We got a chance to spend a lunch with Joe before his departure last week . . . this shot before we had to say 'hasta la vista' to Joe. Bethany is due next month--she brings the Abeyta name into the line of tough Shahas. Be careful out there, Joe. You are always in our prayers, as are Dan and Jake.
Looks like Lucy wasn't sure about Steve's haircut--she had to check him out a few times. Steve got to come see us on leave as he prepares to deploy to meet up with his unit in Afghanistan. Another tough Shaha.
This weekend Wendy and Dave came to town to run the Kansas City Marathon. The rest of us slugs in the photo are along for the ride--to watch others suffer. As bad a photo as this is, the other takes I got in the Panera just before the run were even worse.
Before shot of Wendy and Dave walking up to the start line.
Dave at mile 24--still smiling if you can believe it!!
Finisher Dave--at about 3:18!!
Finisher Wendy who, if you notice the pacer in front of camera, actually qualified for the Boston Marathon with a run time below 3:40. Congratulations to both Wendy and David for surviving, much less turning in such outstanding times.
Yep, we're strong. Nothing can stop us. Who's got the graham crackers?
It was another great weekend! We love you all and you are all constantly in our prayers for your physical, spiritual and, yes, mental welfare.
Love, Mom and Dad

These are great pictures. It seems like forever since we've seen Lucy.
The marathon pictures are awesome too. Thanks for putting them up Dad! The one of all of us in Panera is at least partially explained by the flash on Dad's camera. It totally fakes you out and you think the picture has been taken but it's just getting ready to take a picture of you with your eyes closed.
I think I'm chewing on an electrolyte jelly bean in one of the pictures.
You guys are hardcore, Dave. Thanks for posting, Dad. Lucy is such a pretty little girl.
