It’s funny how babies will sleep through anything – even a mob of 2,500 people at a 5k run.

Photo of the Day: Can’t Get Enough of Those Spring Flowers
I’m thoroughly enjoying the bright sunny skies and warm temperatures. Yesterday I went for a run through several neighborhoods near my home, and I got to enjoy the scenery with everyone’s flowers and trees blossoming. (Side note: I’m not looking forward to temps plummeting into the 30s later this week.)
Photo of the Day: City of Fountains
Kansas City is known for its vast number of fountains, second only to Rome. This fountain in the Quality Hill district is one of my favorites.

I love how these bright yellow tulips are just reaching for the sun!

In honor of my birthday today, would you please consider making a donation to the American Cancer Society Relay For Life? The Society is celebrating its 100th birthday next month, and it’s the official sponsor of birthdays, so the cause couldn’t be a better fit. I’m just a few hundred dollars away from my $1000 goal. Every amount helps!

The tulips are finally starting to bloom in Kansas City now that we’ve had a few spring-like days.
Photo of the Day: The “Look”
As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, this past weekend we attended Purple Stride, a Pancreatic Cancer Action Network 5k. After seeing my twin cousins’ facial expressions in this photo from the event, I couldn’t help but share it. If you wrote your own caption, what would it say?

This weekend my family participated in PurpleStride, a 5k run/walk for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. This year’s Kansas City event has raised $297,000 – a HUGE growth for its third year. The best part about the event? It’s more than just a walk. It’s more like a carnival with booths, thousands of people, and a huge kids activity area complete with a blow up slide, face paint, crafts, and popcorn and cotton candy. I love how this event is raising awareness about pancreatic cancer. In 2013 45,220 will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in the U.S., and 38,460 will die from it. Hopefully fundraisers like this will change those grim statistics.
See my photo from the inaugural Kansas City walk.
Photo of the Day: Happy Earth Day!
I couldn’t think of a more fitting photo to celebrate Earth Day than from one of the most beautiful places on earth – Glacier National Park.
Photo of the Day: In Remembrance of Mr. Miles
My sister had to put her sweet cat of fourteen years to sleep yesterday. I’m not being biased when I say he was the sweetest cat I’ve ever know. I don’t even say that about my own cats. It’s so hard to lose a pet, especially when you have to make the decision about what time is best for them. Mr. Miles Smiles…you’ll be dearly missed by the entire family.
