Emilee is looking mighty happy in this picture, but there is a brave story that happened before. Emilee has been practicing and practicing with Max to win the 1 mile race at field day. Everyone lined up and headed out like a pack hungry wolves. Just a few feet into the race Emilee gets knocked down hard. She stands up with bloody knees, but she jumps up and decides to race anyway. Off she goes, way behind. Pure determination and grit make her keep going. She sprints the last quarter of a mile and passes everyone. She comes in an amazing 5th. 
When they checked out her legs, they were so full of gravel that Jason took her to the Insta-Care, where she got 5 stitches. The good part of the story is that the Dr. who stitched her up was the Jr. High School Soccer Coach, and he invited her to try out today. So Emilee returned to school with a big smile on her face, she raced in several more relays and she was the hero of the School. They slipped a Gold Metal in her pockets, which she surely deserved. Emilee your Grandma was so proud of you today. You showed everyone how to be brave!
Here is handsome Max right after he ran over the finish line. He cleaned house and came in way ahead of everyone. He was # 1. Max I am proud of you, but the best part was when you put your arms around Emilee and felt so sad for her. She is lucky to have you for a brother.
Sweet Lucy graduated today from Miss Misty's Preschool. She sang her heart out and announced she is going to be a skater when she grows up. Get ready kindergarten here comes Miss Lucy! It was just a minute ago that Dax and Jace where there.
Abbie took fifth place in her race, she ran like the wind. Abbie has so many fun friends. She has a happy heart. She takes good care of Jayne. I love these Miller winners!
