Cross Country Meet

On November 3rd, Marcin and I were able to go and see his two cousins run in their state cross country meet. It was especially fun because both the boys team and the girls team qualified for the state meet for the first time in just about forever. Megan and Brett did an awesome job and we had so much fun cheering them on.

Megan's team took first place and that's a picture of Megan holding the oh-so-big first place trophy on the winner's stand. You can see her running too with all the other girls. She's the only one in red and yellow amongst the crowd.


Brett's team also had an amazing meet. They took fourth place which was the highest place that a boys cross country team from Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School had ever taken. Here's a picture of Brett running and he's the first yellow shirt / red shorts runner you see.


Josh and Whitney were also in town for the meet and it was so much fun getting to see them and spend some time with them. I'm pretty sure we haven't seen them since we got married so we were lucky to have them around for a short while. It's great having some family up here with us. We don't know what we'd do without Uncle Russ, Aunt Cindy and Megan and Brett.

Halloween

On Halloween night Marcin and I decided to invite all our great friends over so that everyone's kids could go trick-or-treating together. Really we just wanted everyone to get together and used their kids and the holiday as an excuse! It was a blast! All the kids had great costumes on and it was so fun to get together with a bunch of the podiatry couples. We both feel so blessed to be a part of a school that not only has so many young families and great people, but also because quite a few of them go to church with us as well so we are able to see them on a weekly basis! Marcin and I had so much fun hosting everyone and decorating for the big party. We decorated the garage and had everyone hang out there since our house isn't quite big enough for all those people. Luckily it wasn't too cold and everyone wasn't freezing to death.




Since I don't have kids to dress up, Marcin and I attempted Halloween costumes for ourselves. I had to dress up as a Wizard of Oz character for a work event so I was trying to be a Munchkin. Marcin was a doctor; real original and creative, I know. I think people were a little confused about what I was trying to be, but it was a lot of fun anyway. One little girl asked, "How come your cheeks are so pink?" "Why would you do that?" I thought, oh great, even the little kids aren't amused! We also dressed Lila and Rufus up but forgot to take pictures. I might dress them up again just to have pictures of them and I'll post them later. All in all it was a great Halloween and hopefully we can keep up the tradition of having everyone get together.
