    Halloween 2010....

    It has been a fun couple of weekends, that is for sure. Halloween is my favorite holiday and I would really like to share that with Hannah. Last weekend we were fortunate enough to have a decent Saturday morning with no hockey, that combination has proved to be very difficult this October!! Anyways, we piled into the car Saturday morning and headed over to Stonycreek Farm in Noblesville. This is the same pumpkin farm that we took Hannah to last year but this year she could actually partake in most of the festivities!!



    They had an enormous pile of hay that kids could just run and jump in. This took Hannah a little bit to warm up to but after a while she was hanging out in the hay just like all the other kids!



    Hannah and Daddy were checking out a tree with pumpkins hanging on it...



    The pumpkin train was a big hit.....we got to the pumpkin patch very near the time that they opened and the weather wasn't beautiful so we could really go wherever we wanted and didn't have to wait in any lines...





    And Hannah met Simon, she has never been on a pony before so we were not quite sure how that was going to go, but she rode Simon all around the corral without Mommy or Daddy holding on to her and loving every minute of it!





    Think she likes Simon???


    This weekend was also full of Halloween festivities. Daddy and Hannah went to ZooBoo on Friday evening, I got to meet up with them a bit later but she had lots of fun. It was kind of like a trick or treating warm up, we got to see all the animals at the zoo and get candy along the way.
    Saturday evening we headed over to the Lee's house for a fun kid's Halloween party. Lots of kids in costume!!
    This was our first Halloween in our new house, we live in a great neighborhood with lots of great kids. Chuck and I took turns walking around with Hannah, she was having a good time collecting her candy, by the end of the evening she was dragging her candy bucket down the street because she was so tired, but was a pretty happy camper when she sat down on our front door step and I opened up her first tootsie pop of the evening!

    Marathon Weekend...

    Ok, I know I always say this but we have been BUSY!! I have a lot of catching up to do. We need to begin with Chuck running the Columbus Marathon on 10/17/2010!!! I can't believe he took this on but he did and he finished all 26.2 miles of it and he did amazing!!! I originally thought when he told me that Kevin wanted him to do the Columbus Marathon with him that he was completely crazy, I am all for running half marathons but half marathons aren't nearly the time commitment that a full marathon is, I realize that many busy people run marathons, but Chuck is BUSY and 26.2 miles is REALLY REALLY far!! Between traveling for work, spending time with Hannah and I and coaching hockey, finding the time to put the training in that you need to do to complete a marathon was nearly impossible.
    We headed over to Columbus on Saturday morning. We went to a beautiful park, met Aunt Cathy, and Hannah participated in the Diaper Dash. This was hilarious and I think she enjoyed herself. After the diaper dash we met up with Kevin and Kayt and headed over to the expo to pick up bib numbers, shirts and to check out all the fun booths!
    The awesome thing about this marathon was that since it was in Columbus, Ohio we had lots of friends and family already in the area, plus since it was a pretty convenient location we had lots of friends running!!! Saturday, early evening a big group of us met up for a pre-race meal at Bucca, we did some catching up, then all headed home for an early bed time!
    Sunday morning was early!! We were very nervous about having to wake Hannah up at 5:45 but I think she knew it was a big day for Daddy and popped right up ready to go. We piled into the car and headed downtown! We hit very little traffic heading down there and parking was easy, unfortunately the starting area was a bit of a cluster. Chuck wasn't able to meet up with anyone he knew and had the hardest time even getting into his corral to actually start the race. Hannah and I gave Chuck a kiss, wished him luck and lost him in the crowd.
    Like I said, we knew a lot of people running this, which also meant we had lots of spectator friends!! I told Chuck that Aunt Cathy, Steph, Hannah and I would be at miles 9, 12, 19 and the finish. Kayt, her friends and family were at miles 5.5, 10, 15, 20 and the finish. My Uncle who is completely crazy got up at 4:30 in the morning to drive back from Canada to see Chuck finish, so he was at mile 23 and the finish, so needless to say the boys had a lot of support!! It was an amazing day and we are so proud of Chuck for doing it!
    I don't have very many pictures from the race, I was more worried about not missing Chuck running by and then getting him the things he needed, but here are a few!

    Sticker Time...

    Yesterday while I was getting a few things done around the house Hannah decided she and Rudy should play with stickers! I think she had a lot more fun then Rudy did, especially when I had to pull the stickers off!
