Mati's First Race

Mati entered her first race today; one I hope becomes the first of many. Judging from how excited she got at the end of the race when everyone was cheering for her, I think she liked it! It was just too sweet... many older kids stayed behind after their race to high-five the littlest kids as they crossed the finish, it was precious.

Before the race, in the stands. The waiting is the hardest part.


At the start... she's over there with Doug somewhere.


At the finish, hurray for Mati!


Getting her medal.

Our family... Mati wouldn't look, she wanted to watch the other kids.
