Putting in the Miles

Hi Fam,

Get out your pom pom and whistles, Pam is gearing up for the New York City Marathon this November, 2009. Not just because she's my wife, but she's looking thin and fit. Two more races before the big day, so I will keep everyone up to date. I have a feeling she will clock her fastest time as a marathoner.

At the starting line for a half marathon in Central Park earlier this year, 13.5 miles


Rapping with some other runners:













Streeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetching those muscles
















At the finish line removing sensor; BEST TIME: 1:53:00

Getting back to the Basics

Hi Fam,
Just got back from Seattle Washington where I had one of the best vacations ever. It was very empowering and self motivating. Words can't express how much I enjoyed myself, so I'll let the pics show you: (double click pics for bigger view)

Uncle Gerrit & Aunt Marie, Beautiful people















Brother Tim, Deb, Emma, Kaleb, and Madeline(enjoying the day)
















You think it's easy, try catching your own dinner.

















My luck wasn't any easier by the fact I had to cook this bad boy.

The food just kept coming!!!

Big bother Brent, (wife Deb off side) still at work though on vacation. Congrats to him on his big promotion within the county.
















Finally, how can you not love this place.

Taking it to the Hole!!!

Afternoon Fam,
Big D took it to the hole this summer in her usual style and glamor. Not wanting to quit when down and being from around the way,( Dyckman Projects)her fans, cheered and encouraged her onto a disappointing loss. However, her presence was felt and the game went on to be a nail biter to the end.

Some other aspects to her game was also on hand:
