Finishing Strong

Last night, our oldest son, Sam competed in his final cross country meet as a middle-schooler. This is the second year he has run on the team and it's been a fantastic season. 

Sam is a very driven and determined young man. One of the neatest things we have witnessed this season is how there was something that finally clicked with him to push himself and do his best to achieve the goals he set before him. 

Sam has consistently lowered his time at every meet and last night set a personal best of 13:13 for the 2-mile run. We are so proud of him and celebrating his success!

  5. That is an amazing accomplishment! You must be so crazy proud of him. Great picture of you all. And YOUR photography just continues to amaze me Christy. SO awesome. I'm soon taking a one hour lesson (a Mother's Day gift certificate) and cannot wait to get out of auto mode. I've read the manuals, watched the videos and read bloggers tips.... and am still lost. We may need to pray for my teacher. :)
