Goshen College Indoor Marathon

Yesterday I (Matt) ran in the Goshen College Indoor Marathon. For those of you familiar with the Rec Fitness Center track, the marathon was 204 laps around the track. We did get to change directions every 30 minutes!
Amy, Wyatt, and Lincoln came about the half way point to give me a boost with a great “Big Dad” sign. Cade had chess all day, so he wasn’t able to be there at all. They also were there for the last 20 laps. Lincoln was mad then, as I was too tired to acknowledge his waving and yelling “Go Big Dad!” I finished in 3:42:51. Overall it was a good experience.

I think this picture was from the first time they were there. I’m smiling!

One train picture

Just as proof that the boys didn’t go to the Auto Show by themselves on the train!

Chicago Auto Show

The boys and I rode the South Shore train to Chicago to meet Papa at the Auto Show. We had fun looking at the cars and dreaming about which ones we might want day! Oh, and playing XBox 360 Kinect was fun too!

Preschool friends

This week Lincoln brought home Percy, the CCYC 4s class friend. He had a good time with Percy.

Solo & Ensemble contest

The first video is of the 5th Grade honors ensemble.

Cade worked very hard on his solo piece and I think you will agree that his hard work paid off with him playing great!
By the way, he did receive two gold medals for his work today.

Snow day–late

Here are some pictures of the “Blizzard of 2011”. We were all home on Wednesday, even dad! Remember when…
