1st Day of school......

Here are the cute little buggers right before heading out for school. They were both so excited!

Had to get a back pack shot.
Oh, so grown up! Keaton started 4th grade and Talon started 1st. I can't believe it!!! Love the smiles in this picture.

Keaton is such a handsome dude : ) He is in a portable again this year and lovin' it! He has already started reading the 3rd Harry Potter book so he can be well on his way for AR points. He has such a joy for reading.
Here is Talon with his teacher. He is so happy to have his own desk this year. I am sooooooo loving that he only has 17 students in his class. Private school is the right fit for him.....couldn't ask for more! We are also car pooling with the same girl that we did last year, the two of them are crack ups together. (driving round trip for his school is 50 minutes......so happy to car pool!!!)

Run run as fast as you can...........well I am not the gingerbread man but I am making progress!

Well, if you know me at all you know that I was never a runner......never thought I would run.....didn't think I could or would like to run or even try to run. Running was pretty much a swear word in my book I think?!? Well I am here to say that by darn I can do it and have been doing it! My goal was to be able to run a 5k by my B-day. I won't be running it until a few days after my B-day but I have already reached my goal this month and I have been going 1.2 miles over my goal distance (I have been consistant @ 4.2 miles). And............I think I can say that I am starting to like running. Wow, me...........how can that be? I think it is mid life crisis kicking in or something LOL

I know that I have some runner friends out there.....what are some pointers you can give me to help me get even better and enjoy it even more? I would love some input : )
