Fall

It seems Fall has arrived in North Texas - well, that means it's in the 70"s and 80's not the 90's and 100's! Things are going well with the Conners - we are slowly but surely working out our travel plans for the next few months and I am SOOO looking forward to the holiday's! I love this time of year because we get to spend A LOT of time with family.

Last week was rough. Mackenzie came down with a fever and we were very scared it was the swine flu. Turned out to be just a cold but then Jason and I got hit with it as well. Not fun at all. We were all down for a few days except for Mady - she remained healthy. I am so nervous about this flu and my babies. We will all have our flu shots at the end of this week but poor Mackenzie is still too young to get one. It worries me. It has also jacked up her sleeping tremendously. She was sleeping 7-9 hour stretchs but now we are back up to waking up 2-3 times/night. Not fun!! Hopefully it will get better soon.

The family is coming into town in 2 weeks and I couldnt be more psyched. Mackenzie is getting Christened on October 18th and Brad and Julie (Jason's sis) are the Godparents. Steph, Ashley and the kids and my mom will also be coming. It is also Texas/OU weekend so we will be going to the State Fair and the game...I cannot wait!

We decided to stay in Dallas for Thanksgiving, a number of reasons but most of all because we waited way too long and tickets are ungodly expensive to Orlando. We will go in the Spring and take the girls to Disney. So that means I get to run my 8th Turkey Trot, I am so excited!

Madelyn is really looking forward to Christmas - it is going to be so much fun with her this year. Her imagination is amazing at this age and I just have more and more fun with her each day - she truly is such a joy. Mackenzie is growing before my very eyes! She can sit in her Bumbo seat now and in her jumparoo thingy. She is sooo vocal and happy and loves "talking". This morning she woke up at 5am but was so happy and smily that we just got up and played for an hour before we had to get ready.

It's College Football season so that means I have one happy husband. He has spent the past few weekends watching as much as he wants and I know how much he loves that. Saturday is the big game so we are anxiously waiting....

I've just been focusing on running and improving my time. I've set a goal for the half in December and plan to beat it! Ive really had to work though on sticking between 25-30 miles/week, any more and my knees REALLY feel it. I thought I was in bad shape the week before last when the pain was unbearable but it has since gotten better. Damn those old injuries!

Anyway, that's what's up with us. I'll update again soon.
