happy birthday friend

i have a friend who is having a "big" birthday tomorrow, and i thought this may be the only way to tell her "hey, i'm thinking of you- have a happy day!"

the thing is, she is here:

and i, well...obviously, i am not!

the best birthday present is not being here for our first winter storm! i know you are grateful to be soaking up every bit of sunshine and adventure! i am not alone in saying, happy oct 24 to everyone, especially karri.

he said it

overheard today:
Owen: "Indexing is my favorite thing in the world- except for soccer"

25 years of Run for the Pumpkin...and a little something else

Over 250 kids, 14 and under, ran the 2km this year. What a beautiful day it was. Some of my favourite kiddos are in there...somewhere!

The clothesline of fame. I wonder who else is the proud owner of of 25 Pumpkin run shirts?

The boys took a TON of iphone pics of Daddy Bru doing the 5k. The 'old crow' can still race.

Look who we found in the pumpkin patch: 

Thanks Mom/Grandma, for 25 great years of running memories

Lastly, Bruce opened his second physio clinic today! He's still waiting for cards, signage and equipment, but he's ready for business at the U. After 10 long years, another checkmark can be placed on his bucket list! Congrats, Bru.
