Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween from Mr. Skeleton! Although it is Landon's second Halloween, it was much more eventful because he can walk and he understands much more. We went over to a friends' house who was having a kids Halloween party. There were probably 10 kids all dressed up. It was really cute and I think everyone had a good time.

Dada and Landon eating some dinner... I think chips.

As we all know, Landon is a climber. He has already figured out how to climb out of his crib, and today he proved that he can climb a fence to get to the 'car'. While this one isn't HIS car, he had one just like it, so he didn't want to share it much with the other kids.

I love my car!

Time to Trick or Treat! We walked around our friends' neighborhood (5 families) and went trick-or-treating. It was really fun and Landon did a really good job. He was a little scared at first, but then go the hang of it and would walk up and pick a piece of candy out of the bowl. He had a good collection of candy by the end of the night.

Trick or treating with Madelyn

Trick or treating is hard work, so Dada gave Landon a piggyback ride home.

I love my crayons!

Bath Time!!!

Landon just couldn't wait to get in the tub...so he jumped in with his clothes on!

Landon's Day Care Report from Miriam

"Landon likes to go into the playroom and knock down the high chairs." (I think there are 3 of them). "I always tell him not to do that. I asked him, did you knock the chair down?" He said, "I did!". "I wanted to laugh...at least he was honest!"

Landon's promotion!

As many of you already know, Landon is getting a promotion to BIG BROTHER!! No, we aren't getting a dog...we're expecting Baby Burke #2! We are very excited. He/She will arrive at the end of April. So far I'm feeling pretty good. No sickness, but VERY tired. I have been going to bed at 8:30pm most nights, but this week I think I've been able to stay up until 9:00pm! I'm looking forward to the first trimester being over so I can have some of my energy back and get back to the gym and running. We will keep everyone updated on our progress, but so far, I'm feeling good and we're both healthy!

Virginia Beach Rock n' Roll Half Marathon

After swearing that I would never do a half marathon again (see my November post), I just did another one this weekend. Let me explain. I always wanted to do the Rock n Roll Half in Virginia Beach (it's on my Bucket List), and that one was supposed to be my only one, but we always have something going on Labor Day weekend, so it has never worked out for me. Well, I've been running a lot lately with my running girls and I tossed out the idea in May. Long story short, Casey and I signed up for the race and later found out that Betsey signed up too! So the 3 of us ran our Half Marathon on Sunday completing it in 2 hours 26 minutes and 44 seconds. Which happens to be how long it takes us to drive from Richmond to VA Beach! This time is a little slower (3 minutes) than my Richmond Half time, but I felt GREAT afterwards. It was a really good run (pace), perfect weather, and great company (Casey and Bets ROCK!). We stayed at a hotel right on the water so it was convenient and relaxing too.

Will I do another one? Let's just say, I'm not saying no...we'll see.
