The Clark Family: May 2010

Happy Birthday Chris!

Well - I think Chris' 28th birthday is one he won't soon forget. Thanks to a weekend chock full of rain - we spent Chris' birthday and the week following working on drying out our basement. Fortunately we didn't have much damage, but the carpet was soaked! We threw out the wet carpet pad and once everything got dry we had new carpet pad installed. We are so thankful that we were able to save our less than a year old carpet - and couldn't have done it without the help of family and friends!

Even though the basement was drenched - we still took time to celebrate Chris' birthday by going out to eat and having cake and ice cream. And I sure hope he liked those fans and dehumidifier I got him for his birthday. Oh and the new carpet pad too! :)

30 Weeks!

Here's my picture at 30 weeks - (April 27)

Charlie's still not sure what the big deal is...

Run Taylor Run

WAY back in April...we hosted our dear friends Taylor and Abby. And the top agenda item for the weekend - Taylor running the Derby Festival Marathon in Louisville. This was his first marathon - and judging by how well he did I would say it won't be his last. Abby, Chris and I had so much fun following him around the course cheering him on.

What makes a good cheerleader? I'd say cut outs of someone's head on a stick helps quite a bit:

We first got to see him as he entered Churchill Downs

He was running too fast...but he gave us a lovely orange grin here - with his orange peel in his mouth. That Taylor...always being silly.

Stop #2:

While we waited - thought we should get my 29 week picture out of the way:

Here he comes!

And there he goes...

Getting close to the end of the race - here we are waiting for him to come back across the bridge. Chris thought he'd strike a pose with the new Yum Brands arena they are building downtown. I mean the building is alright...but who cares about watching red birds play basketball?
