Paging Dr. Caswell....

It was very timely that Declan was a doctor this Halloween since I was just getting over a bad flu bug last week. He definitely made me feel better running around in his cute doctor costume.

Cool Boots Dude

With the recent snowfall, we ran out and got Decky new boots, snow pants, a winter jacket, and a good pair of mittens. He is all set to play outside in the snow at day-care! We tried on his boots the other day, and he wouldn't let me take them off and insisted on trying them out around the house.

Punkins!

A few weeks ago, we went with Grandpa and Grandma Caswell to get pumpkins. It was a chilly day outside, but Declan didn't seem to mind. He played in the haystacks, and loved running around in the open field. I couldn't keep the mittens on him, so you will notice he had one on at times...little stinker!

Grandma, let me show you....

Declan has become very independent in recent weeks, and likes to show people that he can "do it himself!" Below, he was showing Grandma Caswell how to make his cars go down the slide.

Congrats Colleen and Andy!

We signed Delan up for swimming lessons this fall, and he loves it. We have had 4 lessons and he gets more comfortable with each session - even jumping into the water to mom!

Hi Dad!

Twin Cities 10K

My sister Colleen and I ran the Twin Cities 10k this morning. It was our first race, so we were a little nervous, but it ended up being so much fun! There was so much energy down by the Capital which was so fun to be a part of.

My goal was to finish it under an hour, and I ended up finishing a little over 56 minutes (approx. a 9 min mile), so I was really happy. It was a perfect day for running, nice and chilly.

I have to say I can see why people get addicted to these races. I was so pumped the rest of the day, and I can definitely see myself doing more. My other sister Katie is running the 10 mile tomorrow (good luck Kate!) and she asked me if I wanted to do the Grandma's half marathon with her next summer. Not sure if I will be ready for that yet, but I'll plan on trying a few more in between then and see how it goes. Fun! I have a new hobby!

Almost there....

Whoo hoo!
