September.........

September is a blur.  The 1st Saturday in September I ran my very first 5K,the Hero-Up.  I signed up for the virtual 5K, since I wasn't able to be in Oregon.  I got up early, and was out of the house by 6:20.  I didn't have a course. I just used the map my run app on my phone to guide me. I ran my entire subdivision, every cul-de-sac, every street, all over.  I saw parts I had never seen before.  I finished the 5K before I made it home, so anything after that was jut a bonus time. I have never been a runner.  Nor do I see myself every becoming one, but being out by myself, running, listening to my music and watching the sun come up was something amazing. I did have explosions of walking, don't think I  am some person who can just run 5K and think nothing of it. I can't wait to do it again next year, and I have plans to do another one or two in the spring.

Me after the run, and the amazing shirt, bib, and thank you note I received for doing the 5K!

My parents came down the end of September for a visit. Now that my mom is retired, they are always off gallivanting some where. After spending a week and the Oregon Coast, they came down to see us for a week. The kids were of course happy to bake, ride bikes, play on Oma's iPad, paint nails, and hang out.

Love this one of my dad getting Trent in the ear. Trent got off easy, usually that finger is wet!

The kids are playing so well with each other. Trent is very patient being what ever Verona wants him to be. Usually he is the groom, prince, doggy, to her bride, princess, owner.  

Verona has a set of twin babies that are girls. She has named the Velma and Daphne. We may watch too much Scooby Doo (only the original series, none of that remake crap).  I asked her how she can tell them apart (they usually don't' have clothes on) she got mad,and said "Because I'm the mommy!!!"  Good to know. 

They got this block puzzle a few years back as a gift. They have never ONCE been interested in doing the actual puzzle side of it. Instead the like to build the 16 blocks as high as they can. Lately, they have been working together to build the blocks as high as they can on top of the coffee table without tipping it over. They finally achieved their goal, and they were super proud, so proud that they requested I take a picture.
