Tradition

2013
Sometimes doing the same thing all the time can seem boring. But sometimes it seems really important. This weekend, the girls ran in the annual Ridgewood Memorial Day Run; Caroline running the 5K and Katherine the Fun Run.
The girls and Rob (and sometimes I) have run the race since we moved here. Rob ran this race as a child and my father-in-law, Frank, has been running the Ridgewood race since the early 1970s.
Looking back through the pictures, nearly the same pose each year, is something. Some years showing dramatic changes and some years nearly none.
But each year showing a tradition growing stronger and stronger.
You can watch time pass with each picture below…

Love traditions too! Sorry I didn’t bump into you at the race. It was a perfect day for running.
Sorry to have missed you too! It really was the perfect day. Our one day of spring it seems as the temperatures begin soaring!
LOVE how you we can see that time pass. (And also don’t love it as it’s bittersweet, isn’t it?)
What a great tradition for your family.
So bittersweet! When I look back at the pictures, time seems to just fly!
