October

Of course October has flown by. . .I know, sadly, that time will only continue to go by faster the older we get. It is still REALLY hard to accept. Well, our October has been packed full of fun and goings on and of course I am just getting around to blogging about it. . .I am a broken record I know!

We've had gorgeous weather here in Montana that has just started changing this week, it has been awesome! Last year around this time this is what it looked like

so I am very grateful! Amazingly, we have been to all the Bobcat home games this year without the need for hats and gloves. . . one more to go and I'm pretty sure that won't be the case :)

At the beginning of the month I went to Boston and Hartford, CT to run in the Hartford Half-Marathon with my mom, aunt and sisters. It was a great trip! So awesome to see my family and . . . well . . .the half marathon could have gone better, my sister pretty much had to drag me the whole last half of the race :) We still finished in pretty good time with less than 10 min. miles but I was exhausted! I think I didn't fuel my body enough because after I got some of the yummy post-race apple crisp I was feeling much better . . .a little sore . . .but much better.

As I was off on my adventure for 4 days, Erich was home along with the 3 kids, and he was super dad! We had some help from my wonderful friends so Erich didn't have to take much time off work but he did it all, breakfast, lunch, dinner, bedtime, drop off, pick up, football game, wow! Way to go dad! and everyone survived :)

This past couple of weeks we've just been getting back into the groove of things and fighting colds and what not that come with this time of year. Getting geared up for the start of "holiday" season starting with Halloween. Here's a link to our October pics:
