Halloween

Trick Or Treat! This year Hudson decided to be Batman and Westin was Link (from the Legend of Zelda). Each of the boys really seemed to get into character!

Pre-Halloween

Well Hurricane Sandy may have postponed Halloween a little, but it wasn't going to ruin our Pre-Halloween festivities. We made jack o lantern pizzas, painted and carved pumpkins.

Hudson Soccer

Quite the little soccer star we have on our hands....my favorite is when we get the thumbs up over on the sidelines after he has done something good. I love this kiddo!

Training!

Many of you know I'd been training since July to run the DIVA Half Marathon and the Army 10 Miler. There was quite a large group of ladies running here, so I thought it would be great motivation, plus it's always something I've wanted to do! Well, the training was done, and all I had left was the race. First was the Diva Half Marathon. 4 days prior to the race, I was playing with the boys in the kitchen and landed wrong on my leg. After an ER trip and leaving on crutches, it was detemined I could not run the race, let alone walk. MRI was scheduled for the following week. Who knew I would be in tears because I couldn't run?!?! My girls managed (and I'm still not sure how) to get me a finisher medal and a tiara and a boa. I can't thank them enough...

So, now fast forward to the following week. 4 days before the Army 10 miler. Had an MRI done on my leg, and turns out I had a tear in my gastrocnemius....aka calf muscle. The radiologist and my dr. said absolutely do not run, but my ortho doc said it's already torn, so if I want to give it a whirl, go ahead. So, I went with the 1 in 3 shot, and was not going to let all that training go to waste! I'm happy to report I ran and completed the 10 miler! Thank to my wonderful husband and Uncle Nick for watching the kids so I could enjoy the race! I didn't realize Captain America was also running, so thanks also to him for keeping my boys entertained. Now, on to recovery!
