Papa's Birthday!

We helped Papa celebrate his birthday with yummy steaks, chocolate cake and presents! Brady didn't give Papa a chance to forget his bday, telling him every 2 minutes that it was "Papa's Birthday".

ZooBoo!

This past Saturday we went to the zoo for their annual Halloween party, ZooBoo! Aunt Alyce and cousin Landon joined us, and a great time was had by all! There were animals, kids in costumes, candy and stuffed tree frogs as parting gifts. All the makings for a fun time!

Check out Landon (doggie) and Brady (race car driver) playing a game.

Ainsley & Brady's Weekend with Grandma Maria

While Jeff and I were in Virginia catching up with friends, and running the Army Ten Miler, Brady & Ainsley had a fun weekend with Grandma Maria! They hit an indoor play place called The Sandbox, went pumpkin picking and enjoyed a haunted hayride! They were properly spoiled, and Grandma is a hero!

Henry's Birthday

Our nephew, Henry, turned two and we headed to Syracuse to help him celebrate! Here are some highlights from the trip:

1- Henry putting on 15 layers of clothes, as he opened his presents! I've never seen a kid get excited about getting clothes as gifts!

2- Seeing baby Helen again!

3- Taking the annual Heimerman Christmas card picture! (Thanks, Nate.)

4- Aunt KK's amazing fire truck cake. She put moms like me to shame.

5- The helmet party. Henry, Brady & Ainsley all got to wear helmets. Gramma Sue, too!

6- Grampa, Gramma, Brady & Henry went to Hafner's and had a grand time at their fall festival. Face painting, a maze, a SpiderMan sighting and pumpkins!

7- Time with the Heimerman clan! (Jeff may not agree with this one.)

We Did It!

Jeff and I completed the Army Ten Miler! Jeff was a trooper and stayed with me the entire run. He found that us "slow folk" have a lot more fun than the serious runners. Maybe he'll run with us more often?!

It was a gorgeous day for a run. Blue sky, sunshine and in the 60s. It was a good run (for a 10 mile run), and I was glad when it was over! Jeff on the other hand stated that "This makes me want to run another marathon". If I had the energy, I would have swatted him.

We also had a fantastic weekend with friends and being back in Virginia! Awesome to see everyone and our old haunts, and it was hard to get back on the plane to Rochester.
