USMC Ball 2011





Bill and I attended the 236th USMC this past Saturday night. First I have to say I did my own hair, I know shocking!! I am so impressed with my self! ;0) We had a great night as adults, out by ourselves, and of course celebrating the Marine Corps Birthday!







Halloween 2011




Halloween this year was a lot of fun! The kids had a great time in their costumes (William still wears his almost daily)! Bill got home the Friday before (29th) just in time to head to Wegmans for their in store Trick-or-Treating, where the kids got to paint small pumpkins and visit the different locations (bakery, deli...) for candy. They had a blast and how can you not have fun when it's Wegmans?

Sunday I ran the USMC 10k in Washington DC it was very cold, below freezing for the whole race, but I had a great time. I was hoping for under 50 minutes and ran my a great race, unfortunately my last mile got me and the last 2 tenths up hill hit me hard and I finished at 50:01! A bummer to come so close, but it is something to work towards and I'm doing the Turkey Trot 10k on base in a couple weeks! ;0)

Halloween was a blast with the kids, Quinlan didn't even notice he had a costume on and loved being pulled in the wagon (he also loved being handed lolly-pops as we went along!). Lillian and William were really into this year which was great! There are more pictures on our web site:





















































Lillian Last Soccer Game




Lillian had her last soccer game of the fall season a few weeks ago. She really enjoyed playing on her team and in their weekly games.
