See ya Summer!

Hello hello!  Despite Monica reminding me several times last week I still didn't end up writing a blog post... my bad.  Reviewing pictures from the past two weeks though would indicate that not too much happened.

Two weeks ago we put Brooke in a nice dress for church and 8 month pictures.  This may be the only picture that was taken... :)

Brooke has an elephant that plays music for her while she goes to sleep.  It can also shine stars on the ceiling as a night light.  She loves playing with it.  She's learned the little yellow things are buttons, and she'll lean down and knock on them until she pushes them, either turning on music or shining the light in her eyes.  If it's the light button she's pressing we'll turn it off so she isn't staring into the light, and then she'll immediately lean forward and hit it again.  It's a fun game to play.

Over the past two weeks for the most part we've been watching the Olympics.  I've watched a lot of different things, and I think it's a shame that handball isn't more popular!  I was also fascinated watching the table tennis players!

Yesterday was Parker's So Long to Summer race.  Monica and I ran the 10 K.  Here's a picture of us after the race! We didn't bring Brooke because I wanted to try to get a medal, and Monica hadn't trained pushing the stroller. And it was during her nap time.

When we first talked about running it I went and looked up the results from last year and was pretty excited to run it because I thought I had a chance of placing in my age group.  I did a little better than anticipated and ended up being the first overall male to finish the race! Here's a link to the race results: results

Sadly my medal is "broken"  The front of it is blank.  There's supposed to be a little insert with the race logo on it in there.  Luckily I noticed at the race and went and asked about it.  They said they'd get on it, and if I didn't hear from them just to contact them about getting it fixed.

Michael and Oriah were in town visiting various family and stopped by yesterday.  It was fun to have them over and see how Jonathan and Cameron were doing. Of course we had some victory gelato when they came!

With that I think we're all caught up on recent events!  Hope everyone is doing great!
