August 20 was the Parkersburg Half Marathon. This was Andrew's third time as a runner in this race. He finished the 13.1 miles with a personal best time of 2:16:04.69. We are very proud of him!
This was my third time as a bike patrol participant. My dad has led the bike patrol for several years. We ride the course and look for any runners/walkers in distress and help them out. This year I gave a woman some blister protection and got water for several participants.

There's a familiar face!
Looking good, Andrew!
See you at the finish line!
Meanwhile at my parents' home, Greg enjoyed the morning with Gran.
"Good morning, Gran!"
"What is out there to explore?"
"I approve stroller rides in pajamas!"
"Let me crank up the cute meter to maximum!"
"That was a fun walk!"
"This swing is fun!"
"I can check out the whole backyard!"
Playing with stacking cups
"This ball looks familiar..."
"I hope Uncle Dave doesn't mind if I borrow his record player."
