 5K run on March 27th. It was the Atlanta Women's 5K Race. I didn't train at all for the run, but I was VERY proud of how well I did. My sweet mom came along to support me and take pictures since little guy had a baseball game at 8am.
This was the start of the race. With over 2,000 women running at the same time, it was hard to find my groove until about 1/2 mile mark.
Headed toward the finish line! I couldn't believe I ran almost the entire way (I took about 1 mile break).
This was my time as I came across the line. I was so happy I did it in under 50 minutes.
I received my official time the next day. 48 minutes and 36 seconds. I broke that down and I basically ran a 15:11 minute mile. In high school when I was in excellent shape, my best ever time running a mile was 16 minutes! I've never been a runner, so this was a HUGE encouragement to sign up for the next one and actually train. Unfortunately, life is busy and I haven't had time to get out and run yet. I promise I will SCHEDULE time for it and you will see an even BETTER time next run!
