Micah Knows His Animals

I have been meaning to post this for months now.  I finally got around to it.  Micah loves learning new animal sounds.  I think all kids love anything to do with animals.

Marathon Weekend

A week ago was marathon weekend at the Aull house.  We had my cousin Deana, her friend Kathy, and my college roommate Steph and her boyfriend Bill here to run the marathon.  It was a fun filled weekend!  I thought it was one of Luke's life goals to run a marathon at some point, so  back in January I signed him up to run the full marathon.  After signing him up for the run, he claimed that it had never been one of his life goals to run the marathon.  But he went along with it and trained for his first marathon. 

The first 16 miles of the race went smoothly.  Around mile 16 Luke started to cramp up and had slow down a bit in the race.  It was a hot day which did not help. Luke did finish the race which is a huge accomplishment.  After the race he spent awhile in the medical tent recovering.  The first couple days after the race he said he would never run a marathon again, but just yesturday he mentioned he might consider running it again.
