HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR SWEET LITTLE BOY!

Happy 3rd Birthday Aidan! We love you soooo much! Can't believe you are growing up so fast!

(I'll post pics from his b-day party when we get back in town....still in Austin.)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

We are all packed and ready to head to Austin, TX tomorrow morning for the Holidays. We will be visiting our family and friends for the next nine days. I'm really looking forward to see how Allan is going to pack our car tomorrow morning....we have 3 suitcases, one duffle bag with my shoes, 2 toiletry bags, all our Christmas gifts for both families, and Aidan's birthday presents....it's going to be a tight squeeze I'm sure....thank goodness the trip is just 2 hours.

I haven't blogged too much lately due to my trip to NYC, in Austin last weekend, and my laptop biting the dust...I hope to blog more after the holidays! Here is a picture of Aidan with Santa Claus.

Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas! Love you all!

WE HOPE ALL OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS HAD A HAPPY THANKSGIVING! WE ARE SO THANKFUL FOR EACH AND ONE OF YOU IN OUR LIVES!

Aidan really enjoyed Thanksgiving this year. He told every person he saw "Happy Thanksgiving" and asked if they were going to eat Turkey, pie, and mashed tatoes! :) We spent our holiday here in San Antonio, our family that lives here (the Brinkmann's) had us over for a lovey dinner. We had a great time with them and getting to visit with our cousin, Corinne, who was home from college. We had a fun visit from our friends, The Hodson's, that evening. Derek, Katie, Addison and their dog Hailey came and stayed the night with us so Katie and I could do our annual "Black Friday" shopping trip! Allan and Derek got to be full time daddy's while Katie and I shopped from 4:30 a.m. till 1:00 p.m. We had a fab time as always, but still exhausted!

Hope everyone had a blessed Thanksgiving! Love you all!!

WE CROSSED THE FINISH LINE!!!!!!! WOO-HOO!!

Allan and I ran the Rock and Roll 1/2 Marathon Sunday, November 16th. YAY! This was both our first 1/2 marathon we have ever ran....and the farthest we have ever ran! Crossing that finish line was such an amazing feeling and such an accomplishement for both of us! We started training for this back in August and had fantastic results. My time was 2:07:59 and Allan's time was 2:08:31....yes, I beat him! :) J/K I wanted us to cross the finish line together but when I turned around after we met up at the 13 mile marker he wasn't there and I knew I just had to get to that finish line before I colasped! Our goal was to run it in 2 hours and 15 minutes...so we did well and were very pleased!

I have more photos and more to blog about the race, but I need to go run an errand, so I'll blog later about our memorable weekend!

HAPPY BIRHTDAY UNCLE ANTHONY!!!
