Where has the time gone?

Oh yes, we saw Vanessa Hudgens at Cholos in North Shore! First famous person for all of us! haha!

Silly girl!

After the Half Marathon.. WAHOO!

Audrey, rocking Dad's race number on her stroller! :)

I absolutely cannot believe it's almost Thanksgiving. I feel like we just moved to Hawaii, and now we are into the Holiday season! I can't believe it!
Audrey is now 8 months and is doing amazing. She's learning all sorts of things and is growing so much. Everyday, she learns something new, and is just so much fun to be around. I'm so lucky I get to stay home with her and not work... we have so much fun playing! She loves to laugh, play, crawl around... still loves sweet potatoes, apples, yougart, bananas, and pretty much anything else she can get her hands on. We are trying the sippy cup right now, but she hasn't quite figured out what it is. She loves to eat or take a bite out of anything we have in our hands... it's pretty cute. She loves to drink from my water bottles, and she's actually pretty good at it! We weighed her about a week and a half ago, and she was 18 1/2 pounds!

We've been pretty busy since we've been here... we've already had my Mom come out twice, my dear friend Erica came to see us, and last week my best friend Stacy came to see us! Last Sunday Paul, Stacy and I ran the Val Nolasco Half Marathon. It was so much fun (well, besides the last couple of miles) and what an amazing experience it was. Paul was amazing and pushed Audrey the WHOLE way. He even beat Stacy and I by 30 mins! Paul and I have been thinking about running the North Shore Marathon in May, but we will wait and see if he will even be here, or if there just might be a bun in the oven. :)
The next couple of weeks are going to fly by. We are having Thanksgiving at our house, and plan on having some people from Paul's work come over who don't have any family or friends in the area to spend the day with us. Paul will leave the week after Thanksgiving, and won't return until the middle of December. I'll be heading to Colorado for a little over a week while he's gone and both Audrey and I are so, so, so excited! I can't wait to have some fun in the snow and spend some great family time with everyone. I can't wait to see Audrey play with all of her cousins!

We took some x-mas pictures of Audrey before Paul left, and I'm in the process of making the cards! I can't wait to send the out and for you all to see them. :)

Looks like you guys have been having lots of fun! Can't wait for you to get here. What size in Audrey now? Do you want me to get out Annie's warm clothes from last year for when you come?

Congratulations on the half marathon! I can't believe Paul pushed Audrey the whole way! I wonder how many other babies have done the 13.1 :) Haha. I can't wait to see Audrey's Christmas pictures. She is so cute all the time and I miss her so much! I'm glad you're doing so great!
