half + half = whole

Last weekend we went to Charleston, SC.
Jeff & LeAnn wanted to complete a half ironman triathlon.
This is a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike and 13.1 mile run.
We've been training and saying that if we each did a half,
then together we've completed a whole ironman!

Grandpa & Grandma met us there to play with the boys
and to see the beautiful highlights of Charleston.
We couldn't have done it without them - thank you!

Downtown
The Ghost & Dungeon Tour

Fort Sumter

USS Yorktown & Cooper River Bridge


After the ghost tour, we were told we may see
images of ghosts in our pictures.
As you can see, there are no ghosts in this picture.
However, when we used high resolution pk thermal
imagery lens, you can see the image of a confederate soldier
wearing his hat and powder belt...
...wait a minute...that's Grandpa - silly Grandpa!
Eating lunch in the Aircraft Carrier Yorktown's mess hall.
Swim start the night before the race.
Luckily Jeff hooked us up with some gator repellent!
LeAnn finishing up.


Incredible Jeff and our cute boys finish the race!


We did it!
Hey Babe, look forward to many more years
of swims, bike rides, and runs.
Thanks for encouraging me to "tri" and endure to the finish line.
I love you!

The Dirt

Jeff was thrilled when he asked what I wanted
for Christmas and I said, "dirt".
He kept asking, thinking I might change my mind - nope.
Valentines Day, Anniversary, Birthday...I still wanted dirt.
My lucky day arrived and I got 12 tons of dirt - yea!
Lots of scooping going on this week
thanks to my hard working boys!
Now I pray something grows in our very large garden.
