Last weekend was the big Reineke Family Run in Findlay, OH! It was a dark and cold start, but John finished his half marathon in 1:54:31! I ran the marathon relay with Lauren and we rocked our leg of the race! It was a lot of fun seeing everybody (especially both sets of grandparents and Aunt Julie)! John's dad ran his first half marathon and he did awesome! Vannessa and Julie took the baton
awful bracelet from Lauren and I and finished their leg of the race! A big thanks to my parents for coming all the way down to watch Alex so we could run =]
Next weekend is the big one (Detroit Marathon) for John and Jose! We can't wait to root you guys on! We will be spending the week in Michigan after the marathon. First to hang out with family, then off to see friends on the west side and then the three of us head up to Mackinac Island for my 5.7 mile race! It's going to be a busy but fun filled week.

| Daddy's biggest fan! |
This week Alex and I went to a picnic with a group of moms and he went in a swing for the first time! He had a blast!
We had a great visit this weekend with my parents! John and my dad had a very productive couple of days. They fixed our leaky outdoor faucet, put a ceiling fan up in our bedroom and replaced the fan in the living room! We even got some hostas planted that my parents split from their garden, thanks for everything, mom and dad!
We took Alex to his first pumpkin patch this afternoon! Okay, so, it is actually just the local farm market and they happen to have a ton of pumpkins. It was fun nonetheless! John took the little guy through is first haystack maze and he even got to go in the tunnel! I can't promise we won't be hitting up Spicer's in Hartland when we are up in Michigan next week =] I just love their donuts too much!
