Race for the Cure in Lansing

The fam and I did a 5k race today — the kids' first one ever! It was a Race For the Cure to benefit breast cancer research. This is pretty important to us, as my sister Eva had breast cancer a few years back and, thankfully, is now doing great.

It was a cool experience to be there, especially because there are quite a few people whose T-shirts indicate that they are survivors, or that they're doing the race in honor or in memory of someone with breast cancer. And in this particular race, there were a handful of people whose shirts simply said "I love boobs." No sense mincing words I guess!

Here's Maria and Joe with the state capital in the background:
