Cousin Time

We traveled to Philadelphia and Washington, DC this past weekend so Harry could run the Philadelphia Half Marathon. We spent Friday and Sunday night with my brother and his family and Saturday night with my sister-in-law, Karen's, sister and family.

Weston, Violet, and Alaina before heading to Philly.

The fun continues, at least for Mikey and Alaina. Weston may not be having that much fun in this picture.

Alaina is in love with her cousin, Violet. The highlight of her weekend was holding Violet.

Harry's Half Marathon

  This past weekend Harry ran the Philadelphia Half Marathon with the Insulindependence team. We went to a diabetes conference (hosted by Insulindependence) on Saturday and Harry ran his half marathon on Sunday.

Alaina and I drove downtown to Philly to see Harry run. Here he is about mile 6.5 about to give Alaina a hug.  

 Harry finished the race in 2 hours and 3 minutes... a new personal best!

Weekend Make-Over

This weekend Harry and I decided to finally paint our bathroom and give it a slight make-over. I have had paint samples rolled on the walls for months, so it was long overdue. 

We painted the bathroom a grayish green. It is very calming. 

We also replaced the builder grade giant mirror over our sinks with 2 gray mirrors. I think it looks SO much better. 

Finally we hung a much needed medicine cabinet. We will have that filled in no time! 

So, for about $130 we have a bathroom make-over!! We still need to replace the lights above the mirrors, so we will keep our eyes peeled for some good deals at Lowes. On Thursday we will have a new washer and dryer delivered. Stay tuned for all that excitement! 

Halloween 2013

This year our little Alaina chose to be a butterfly for Halloween... a blue butterfly to be exact. She had a great time trick-or-treating on our street. She was even brave enough to stay out in the dark (she has recently become very afraid of the dark; she thinks a fox will get her). 

Before trick-or-treating Alaina wore her cool Minnie Mouse sunglasses and princess high-heal shoes. She didn't wear them when we were out for the night.
