St. Francis Family Fun Run!!

This afternoon Lillian won her 1st medal and trophy! She is so happy right now and so proud of herself. St. Francis had their annual Family Fun Run today and it was great. Lillian was in the 5 year old age group and she stood at the Start line with her toes behind the lines. Then, they announced, "On your mark, get set, GO!!!" Lillian was out of there and I could hardly keep up!

Then, she started to slow down during the race and I grabbed her hand and we kept going. We were not going to give up and let me tell you...that was a long half mile run for this age group! Lillian didn't quit and even over took a boy at the very end. She saw the finish line and picked up her speed again and made it!

And how did she do? She is so proud of herself for not giving up! She won 3rd place girl and it feels great!!!! She tied with her friend, Marissa. She said she knew she was going to win a trophy! It was so much fun this afternoon and I was so proud of her for going to the end. She was thrilled to win that trophy and talked about it all the way home and where we could put it so Lydia wouldn't break it!

Sweet Victory today Lillian! GO LILLIAN GO!!!!

Love you all,

Julie
