Happy Halloweeny Tweeny

Oktoberfest

This month has been filled with seasonal festivities. A trip to Sunny Hill Farms to select our Halloween gourds, the annual Rose family costume party, and pumpkin carving have filled some of our free time over the recent weeks. As evidenced from the pictures below, we've been busy making memories!

 

The obligatory "driving a tractor full of pumpkins" photo.



The gruesomeness of this photo opportunity didn't dawn on me until later. I'm happy to report no nightmares followed this outing.

                                     

This pumpkin was a bit too heavy to carry.

But this pumpkin was the perfect size.

Costume party at Aunt Karen's - You may or may not thank me for lamb costume one day.

Happy Halloween, Owl (Hailey)!

You take pumpkin cleaning very seriously.

Summer 2012 Highlight Reel

Go Runners!

We walked to Summit Avenue this crisp fall morning to cheer the runners in the Twin Cities Marathon. You were a big fan of the Postal Band playing pep songs on the corner of Prior. Tears flowed at the rattle of the last note of each song. Fortunately, the horns kept humming and the runners kept running. "Go, go, go!" we yelled.

Would you believe your Dad and I ran the marathon in 2005? No? Me neither but we actually did. It turns out 26.2 miles is a really long way to go. We trotted across the finish after running for four hours and forty-five minutes. No records were broken with that time but an accomplishment nonetheless. Maybe you'll run a race someday. If so, you can be certain we will be there to cheer you on. Go, go, go Delaney!
