Tracy! Good for you! That is awesome! (okay, enough exclamation points) Happy feast of St. Joseph. I prayed to St. Joseph several times EVERY day while pregnant with my fifth child (I had two of my miscarriages between baby number 4 and baby number 5, and praying to St. Joseph brought me comfort), and she was born one week early on his feast day. Very special day in our home! (one more exclamation point:)) +JMJ+

Happy Feast of St. Joseph and birthday to your daughter! (exclamation point back at you ;) ) I remember you commenting before about your special connection with St. Joseph during those difficult times! Thanks for sharing again and stopping by! Happy and blessed feast day and birthday! What an incredible story, miracle,and feast day for your family! Enjoy! God bless Annita!

This is so incredibly exciting! Congratulations to you. And St. Joseph? He's pretty special to us, too, since my first born was born on this day. (And he was prayed for for over 6 years...) God Bless.

Congratulations; that is an awesome accomplishment. I wish was young enough to tackle this kind of run. Loved the pictures and all of your support. Yes, you did enjoy lots of family, fun and fellowship.

How exciting to run a race like that! It's an amazing accomplishment. I love it when people do big things that they've been dreaming of; it makes other things seem possible too.

Are you planning a full marathon sometime in the future?

Hi Tracy,
Congratulations on finishing the race! Makes me tired just looking at the pictures, Ha! Thanks for the pictures of my girls and the beautiful St.Joseph Altar. We missed not being there again.
Love, Ms.Barbara and Mr. Richard

Hi Mary Jo!
What a special day for you to have a child born on St. Joseph's Feast day! I hope you had a blessed day celebrating! Thanks for stopping in to read the post and comment!

Hi LeAnn!
Thanks for the congrats and stopping in to read the post and comment! It was a great weekend to share with family and friends! :)

Hi Annie Kate,
Thanks for your kind words and for reading my post here. Full Marathon? Hmmm...right now I don't have a desire to do one partly because of all the training time it takes to prepare for such a long race, but who knows?

Hi Ms. Barbara and Mr. Richard :)

Thanks for stopping in to read my post about the race and St. Joseph. Your girls did awesome and it was fun to be in the race with them...I still like them too even though they beat me :) St. Joseph celebration was not the same without you, but you were in our thoughts. Hopefully, next year you can join the festivities again! Hope all is well! Thanks for your comments!

Totally impressed!!! Good job Tracy... :)

And I love the sign on the fava beans :)

Thanks Kara! The bean sign is humorous! :) Hope you are doing well...It's been so difficult to visit all my favorite blogs consistently these days, including yours! Thanks for stopping by and I need to get over your way soon! :)

Congratulations on your accomplishment Tracy!

Thanks Tricia! Thanks too for stopping by my blog post :) God bless!

Hi, Tracy:

I finally saw your comment over at my cookie blog. Thanks for your kind note.:) I often get that about our St. Joseph altar because I disabled comments last Lent so no one is ever able to comment.:( Oh, well. I appreciate the follow. Oh, and if you need any cookies, let us know!;) Hee, hee!!

Great job on the marathon Tracy, so wonderful that you accomplished your goal. i haven't been by lately to comment due to being on holiday.
Are you planning on doing another one:)?
