I am behind on blogging. I have been busy, which is a good thing. I have several blog posts I want to write - one on tradition and one on my own Christmas miracle. I also want to blog about a Thanksgiving and the Renaissance Festival. I will work on catching up, but today was so much fun, I couldn't pass up posting about it today.
This morning was church- it was a good morning at church. Today starts the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering and week of prayer for foreign missions. This is dear to my heart. It has always been, but even more so since Eric & Ashley worked with them.
Sunday School was good. I enjoy studying through the Bible. Having such a great group of people in there surely makes it nice. Then we went to worship where Second Mile was rocking the Christmas hymns and Brother Steve preached on how Christmas is not about us but about Jesus.
After Church, we came home and started on the decorations here again. This is turning into a lengthy process. It is going to look great, though.
My friend and neighbor is going to help me get into shape. I am so excited. For someone to enjoy working out as much as I do, I am just in horrible shape. Part of it is I don't like doing everything alone. I always enjoyed working out at Parkeway because I knew everyone. Even if I was working out alone, I didn't feel alone. We seemed to motivate one another. That hasn't happened since we moved from there. Lisa is going to motivate me. We met on Friday and talked about increasing my cardio. I will be adding cardio before I do water aerobics this week. It is a start.
There was city wide 5K, 1K fun run today at the park. She was taking the kids alone, so I offered to help out. We ended up having her husband and Dean, too. That was great with one kid per adult. We walked to the park only to realize we were at the wrong part of the park. We walked on up to Dell Diamond where the event was beginning. There were several things to do in the parking lot while we were waiting for the event to start.
ready to walk to the race :)
Checking out the firetruck
a discussion with Santa
Checking out the Police Car
A good one of Avery
A good one of Rylee
When we lined up for the 'race' we were all together. When the started said 'Go!' Rilee took off at sprint. Dean took off after her. Even a 4 year old's sprint is more running than he is used to doing. He suggested she slow down and wait for her mom, but she said she couldn't. She ran the whole way! When she had done about 3/4 of the race, she told him she wasn't sure she could make the whole way. She did, though. She ran the whole way.
After the 'race' we walked home through the park and the lights they have set up. The lights are very pretty, but I am not sure if it is worth $15.00.
Walking home, I laughed when I told Lisa that she really is a tough trainer - on day one she makes me do a 1K after she makes me walk 4 miles to get there! Not really that far, but I did get my cardio workout in for the day. I actually am feeling the workout tonight. It isn't even 9pm and Dean is ready to head to bed.

This was funny. The policeman gave Dax a frisbee. He asked for another for his sister. The policeman said it was nice he was taking care of his sister, but looked really funny when Dax asked for yet another.Lisa explained that he had lots of sisters :)
