Triathlon

Chris competed in his first Triathlon on Saturday. It was so fun to be there. I got a couple good shots. We didn't see the swim portion, but caught the end of the bike and these two pictures of him running are at the end of the run.

I believe he is trying to say hi to the boys...didn't have the camera on the "sport" shot...

Chris trained for the event with our good friend, Todd. This is at the finish line!

These four guys [Peter, Todd, Chris and Zach] all worked on this event together. Great fun! On the far rights is our friend, JoAnn. We didn't know she was competing, but we ended up getting to cheer her on too!

Little Boys and Hornets don't mix

Yesterday was a scary day for Micah. They were playing at the park/lake and he stepped on a hornet's nest. (who knew they lived in the ground??) Anyway, he got four bites/stings before Chris was able to get him away from the swarm...

Even with the stings, he is pretty goofy today...you can see the swelling in his eyes though. He got one right between the eyes!

This is his leg...more of a bite, then a sting

His chubby little hand- sting was on his pointer finger

This is his forearm.

Better shot of his face

Bummer little man...This stinks, but I'm glad to know he is not allergic to them!

Packer Fever!!

We were the very fortunate receivers of tickets to the preseason Green Bay Packers game last night. Now, we've lived in Wisconsin for about 4 years now and have not been to a game and have worked very hard to understand this crazy thing called Packer Fever. But, after attending the game, I caught it...bad! I'm so excited about the season. I've even got the schedule posted on our fridge! It also helps that I already really like football. Anyway, here's some shots of the day!

The stadium at night is really beautiful.

This was a great shot of the boys yelling "Go Pack Go!"

This was our "tailgate"...we sat in some grass and had sandwiches.

Can't wait until next time!

Growing up...

I have spent the past week being a little contemplative about my kids. They are in our care for such a short time and I really can't believe how fast they are growing up. So, I am just posting a baby picture of each and a big boy picture.

Noah is about 9 months old in this one.

Micah is about two months old here.

This was just a couple weeks ago.

I think I posted this one already...but I love it!

Too fast if you ask me, but I sure love these gippers with all my heart.
