Avon Walk for Breast Cancer 2009

5/2/2009 Day 1 of the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer Washington DC. We walked 13.1 miles (1/2 of a marathon). Luckily it didn't rain.

5/3/2009 Day 2 of the Walk. Unluckily, it did rain -- a lot! 13.1 miles in the pouring rain for 5 1/2 hours! The best part is that we are all still speaking to each other!!

Alexander is a now Hokie!

Alexander is transferring to Virginia Tech this fall! We are all very excited and very proud of him! I'm sure Britt will miss having her brother around at school, but HPU and VT are only a couple of hours from each other...

Happy Birthday Dirk!

4/26/09 We celebrated Dirk's birthday a couple of days early! Grandma Sawin and Andrea came over and joined us for a birthday dinner. I must say that it was pretty delicious! Not being much of a cake eater, we got eclairs instead - yum!!!
