It was so fun to get to share in the excitement of the event and cheer on all the athletes. James and I agree we were really glad our kids got the chance to see so many people using their bodies to be healthy and active. Our kids love running and can often be heard saying "I'm a good runner" as they wear paths in the carpet from one side of the house to the other. I wonder if someday I will watch my kids run in the Boston Marathon?
The first of the mens elite. The guy in orange (center) Merga took first place and Hall to the left in White took third place. Sorry this one's blurry.
Brian really liked giving high fives!
This was our spot on the route. We were joined by our good friends. That isn't me sitting down. I was taking the picture.
This is the guy on two prosthetic legs. Awesome.

Wow, that does look awe inspiring. I wish I could have seen it and better yet, participated in it!
I'm impressed! Derek's dad said the conditions were terrible too, and it's one of the harder marathons with all the hills... miss you guys!
Thanks for the pictures. It's fun to see your family in action. Michelle had some great pics from her visit to your house. I can't wait to get there myself. Love you all!
What a great experience! That's awesome.
I just watched a show about people training to run the Boston marathon. By the time they got to the race part, I was all teary. Wow, I bet that was so cool to be there.
Okay so this is a totally random comment so delete it if it weirds you out. I was reading seriosly so blessed and read your comment and yours is the only story that rivals my own that I have heard. I had a two year old then I had a baby and got pregnant at 4 weeks(while nursing ooops!) My oops baby was a little early so my two in the middle are almost 9 months apart! I didn't read too much on your blog (I felt kinda naughty) but you have a daughter and then had triplets less than 9 months later? WOW NOw you can be THAT LADY! you go girl!
Wow, how fun to see it and cheer people on!
