Race to the Summit & Homecoming

Today was a BUSY day for our family!  

September, Megan, Jennifer, and some of their dedicated friends Raced to the Summit in honor of Julie!  Between the three of them, they were able to raise over $1,600 for her!  That is amazing!  What a blessing!  I am so proud of my sisters!  It was a beautiful sight to see today.  I am thankful I was given the job of photographer.  It is much easier to hide the tears of overwhelming love behind my lens.  Here is a post of pictures that I took.  I think they will speak volumes on the love we have for another.  And the support we are gathering for Julie!  


I love this picture of Jennifer and her friend Trish!  Jennifer was beaming as she crossed the finish line!  









September's life long friend Lindsey Niederklein (Tonkin) running for Julie! 




Here comes Megan and Jenny!




Here is the part where I was almost bawling behind my camera.  September ran the half marathon.  She kicked into high gear and crushed that finish line.  It was very overwhelming to watch.  We are so proud of you SJ!!!






The kick a$$ fundraisers!!! 






The Smith Girls Uniting! 










I also had the pleasure of taking Caitlin's SR homecoming pictures!  We met at Mt. View park with her lovely friends and took some pictures.  How these STUNNING girls did not have dates is beyond me.  But I think they were looking forward to porking down food at Old Chicago!   

























On behalf of Julie, I will thank all of you who continue to show support to her.  I know that she is aware of sacrifices others are making on her behalf.  They are not thankless.  The donations, the gift cards, the money for hats......THANK YOU!

Move over Lance Armstrong.....


Julie and Zach decided that they would hit the town on their bikes yesterday!  They did a 12+ mile ride!  They went from the Gauby casa all the way down to Ann Morrison park!  
Julie did awesome!  She and Zach have been going to the YMCA and taking water aerobics classes!  Julie can tell they are paying off!!!
