The Kelly Family

Madalyn and Savanna went to their first day of school on Wednesday. I thought that by the end of the summer I would be ready for them to get back into school, but I was really sad. Madalyn and Savanna are both gone all day long now, and I have to say I miss them. They really love school though and are happy with their teachers. When I picked them up from their first day of school Savanna said she wished it was the next day already so she could go back to school. Madalyn told me that she has the best teacher ever because they get to have a snack in the morning. (She belongs to me, she loves food) This is the first class she has had with a teacher who reserves time for snacks. They both have some of the same kids in their classes as last year, but a lot of different kids also. They were both so excited to wear new clothes to school and have had fun picking out their outfits. (They are such girls!) I am sure they will do well this year. Emma and I have had a lot of fun together. Her favor

I ran my first 10K yesterday. Tiffani came to visit me kind of last minute, and ran it with me, yay!! It was her first 10K also, and it was awesome to run it together. I had a goal of running it in under an hour, and I was able to meet my goal! I ran it in an even 55 minutes, averaging 8.6 minutes per mile. I ended up placing 4th in my age group. (That's probably just because there wasn't as big a turnout as there usually is though.) Tiffani says she was a rock star and ran it in 57:58 minutes, averaging a 9 minute mile. We both were so happy about our times. My awesome friend Ada and her husband (along with a bunch of great people in my ward) also ran the race. Ada skunked us both with less than 53 minutes. I don't remember her exact time. Nick was really nice and watched our kids, plus Tiffani's kids, plus Ada's kids while we ran the race. He had 10 kids at our house. When I called him to see how he was doing he said he had only lost two kids, so things were great
