Fall Festival

We had our Fall Festival this weekend, the girls had a lot of fun! Leah participated in the cat walk, which is were the kids showed off their costumes. We also entered our pumpkin in the pumpkin carving contest. We won an award for the coolest pumpkin. The girls enjoyed the games, fun house and most of all the Trunk or Treating!

Baltimore Half Marathon

10-11-08-

I completed my first 1/2 Marathon!!! There were 17,000 runners at the Baltimore Marathon. 7,500 of those runners were in the 1/2 Marathon. The rest were signed up for the Full Marathon, 5K and Kid Fun Race. There were about 3 good hills during the first 5 miles, a mile long hill on mile marker 8 and it was pretty much hilly to the finish! I ran 13.1 Miles, my goal was to finish without having to stop and walk and keep a nice even pace. I would have liked to finish faster but I met my goals and now I know what to expect for next year. (I finished in 2hrs. and 26 min) There were so many people supporting the runners, I had a blast!!

Green Meadows Farm

Today was Leah's class field trip to Green Meadows Farm. It was a beautiful day! Leah and Katie had so much fun looking at the animals, going on a hay ride and picking a pumpkin out of the pumpkin patch.

Katie was not afraid to get in there and pet the animals she had a smile on her face the whole time!

Leah and her friends watching the pig races!

Open house at Wesley Grove Pre-K

We had Leah's first open house tonight. We met her teachers, saw her work up on the walls and met some of her friends (her close pals are Dia, Katie and Clara). It was a special night for Leah, she was so excited to show us around. You'll notice she has her leotard on under her clothes because we came straight from practice. She is working so hard in school and gymnastics, were so proud of her! I can't believe how fast she is growing up!

Fall in Maryland

We are so excited to have seasons! It's starting to get cooler and the leaves are changing. We've started pulling out our limited supply of winter clothing. Looks like we need to go on a shopping trip!!

It's so pretty, I'm thinking of taking our family pictures outside! That would make a pretty Christmas card.

Leah had her friend over yesterday, what fun!
I had to post some pictures especially of Katie who was into everything!!
