Here is a video of a dad who did not let his sons parapelgic condition slow them down.

Eighty-five times he's pushed his disabled son, Rick, 26.2 miles in Marathons. Eight times he's not only pushed him 26.2 miles in a Wheelchair but also towed him 2.4 miles in a dinghy while swimming and Pedaled him 112 miles in a seat on the handlebars--all in the same day.

Lily must have a fear removed from her dna... I wonder where that comes from.

Fashion Alert

I got this email from chris, where he shared a pic he and erin took of bridget who passed out while playing dress up.. i will spare you all pics of chris riding his trainer indoors....

Hi friends and family,

We just checked on Bridget before turning in and found 1 child wearing her ballet tights, shin guards, dress shoes, a mini skirt, 2 spider rings and a giraffe ring, a slinky bracelet, a pedometer at her waist, a beaded necklace, lip gloss, a super-girl t-shirt and a pair of navy tights on her head like the guy at the car wash. She went to bed 4 hours ago.

Chris & Erin

Billy bed

It has become obvious to me that i have a soft spot for Sophie. How could i not when her first days were spent under neon lights, getting more shots than i have had in a lifetime and she had a clubfoot.

"What does not kill you makes you stronger", if this is true, lily watch out.. you have one tough little sister.

"D" I am a sleep...

After a long train ride along the scenic connecticut river sophie decided to take a knap, but that did not stop Dan a.k.a "D" from continuing to point out things of interest...

Barb Marley

Jen has a knack for finding the coolest little shirts for the girls, must be all that free time at work. Lily is only about half as amused with the shirts as we are, she would rather wear a horse than her Bob Marley shirt, or Barb marley as lily would like to say.

Lilys excitement was not because of Barb, it was the miniature pony "tater tot"she was about to ride..

Sisters

This morning Lily really wanted to a be big sister and hold her sister.. there is just one problem, her sister is bigger than she is.. The two of them are really starting to interact with one another, mostly when sophie is stealing lily's toys and lily take them back.. First toys, next clothes!
