November

What a great and busy month this has been!!

We ended October with Halloween. The kids a absolutely loved every little thing about Halloween. They went trick or treating at their school (trunk or treat), had a parade and party at school, and went trick or treating on Halloween. They loved getting dressed up and eating lots and lots of candy!!!

I have continued to run a few more races and am actually improving my times. I ran the bridge a few weeks ago and did another 5k with my brother in law Brad- it was his first race and I think he is really getting into running. We all plan to do a turkey trot on Thanksgiving. 

Ellie was able to come and workout with me at Outlaw this month. She loved it!!! It was a family class to raise money for breast cancer. 


I was also very fortunate to go see Bon Jovi! I had a great time!!! I even have the kids asking to listen to him. They really wanted to come to the show with me! 


We had our family pictures taken this month and they came out amazing!

Jack has been having some issues with his eyes lately and we have been going to numerous doctors appointments, and having tests done. Thankfully, he is ok, but he does need surgery to correct his lazy eye.  We are still in the process of going through everything, but it does look like the surgery will be before the end of the year. We have had a rough month with tests, and probably have another rough month ahead.  Jack is doing great and I think the cutest patient! 

The kids saw Santa a little early this year.  They are a great age for Christmas. It is going to be so much fun!! They really understand what is going on!
Mike and I celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary this month! We had a nice weekend in AC celebrating! We also went to my cousin Amy's wedding and had a blast!



This year has gone by so fast. . Only one more month- I can't believe it! We have so much to be thankful for!!!  We know how blessed and fortunate we are and we can't say thank you enough.  We have so many family and friends that help and support us!! 

We are looking forward to another busy month!
