Visit to Georgia

Keira was on fall break and since daddy was finishing up the Oct. 15 tax deadline, we decided to go spend 4 nights near Atlanta at Grammie and Gary's house.  We left Friday after school and Kylie survived her first long car ride.  Saturday, we went to the aquarium and the kids had a great time. We spent all afternoon and stayed till it closed. Of course, they come out with souvenirs as we left the gist shop.  Sunday after church, Grammie and I took the kids to a nearby farm.  Grammie and Gary's sunday school teacher and his wife own the farm and have a maze and all the activities to go along with it. It was a blast!!!  I really like that they charge one admission price and you get to do everything. Here at home, we have paid admission price and then bought tickets to do other things. The farm was so nice and clean!!  I loved it!  We spent 5 hours playing! Monday we did some shopping. Kids loved their neighborhood and especially riding the golf cart around. They are ready to go back!! 

Color Me Rad 5K

On October 6, I ran my first first 5K in 2 yrs. I had not gotten to run as often as I would like, but with baby, time is short, especially since she wakes up often through the night and early mornings. I would love to get up at 5 or 6 and go run while the family is asleep, but, that is just not happening right now. So, I run during morning nap, which is a power nap, and I run up and down our driveway, which is inclined. Every now and then, the hubby will watch the kids so I can go to the trail and run. Did I mention every now and then? HA  My friend, Renea and I went to the color run. Proceeds went to Children's Hospital. This was the best race to do, no timing, no pressure run, just fun for all ages, runners and walkers. But, Renea and I ran the entire way, we can't help it, it is just in us to do that.  We only stopped at the color stations and that was well worth it!  If this race comes back next year, I promised the kids they could do this. 

I have another 5K Nov 3, and let's just say I am way behind in the running department. But, if I can run at least 2 miles a few times, I will make it. That is what I did in the color run. May not be a personal record with time, but, at least I am trying. 

Kylie 6 months

Kylie turned 6 months old - what?  Half a year, already? She is our little joy and so sweet. She rarely is fussy, unless mommy leaves her, which isn't often.  Yes, she is spoiled! I have not put her in the bed with me,  and will hold off as long as possible on that. I didn't do it with Brock, and have not made that same mistake twice. Wish I had never done it the first time around, 7 yrs later, and Keira is still afraid to sleep by herself. Oh, well. Could be worse things going on.  Kylie is sitting and into whatever her little hands can get into. She loves her brother and sister and will laugh at them.  She eats well and is a healthy little baby. I love this little thing and she just completes our family.  We take her shopping or anywhere, and she just goes with the flow.   Bath time is so fun now, as she is sitting in the tub and loves the water. I think she would stay as long as I would allow her. Tummy time is still the only thing she doesn't like, doesn't last but a couple minutes. I am beginning to think she will not crawl.  The dr said his daughter did not like it either and skipped crawling. Kylie may do the same. She is just content sitting and watching everything.  Following suit of her siblings, she is in my hair all the time. But, she will grab someone else's hair, unlike the other 2.  Funny how all 3 have done that.
