End of the Year

As it turns out, the various and sundry end-of-year festivities were a good thing, even though getting ready for them was sometimes a challenge.

Mr. D got to channel both his inner Mozart:

(That's his "Yay, I did it!" smile.)

... and, in these "Colonial Conversations,"

... he got to rock a very colonial-looking braid:

Thanks to the all the teachers

who helped make this year

such a great one for our guy!

Running

This is kind of like the Mr. D version of "Where's Waldo?"...

After running 25 miles with me

(one mile at a time!),

Mr. D was more than ready for the final 1.2

(500 kids ran this last leg to complete

the Princeton Kids' Marathon)...

... finishing felt great!

Our next mission was to provide water

to the runners of the 10K that followed

immediately after the kids' race...

they ran right up our street

and they needed our help!

(A special thanks to our friends

who came out to help,

and to the adult runners

who took water and poured it on their heads,

much to the delight of our crew.)
