Documenting a week in the life of...

Monday, Sept 29th

I let the kids sleep in today, it was a long weekend of soccer and they needed to rest.  Grandma cam to pick them u around 8:30am and I was headed to Shepard's Gate, the local Christian Donation Center to drop off about  8 bags of clothes.  I decided to call first and I came to find out that they didn't accept donations until 9:30am, so I had about an hour of free time.

Free time = Computer time

- Updated Blog

- Checked out some Digi Holiday cards

- Emailed c0-workers some great photos of the Triathlon on the 27th

382nd Place...

Ok, so I didn't place in the top 100, but hey out of 1000+ women, I thought I did pretty well.  

I was nervous all week preparing myself for my first sprint triathlon... 400 yd swim, 11 mile bike and 3 mile run.  This took place in Pleasanton at Shadow Cliffs on Saturday the 27th.  It was all Kirky's idea and Dana and I joined in... we all work together in recreation at SJSU at thought it would be a great challenge... we got Kim and Carrie (students) to join us too.

Everyone did really well, I ranked 47 in the swim, Kirky kicked butt on the bike and Dana's run was an outrageous 22min.  

This experience was a great one and I hope to do it again and encourage others to join in.

Veggie Tales...

We went to a Veggie Tales Concert that was hosted by Cornerstone Fellowship. This was the first type of activity the kids have been to  that included music with a dark surrounding.  Savana was scared at first, but then the stage crew pulled out the bubbles and this kids went wild.  

I chased CT around the whole night.  Thank goodness grandma came with us to watch Savana.  She was able to stay with Savana while CT ran around trying to hug all the little girls. The act was very amusing and fun to watch.  I am sure they will both enjoy another kid concert just like it.

We didn't stay for the whole thing, by 9:00pm the kids were exhausted.  

Going to school

This was the official second week of school.  Savana has adjusted well and has only one bad morning... that is pretty good since her wake-up time has been moved to 2 hours earlier.  We have a long year ahead of us, but it will be so much fun. 

I also have to confess. I have no "first day of school photos"  I don't want to bore you with my ignorance, but I basically deleted them while figuring out all the SLR  Camera gadgets at the photography event. 

I this photo is a result of the great event, using your SLR off auto was the theme and I have to say I am getting use to it...  I love how this photo captures the back of Savana, while the rest of it is still in motion.
