Jeremiah and his buddy Ethan. We actually knew them in Ohio, and they were stationed here shortly before us.
Getting ready for kickoff! Since all the players on the each team are U-4 we dont actually keep score so both teams win.

Brian and I and the kids participated in a local 5K where proceeds benefited those injured while fighting for our country. Brian wanted to push the kids in the jogging stroller because he thought I could win in my age category. Needless to say I did not want that kind of pressure on my shoulders. I started out way too fast and by mile 3 was dragging but I did get third in my age category and have a pretty nice glass to show for it. Brian started with the kids in the back because he had the stroller but he did beat me by a minute chip time. Basically this means he never passed me but he ran the course faster than me with the stroller. I guess I need to step up the training or maybe I can attribute it to the fact that he is taller than me.

Jeremiah and Annalise. Evidently both needed gatorade after such a tough race.
Unfortunately, this Halloween both kids were slightly under the weather. Jeremiah wanted to be a night again this year and his costume from last year still fit. Annalise really loves ladybugs so we thought what would be better than to dress her like a ladybug. Our neighborhood is a really great place to trick or treat, and after 3 culdesacs and our street the kids had more than they could carry, and that is not even a quarter of our whole neighborhood. Jeremiah was a old expert at the whole trick or treating activity. Annalise caught on really quickly and was soon knocking on doors and saying trick or treat. She made everyone laugh because she did not want people putting candy in her pumpkin. Instead, she would take the candy from them and turn around and put the candy in her pumpkin. I think she may have been worried that they would take candy out of her pumpkin! All in all the kids had a great time, and Brian and I enjoyed raiding their stash after they were in bed.
Jeremiah the Knight and Annalise the Ladybug. And yes, she did keep the headband antennae on the whole time.

Annalise being miss independent. I think this was the third house we trick or treated at and then right after this picture she did not want to hold my hand any longer.

Whoa, look at the loot.
Of course with both kids having different allergies we had to go through the candy and take out the peanut products for one kid and the dairy products for the other. I really hope Annalise grows out of the dairy allergy. Well we hope you all are enjoying the cooler fall weather. I know we definitely are. Its hard to believe that the year is almost coming to an end. Well my plan is to now update with a montly post.
