pigs CAN fly, cassady (yay!), virginia (wah!), the half-marathoners we know & random lottie sue photos

Lottie Sue took the long road when it comes to walking. It's a long story built mostly around her not wanting to do it but all you need to know that as of last Friday - SHE WALKS. It is, how they say - a miracle. We are so proud of her, see for yourself!

i want to buy her a pony
(if you watch until the end you'll hear lottie sue say "i fast!" - it's adorable)

Another HUGE thing that has happened: Cassady Lee Wilson is here! Patterson had him yesterday and everyone is doing well. I think that Patterson was in labor for about 15 minutes, it was the fastest delivery ever. Carrie and I went over to meet him yesterday and he is so sweet and SO CUTE! Mom and Dad are doing well, they go home today! I won't post any photos until they update their blog, I'm not gonna steal any thunder.

But before I get too ahead of myself...the Wilsons had a going-away party for Kat, PJ and Jasper last weekend. It was super sad but super fun because we were all together. We promised to visit/call/email to keep in touch. And I only have one photo of Jasper so I stole this one from Kat's blog - um, could he be any happier here?

hi guys!

The next morning we went to Neyland Stadium to watch Megan and Tommy cross the finishe line for the half-marathon. It was FREEZING, I tried to keep warm while Lottie Sue clapped for everyone (love the yawns).

sleepy much?

As we were waiting we heard a few of our friends finish so we took a few photos. Way to go guys!

this is brandi about to cross the finish line

megan and tommy make it to the finish line

and here is maureen looking strong - woo hoo!

And I will leave you with a few photos I took with my phone of Miss Thing. The quality isn't the best, but you get the picture (hahahahahaha).

Random notes of interest:

• The latest issue of Vanity Fair had this excellent article in it about Bernie Madoff - go buy the issue or print the out and read it. Fascinating.
• Jupiter's Giant Red Spot is shrinking. Wow.
  

OK, over and out.
