A Golden Nugget

As you can imagine, we were overjoyed to find this gem in the recesses of our computer hard drive. Rowan's proclamation about Phoebe's house and his uncle Tom literally come out of no where. Ha! And Bennett was just mere days away from joining the party!

Twighlight 5K

I did it. I ran my first race since I was 15 and training for it was a really great experience. I've reached a point where I enjoy running enough that I miss it when I don't get around to it, and that hasn't happened since I was a teenager. One thing that keeps me going while running is thinking about my mother and how I shouldn't take this healthy body for granted. I should get out and be active every day just because I can.

My favorite part of the race was hearing R yell, "Hey! Look! There's my mom!" A big thanks to my buddy Sharon for running the race with me and to Hamish's parents for sticking around with the boys to support me.  And because of this race, and the help of some of you, we helped raise $425 for cancer research!  My goal was to meet my $100 pledge and you guys helped me blow that goal out of the water!  A heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated and pitched in.  Seriously, THANK YOU!

Now, for some pictures:

Now, off to find the next 5k to run...

Happy Birthday Miriam!

Happy Birthday to one of our favorite ladies! Remember when you came out to visit us this summer? We had so much fun, didn't we?!



Rowan hopes you ate lobster for your birthday dinner yesterday! Did you?

Wouldn't it be nice to go to the beach again? Maybe next summer? The Atlantic or Pacific will do, but why not shoot for the Mediterranean sea?

Happy Birthday Aunt Pamela and Brock!

Happy Birthday to a special dude out in Washington State! We wish we could have partied with you in person for your big day - we thought of you all day long. Rowan wanted to make you a little video involving Hefty the Smurf:


And this is one of my (Aunt Ellen) favorite pictures of you Brock:


Sure love you buddy!

Happy Birthday to one of the kindest and most thoughtful individuals we know! You always remember our birthdays (any special day really) and we have so much fun when we're with you. Did you get to sleep in? Did you get breakfast in bed? Rowan wants to know if anyone gave you a back rub?

We wish you a very happy birthday on this fine Saturday. We wanted to make you a video too (sorry Heath was such a grumplestilken):


It's ok, Pam. You can be dad for your birthday if you really want to.

We love you and can't wait til we get to hang out again. Maybe this next spring??

(This video was too fun not to share. Disclaimer: our bathtub is nasty. Don't mind the permanent black grunge in the corners. The good news is we're remodeling this winter. Hooray! Btw, why doesn't this kid have the birthday song down pat by now??)

Happy Birthday Auntie Tara!

Auntie Tara is sending this big birthday month off with a bang (there have been a lot you know). Oh how we wish we could be there to celebrate with you! We hope you are having a fun filled birthday and that you are getting spoiled right now as we type this. We actually took a video just before this one, but Rowan went on and on about a certain birthday day cake you made him, the one with a certain green colored frosting that...well you know. Although the first video did make us all laugh, I thought it not appropriate for this here blog.

Meanwhile, enjoy this (there's a surprise at the end- wink wink):
