Run DADDY Run!

We had a fabulous Valentine's Day, cheering Daddy on as he ran the Austin Marathon! This was Matt's 5th marathon - the first marathon he ran was the Austin, exactly ten years ago. My man still has it!

The pit crew (Pops, Nanny, me and Mattie) found Matt seven times on the course, including the finish, thanks to Pops amazing navagation skills. It was so fun! The weather could not have been more beautiful in Austin today and we just had a blast. I can't think of a more fun Valentine's day I have ever had :)

Mattie got SO excited every time we saw Matt running. She would start giggling and then say Daddy as he ran off.
It was a glorious day!

We had a variety of Valentine's themed signs
Daddy, look at my poster!
Check out how good he looks at mile 18! We ran along beside him for a few steps and Sissy really liked that.
She was totally over posing for pics by the finish - surprise.
So this was our family pic - ha!
