Update

Yesterday I did another marathon, this time in Richmond Virgina.  It was very cold out, around 25 degrees at the start and warming up to a sunny 37 by finish time. I had a good time but I am much more sore than after my previous marathon just 3 weeks ago.  Overall I am very happy and proud of all the races I did this year and look forward to next years races!

When I came home from Richmond I was greeted with a very colorfully decorated Christmas tree - tons of colored balls, lights and tinsel!   I know the boys had fun setting it all up :)

Today we finished making our family tree project for school.  This is Dexter's first big Kindergarten project.  Last week we selected the pictures of the family and printed them out, then we wrote on the back their name and place of birth.  Then Dexter and Dan found some tree branches and we attached everyone to the family tree.  Dexter will present his tree to the school on Wednesday so we have a bit of practicing to do to remember which state everyone was born.  We have Connecticut, Wisconsin, Illinois, California, Florida, Massachusetts, Maryland and Ohio represented on the tree!
