Running and Walking

Today, Darren and I participated in a running event together. It was 5K Run/Walk called the 4th Annual Remember 9/11 Run. Darren ran, I walked. I definitely need to speed up my walking pace (perferably into a run, but we'll see). Darren did awesome, and walked (or ran) away with 2nd place in his age group!

No pictures, since we both participated but the organizers did take a picture of Darren winning the award, we have to do some research and see if we can locate that picture.

Sarina's Birthday Party (ies)

We celebrated Sarina's birthday many times this year.

Party #1: August 31 in Ithaca with Govind, Charlotte, and Mirabelle
Party #2: September 2 (her actual birthday) with Ajji, Tata, Amma, Dada, and Grandma in Maricopa
Party #3: September 7 - a celebration of everything yellow with friends and family.

Sarina is now officially 3 but if you ask her she says "I feel like I am 4!"

More Ithaca Pictures

Some more pictures from the New York trip.

Labor Day Weekend

We always seem to go out of town for Sarina's birthday and this year was no different. We went to Ithaca, NY to visit Govind, Charlotte, and Mirabelle. Sarina had a blast hanging out with her cousin. We definitely need to make going to upstate NY a yearly tradition to get away from the heat of AZ. As the saying goes "Ithaca is Gorges!"

Darren's 2nd Triathlon

Darren joined his friends, Chad and Paul, and completed the Santa Cruz Triathlon on August 10, 2008. He did an amazing job. He swam in the ocean and rode a bicycle and ran through is childhood neighborhood.

Arthur's Birthday

We went to Santa Cruz for Darren's 2nd triathlon which conveniently occurred the same weekend as our nephew's, Arthur, birthday party. Unfortunately, Sarina did not go with us but here are a few pictures from the party.
