Go, Erin, Go! And Stephen, too!

This morning Erin ran her one mile Fun Run at school. She had warned me that she might be near the end, but she did great! And Lauren had fun cheering her sister on.

Now one mile is quite commendable for a kindergardener, but we must also give a big congratulations to my cousin Stephen who completed the New York Marathon last week! Many family members were on hand to cheer Stephen on.

Tip: Lizard in the house?

How do you know if there's a lizard in the house? Get a puppy!

Tip for moms: Too many stuffed animals?

Get a puppy. :)

We had a happy halloween!

Our first Halloween in Georgia was a hit. We had fun trick or treating in the neighborhood. All the kids (and parents) went from house to house in a group. (When it was your own house, someone had to dash inside to hand out the candy). Since no other kids outside the neighborhood venture down our court, the kids got spoiled by the neighbors. I even convinced Lauren to put on her ballerina outfit at the last minute! Then we ventured over to our friends neighborhood because we didn't have quite enough sugar. :)
