Don't forget!

Check out info at the link-it's a biking event (not a race) and you can even rent a bike. I know people who have done this and say is a GREAT, FUN event.

The holidays begin

A whirlwind weekend is past. Whew! The kids and I picked up Matt at the airport on Friday evening (coming from two weeks in Mexico) and then continued on to Grand Rapids where our nephew Will was baptized. We had a nice day at the baptism and with the family at Matt and Kristy's home afterward. AJ and Erin joined forces with Matt's C's nephew and niece and had a fun time. I got to snuggle Will for a little bit! We'll be home until Wednesday and then to Grand Rapids for Thanksgiving and then our nephew Brady's baptism next Sunday. Then Matt's back to Mexico on that Monday. He'll be home before Christmas, though, don't worry!

So, to let the kids get a good look at some goats, I rolled down the rear passenger window in the truck. And it got stuck halfway back up. Tomorrow Matt gets to have fun fixing that so we can drive it again. Of course it stopped working 12 hours after Matt left for his trip. Luckily he didn't drive to the airport and I drove his car the past couple weeks.

I'm toying with the idea of doing an Ironman race in the summer 2010. Opinions welcome.

Happy Turkey day everybody!

Halloween

The kids had a fantastic Halloween. AJ had a class party on Thursday and he and Erin went trick-or-treating on Friday night. AJ collected his candy in his kangaroo pouch. Once it started to fill, the joey got ousted. Erin just had dad carry her basket. It was just a beautiful evening to be outside with all the happy kids and parents.
