How many will you do?

At school the kids often go to the track and "run" laps around to burn some energy and get some exercise.  We decided to go by the high school today and see how the kids did.  Before we got there I asked how many laps they would complete, Anna said 9, Mason said 5, and Olivier said 54 (he has been on a kick of answering 54 lately).  When we got there, Olivier didn't want to run, Mason wanted to run with Dad, and Anna was off!  Keep in mind, running was a combination of running and walking with more walking but still great to see them out!  Each time they completed a lap I marked their hand with a Sharpie so they could keep track and show school tomorrow how far they went. 

 Matt went to get a high 5 from Mason who denied him.  Poor Daddy! 

Making a snowman!

This is about as close as we can get to making a snowman. :-) They were very proud if their creation.  The next day they asked Anna for some help to make it bigger.

Friendlier bird visitor

We have regular visits from this little guy and his female companion.  Much nicer than our other visitor (a turkey vulture, thankfully just the one time!). 

Matt runs a half marathon!

Matt ran another half marathon and Anna and I went to the finish line to cheer him home!  He had a great time of 1 hour 50 minutes.  And he survived going to cheer on Ciara and Nate along with a short park visit after.  :-)

Anna enjoyed ringing a cow bell as the runners came in!

As he came into view on the home stretch.  And he didn't even notice us.  :-)  Focused!

And as he crossed the finish line.  Way to go!  We are so proud of you and amazed at all that you do! 

Kite flying!

Olivier swings on his own!

Anna lost her first tooth!

Anna has lost her first tooth!  She woke up and it was out so we had to search her bed to find it but thankfully we did and she is ready for the tooth fairy to pay her a visit tonight!  And she has another loose tooth so it won't be long until she gets a second visit! 

We looked in her baby book and it was her first tooth that she got which makes it fitting that she lost it first, and her second tooth arrived a few days later too!
