our big race

Last Saturday the day of our big race finally arrived. We had the boys and James thought it would be great fun to bring them with us, at first I thought he was crazy. In the end however, James was right! This was one of my favorite memories with the Quigley's! Last minute we borrowed Emily's jogger (thanks Em, you saved the day!) and were off to the race (we read scriptures on "running" on our way). It was a gorgeous fall day and even though we arrived after the race started it was no big deal. We accomplished our goal of finishing in under an hour and we even ran a lot. The little guys did awesome. I am so proud of us. We can do hard things. What a team! We are already looking forward to next year. Who's joining us?
