Evie's First 5k

Evie caught the running bug at Disney World in January and announced a few months ago that she wanted to run a 5k.  I told her I didn't think she could run 3 miles, but she insisted she could.  I took her to the track and told her it would be 13 laps to finish a 5k.  Of course she proved her mother wrong and ran all 13 laps!  She was so excited when our friends Frank and Knox invited her to run the KTC EXPO 5k with them this morning.  She had such a good time!

Mother/Son Date Knight

Chick fil A in Knoxville hosted Mother/Son Date Knight last week.  As if I didn't love CFA enough already, this made me love them even more.  Andrew and I had a great time together!  

 Andrew loved the cow they gave his and was so thrilled to win the drawing for his very own Magic Tree House book, The Knight at Dawn.

2nd Grade Program

Evie got to show off some songs and facts she has been learning about this great state we live in tonight at school.  The Amherst 2nd graders have been working very hard over the past few weeks preparing, and I am so proud of them!  They covered Elvis in Memphis, country music in Nashville, the Cherokee living in the mountains, and of course good ole Rocky Top.
