Getting a kiss from cousin Rigdon. The first few days of this week were spent playing with the Andersons. Rigdon sure likes Kaylee and she likes him too. It's been so fun to watch him sit by her, show her toys, make faces at her, and give her hugs and kisses. All of the Anderson kids have taken several times holding "it". Yvonne can't seem to convince them that Kaylee is a her not an it. They do know her name though.
I was able to pull Tim away from his homework for a couple hours on Thursday afternoon so we could go on a date. We went to the movie theater to see Star Trek. Go to the movies might not seem like that big of a deal to most people, but keep in mind that the nearest movie theater to our house in 400 miles away and requires air travel to reach it.

This kid loves oatmeal! The Blacks came up on Friday so that they could do the Hurdle for Hope race with us on Saturday. Matt, Yvonne, Spencer, the entire Black family, and I ran in the race. I think the idea was to all stay together, but that only last about 1.2 seconds. Jay and Ethan stayed together and Yvonne, Lisa, and Alex stayed together but other than that we were pretty spread out. Anthony ended up doing the 3K race instead of the 5K, but he came in third place. The race involved climbing over hay pales, running through a river, jumping through tires, climbing walls, jumping over hurdles, trudging through mud, and jumping over fire. It was a pretty fun race. I'll do it again next year if I'm around for it.
Saturday afternoon the Blacks, Andersons, Spencer, Kaylee, and I just hung out at the Andersons. Matt got out is 4-wheeler and the adults took turns giving the kids rides around the field. I felt like I was back in Togiak riding on a 4-wheeler with 4 kids on there with me.
Tomorrow is a big day for Kaylee. She gets her helmet in the morning and then we attend her court hearing to finalize her adoption. Wish us luck! After tomorrow she's stuck with us for good.
