Baby Liam Riley Baker!

Aunt Sarah's brand new baby Liam was the focus of our week-long trip to Montana during Easter Break from school. He was 3 weeks old while we were there. He had been born at home (as planned) 2 weeks early (not planned!). Precious little bundle!

O'side Turkey Trot 2008

Look what we did in the rain on Thanksgiving morning! We ran in the Oceanside kids' one mile race at the annual "Turkey Trot!" Zachariah ran in the 7-8 year old race by himself, and Melody ran with Samantha, and Naomi Joy in the stroller, in the kids' 6 and under race. Zachariah and Samantha were amazing joggers, and Naomi Joy was very unhappy, until they gave us apples, Goldfish crackers, and blueberry muffins at the end of the race. Then we went promptly home to warm up and dry off. Thanks to Grandma for cheering us on and taking these great pictures.

Jog-a-Thon: Samantha

We've been part of the Running Club at school on Monday and Friday mornings since October, and the kids have really improved in their stamina and endurance. Look at Samantha go!

SEVEN LAPS! Amazing!











...and here is Samantha's kindergarten class together after the Jog-a-Thon with their teacher.

ELEVEN LAPS! (and no front teeth!)
Way to go, Zachariah!
