This morning she ran in her first 5k with Uncle Ron. She ran the entire way and finished in 27 min, 30 seconds. Uncle Ron could probably have finished the race in first place, but he was a great running buddy and kept pace with Danielle. They were probably in the top 20 finishers, though. She did a great job for her first race. You can tell by the big smile on her face that she had fun and was proud of herself. Thank you for a great experience, Uncle Ron!

| It was very chilly this morning! |
 |
| She was being a tad uncooperative. |
 |
| She told Uncle Ron she didn't have enough energy to sprint to the finish...and then she raced ahead of him to finish first. I'm pretty sure he let her win. |
 |
| Love those smiles!! |
We enjoyed a yummy brunch at IHoP and then went to play a doubleheader with Danielle's fall ball team. Danielle pitched during the first game today and did a great job. She doesn't pitch much any more, but she had a good time doing it today.
We went straight from fall ball to a start of the season party for the organization her new softball team is part of. It was a big deal with lots of girls from several teams. The teams scrimmaged each other, had skills competitions, tried on new uniforms, and had a cookout. It was a long afternoon, but it was fun. This was the first time the girls played together in a game situation, and they did a great job. It looks like her new team has a lot of potential. Danielle is already making good friends.

| They only played 2 innings in their scrimmage. Danielle played 2nd the first inning and center the second. |
We should know better, but somehow she keeps impressing us. She doesn't do anything half heartedly, and she seems to have an endless reserve of energy. It was a fun day.
