Griffin

Molly and Hillary ran the 5K and Mira played in the playground. She didn't want to quit so I could watch the runners come in a get a picture. I said, "Don't you want to see Mommy run?" and she said, "Yes, I do." Then, "Actually, NO, I want to play here. You go on, I'll stay right here." Needless to say, I didn't let her stay right there. This run was smaller than the Zoo run last week when I totally missed Hillary at the finish line. This time I was able to find them and get a picture of them at the end.

We then took Mira to a great Children's Museum. She had a wonderful time and playing there for a couple of hours combined with getting up early for the run totally wore her out. She took a nap without too much complaining. She and Uncle Benny played all evening drawing circles and squares.

So why is this titled 'Griffin'? Griffin was sick. Brooks and Hillary talked off and on throughout the evening and they finally decided to take him to the Children's Mercy Urgent Care in the Northland. Hillary thought he would get a breathing treatment and go home. Instead, he went by ambulance to be admitted to Children's Mercy. Brooks stayed with him at the hospital and he was doing better by this morning. Hillary was able to get an earlier flight this morning and was at the hospital by noon. They are keeping him another night and he will probably go home tomorrow.

Tomorrow I head to Columbus, Ohio where I will be until Friday at noon.
