Mika had Jogger's Club today - it was a little overcast, but other than that it was
perfect running weather! Today, Marika decided to run a lap. This was really unusual, since she's what we call "a lazy athlete" - but she sprinted most of the way and helped Mika to run even faster! Despite missing the first week of the Jogger's Club to our vacation, Mika has run a total of 49 laps (4 laps = 1 mile) so far, as of today. This is great news, because she wins a medal (the highest award) at 48 laps. There are still a few more weeks of the Jogger's Club left, so we'll see how many laps she can run. She's been extremely consistent - except for the first day (when she ran 5 laps), she's run 4 laps every day since. You go, girl! I'm so proud of you!
Grandma came to visit for a visit yesterday until later today. The girls were totally thrilled, since they haven't seen Grandma in about 3 weeks (Grandma has been up north, helping out her sons with their newly expanded families - 7 grandkids total now!). Marika is happy to have Grandma
all to herself while Mika is in school. Here, they are having a rousing game of "Elefun". Grandma never complains about Marika taking an extra advantage or two... =)
