 She is turning 40 soon and decided to just train and do it. Brother texted she's at 21 miles and still looking good. We're all so proud of her! |

Awesome! What an inspiration!
I find it so impressive when someone decides to run a marathon, trains for it, and does it. A huge accomplishment.  :

That's so sweet of you to say. I also think what an example she is for my nieces. Bro and she are hs sweethearts; one of those rare couples. Wonderful people. It makes me so happy; i love my family tons and their happiness makes me happy.
Now i need to get really inspired and follow her lead. Maybe just a 10k. Maybe just a fun run. Maybe i will walk around the block.

Eva is the easiest baby I've ever had. She eats, flaps about, sleeps then wakes up and flaps about, then eats etc. I keep waiting for the bubble to burst. She's up to 4 hour feeds during the night, so I'm getting a reasonable amount of sleep. Hopefully she'll keep going this way and be sleeping through before too long at all.
I feel like all my Christmas's have come at once!

It's girls, man, girl babies are so much easier. Until they hit their teenage years on their 5th birthday.

Ali can control for that though. Just make sure the Australian equivalent of the Disney Channel is blocked so she isn't taught to be shallow teen at 5 years.

It's not about being shallow, it's about the drama. As in, Minifobette has to put on her shoes because nobody loves her. And lunch is 5 minutes late because the world is a dark abyss. I'd blame the neurological probems, but I'm pretty sure that being a female between the ages of 3 and 15 is, in fact, a universal neurological problem.

My oldest son and his girlfreind, her 2 yr old son are coming over for thanksgiving dinner tonight. The kids come over almost every other sunday, but most times the boy is at his dads. It is just so nice to see the child we were not sure would intgrate back into our lives on ANY level, is now doing so very well. He has held the same job for a year and a half, he lives with his girlfreind and her child. And now... they are expecting! I am so very proud of him.
I'm going to take the dogs for a long walk before they get here, so that Cameron can actually walk around hopefully, without getting knocked over to get kissed and sniffed by my boxers. On the thanksgiving front: Turkey is ready to be stuffed and put in the roaster, ribs have marinated for 24 hrs and are ready to go out on the smoker. Cranberry sauce was made last night. Potatoes and carrots are peeled and waiting. Just have to do the broc, cheese sauce and gravy. I will be making a quick apple crisp as well. Kitchen is cleaned up already, and it is 8 am. I will have all day to spend with family, and look like a miracle worker when I say "dinner is ready".
