Happy TWO NINE andrea!

...what a difference a year makes, right? Dre actually started this trend awhile back. Imitation is the best form of flattery, no? So here we are.

Andrea wanted to celebrate in Canton on Friday so, with the kiddos left in the indulgent and fabulous care of Nana, off we went. We shopped. And shopped. And shopped some more.

THEN - yes, there's more! - we got up bright and early to run in Thundering Sneakers. This is our third year to run together and it has sort of turned into a tradition. Back in August or September Dre called me up and said, "Hey - we running Thundering Sneakers this year?"

YOU BET.

Every year that we have ran, we've been proud of something. Last year, Andrea was pregnant with Pete. So, this year as I ran beside, in front of and mostly behind Andrea I thanked God for another year of friendship, a healthy new baby, a new marriage, and a new relationship.

It was so much fun to have the kids, husbands, boyfriends and best friends together. Weird at first - but SO MUCH FUN. You just can't be more thrilled at watching two of the cutest children alive cheer their mom across the finish line.
