Bavaria- TEAM ELLYN

My beautiful sister called a few months ago and told me that she and Pa thought the family should run/walk Sean's Run from Autism, a 5/10k taking place in Portland in behalf of our little Ellyn. So Meags organized it with both sides of the family and Saturday morning our amazing, wonderful family met together and ran/walked for Ellie. Cory made t-shirts for everyone and I have to say they are very stylish. So on the Stinchfield side Kenn, Adina, Buffy (baby Noah in-vitro), and Buffy's mom Terry participated. Barb had been planing to do it but after finally finding out that she had a stress fracture in her foot she was obviously out of the running (hehe). So she volunteered to run Adina's kids to all of their games so that Adina could run. On the Bennett side it was mom and dad, Brinders and Julia, Cory and Meagan and the four cutest nieces and nephews ever (in a tie with all the others of course) Jack, Bennett, Wil, and Hazey Mae. We had several first placers in their age group and a few seconds as well!

I can't begin to express how much I love our families. We are so, so blessed. They bring so much joy, happiness, and love into our lives. Thank you all so much. You are our very best friends and I think you are all amazing!
love, Brooke
