League Champions!

The Wayne Eagle's Cross Country team went undefeated this season with a record now of 42-0 after yesterday's League Championship Meet! The whole team delivered spectacular performances in cruddy, muddy conditions. They all looked like they spent a day at the spa getting mud treatments upon arriving at the finish! Working together, they finished all 5 top runners under the top 25 slots. Colin finished 3rd behind 2 fabulous runners, and earned All-League, Super Seven Status. 3 others on his team also earned All-Leage Status ( A lot like All - Northern where we came from). They continue on to Sectionals next Saturday at Marcus-Whitman. It will be a wild race to see who can earn the 5 state qualifying positions! His race is at 3:30!

Connor was fabulous! He cheered so hard, and we had a great time in the mud and rain as well. This week he has really shown such great progress with numbers and letter sound recognition. He read his first full sentence independently yesterday! "I see the dinosaur!" We are so proud of him! He is Boba Fet for Halloween! Colin is Han Solo, Tony is a strom Trooper and Mom is Padme! Milo is either Yoda or Chewie. Not sure yet, but he wants to be RdD2. We'll see! Connor's school has a costume parade on Friday I can't wait to see!

Uncle Karl's birthday is next weekend, Nov. 2nd! If memory serves, I think this is the year he told his mom she was over the hill, so he now officially joins her:).

Ahoy, there, matey!

This weekend was filled with fun! We camped out in the tent all weekend long in between Colin's practices and the Seneca Invite. He placed 6th overall, running with many Class A runners. He posted a personal best at 16:25. Not bad! Since the meet was next to the zoo, Connor and I went there and counted how many animals we could find! His favorite was the elephants! Only because..get this... they poop really big!He also loved the sea lions and this one meerkat that we swore was trying to have a conversation with him. Then we got to visit with Andy and Emily Volpe, friends from Waddington summers. Sunday was church, a birthday party for one of my God children, and then camping out again! Monday Colin had practice and a team pasta dinner before today's last big Dual meet. If they win, they are officially undefeated for the season! During the day on Monday, we escaped to the back pond. Connor and Colin made the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria. Connor's sails were the best and his boat, the Pinta, won! Then they hopped on the Santa Maria! Even Milo! See the picture on top for this one! It is a hoot! I am having problems uploading hte pic and will try later tonight.

Moonlight Madness~

On Friday night we took the kids to the Corn Maze and used our flashlights to navigate. We raced other Scout Families and it was awesome! 5 minutes after we got out of the maze, Connor fell asleep sitting up on the picnic table! Satruday I ran 7 miles with Colin and then Grandma and Grandpa Kerr came for a surprise visit. Connor had a blast with all the toys they brought down for us to help them sort. Now they will have an EWOK Village and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to play with when they go visit next time. It was great seeing the Kerrs as they take off for FL in about 2 weeks. We had a great walk through the woods to the pond and a wonderful dinner together. We won't see them until May! Sunday was beautiful. Plenty of outside work got done, but on a bad note Colin lightly sprained his ankle in the driveway. We will see how that goes. He may not run at Tuesday's meet just to be safe. It looked better this morning, though! Sunday night we went to Kyle's birthday party. He is one of my 5 Godchildren and Connor's best friend! There is a picture to the right of this blog of them!
