Grampee's 18th Marathon!

Today Grampee had another great accomplishment...he ran his 18th Houston Marathon!  Yesterday we all celebrated with a family pasta dinner before Gamee/Grampee headed to their hotel.  We made signs for Grampee and all read him bible verses we selected so he could take them in his fanny pack.  Yes, this is the ONLY time Grampee is allowed to wear a fanny pack.  Even with the chilly weather, Grampee did an amazing job with a completion time of 4:34 and an average mile time of 10:27.  Grampee trains for months to accomplish this and we are so proud.  We stayed home due to the chilly weather this morning for the kids (Caelin is getting over Strep from earlier in the week), but kept in touch with the new Marathon App and texts from Gamee.  Cade especially loved watching the green dot (Grampee) progress toward the finish flag on the new app.  He had to have the computer next to him all morning saying "Go Grampee GOOOOOO!".  We laughed so hard when Cade saw the final picture of Grampee with his medal.  Cade's response was, "Congratulations Grampee, YOU WON!"  That is exactly how we all feel, Grampee was the big winner today...we are so very proud of you!
