Veterans Day Race

On Veteran's Day we bundled up the boys and ourselves and walked in a 5 K. All the proceeds go to military families with deployed spouses. Nolan and his buddy, Evan, ran for about half of it. I mean, truly RAN! It was impressive. Some of our friends ran the 5 and 10K and Kristy even placed 3rd overall for 10K. It was a really fun morning, which we finished with a big breakfast at a diner nearby.

The ladies before the race. It was really cold until we got moving. Cheryl, Kristy, Jess, Dawn, Mairead, & me:

Nolan & Bri crossing the finish line. Nolan was convinced he "won." We told him he was definitely a winner!!!

Awwww...

They fight. They steal toys. They hit. But they do love each other.

Innocence

Nolan fell asleep on the couch and I was able to practice some photographing...much easier to figure out when the subject is still. But what I really love about these is how he still holds so much innocence and sweet baby boyness when he sleeps.

Here I put the main focus on his lips.

On this pic, I put the focus on his eyelashes.
