We had a great time at the zoo on Saturday, October 21. It was Brookfield Zoo’s Boo! at the Zoo event. It was fun. Diego dressed up as a leopard. He looked really cute. Check him and his daddy out!
See Me Run…
This was from the Frank Lloyd Wright 5k Race. I ran it in 37:46. No comments please!
Happy 32nd Birthday to Me!!!
Wow, I can’t believe I am 32. 😆 I keep thinking I’m 23. I don’t feel like I am 32 at all. I guess that is a good thing. Happy birthday to me!
It is snowing!!!
Oh my goodness! The first snow of the season. Cool!
Ran my second 5K…
I finally got around posting my second race details.
What: Frank Lloyd Wright 5K race
Where: Oak Park, IL
When: Sunday, October 8, 2006 at 8 AM
Who: Manda and I
It was a beautiful Sunday morning. It was great running weather. The course is very flat, no hills. This is probably why we finished it in 37:46 even though we took a small walking break to have some water. Diego and Eric were there to cheer us on. They saw us between the mile mark and the half way point. Then we saw them right before the finish line. That made me smile! Now Manda is trying to get me to run another 5k on November 5. I have over three weeks to think about it. 🙂
Happy October!!!
I know this is few days late but it is better late than never.
October 1 was a beautiful day. It was in low 70s and sunny. So we decided to go apple picking at Apple Holler. It is about an hour north of Chicago. We had a great time. We had the breakfast buffet there. Diego really liked the cinnamon apple oatmeal. He couldn’t get enough. After breakfast, we went apple picking. We rented a small wagon for Diego. The best $2 ever spent. We picked Golden Delicious, Red Delicious, Jonathons, and Northern Spys. Afterward, Diego knocked out in the car on the way home. It was a good day!

Diego’s Halloween Costume…
The other thing we did this weekend was purchase Diego’s costume. I originally wanted him to be a monkey but when I saw this one in the store, I decided to have Diego try it on. It was clearly the winner…
Weekend Recap…
Friday – It has been a long time since I had gone out and partied. We went out for the end of the year softball party. I had a little bit to drink, danced, and had adult conversation (well, if you consider yelling a “conversation”). Then we went to eat at a 24 hour diner. We then went to Becky’s birthday party for a little while. We left at 1:40 am. We were in bed by 2 am.
Saturday – Got up at 7:00. Diego was my alarm clock. 🙂 I had to get Diego ready to go to My Little Gym. Eric and Diego had breakfast, I had none. Then we left. Diego and Eric went to the gym and I went to catch the bus. It was a beautiful day to go running. The race started at 9:55. There were lots of people there so the beginning of the race of a little bit crowded. But once everyone spaced out it was fine. I ran the whole thing. My time was 37:18. I was very surprised because I thought my time was going to be over 40 minutes. I saw Diego and Eric waiting for me at the finish line. That made me very happy.
Sunday – We basically just hung out at home. Saw the Bears beat the Lions 34 – 7. Go Bears!!
Remember 9/11/01…
My office building lit their windows in commemoration of 9/11.
We shall never forget. RIP
He’s walking!!!
Diego started walking today. We are so happy! He had been taking a few a steps for the past month or so. But today he actually took more that a few steps. He went around in a circle. We went to the store and he walked there too. Diego looks so cute because the more he does it the more confidence he gets. Before you know it, he will be taking off!
